A significant feature of the smart lighting device is that innovative control technology can be incorporated into a solitary lu-minaire to give a lighting control system in its own right. They can alter individual light levels de-pending on the occupancy and am-bient light in the vicinity of each luminaire. Thus implies they are intelligent control solutions direct-ly from the purpose of production and help make smart buildings im-mediately after installation.Substantial power savings can be achieved by creating adaptive lighting environments. For exam-ple, using motion sensors and am-bient light sensors, the light inten-sity can be intelligently controlled to maintain a constant lighting level throughout the office space/home. The lightning network will not only serve the purpose of smart lighting but also serve as a power-ful data channel for passing sensor data and other relevant data to the cloud. Due to its integrated net-work spanning an entire building, its simple installation and commis-sioning as well as its ease of use, lighting has a significant advan-tage over other controls technolo-gy and makes it a logical choice as the backbone of a smart building.Smart lighting is the mix of IoT technology and lighting instal-lations, designed to improve the proficiency and the management of devices. The essentials of smart lighting include comprehension of basic lighting control frameworks and the operation of sensors. They can fundamentally impact the con-sumption of energy by using fix-tures that detect the presence of the users and illuminate only when required.The major technology behind smart connected homes is IoT. Smart lighting offers convenience, control and comfort in many ways; such as a change in colour if it starts to rain to set the right mood or a light pulse to replace the door-bell when the children are asleep. The possibilities are endless. Smart LED bulbs and switches connect to Wi-Fi and other apps, which enable button and voice controls for the positioning, brightness, warmth and colour of connected bulbs. Lighting products and IoT are becoming ubiquitous across the digital fabric of our lives, and with smart lighting coming to the fore, realisation and unlocking the potential of smart automation across residential and commercial domains is extensive. Even though smart lighting works on a reason-ably basic operational model, it involves a large volume of sensors, controls and a central system that is responsible for the operation of this technology. Dimmers, sensors and timers have become essential aspects of lighting design.Lighting will remain at the very heart of smart networking solu-tions for buildings and homes. In-vesting in smart lighting can be a great way to manage all your light-ing controls and sensors. A smart system allows you to manage all of your connected lighting from any of your smart devices, adjust-ing lighting schedules and sensor functions as needed. With talks of the need to become more ener-gy-efficient, lighting automation would save energy and increase the life of your light bulb, so that they are friendlier to the environ-ment and your pocket. Lighting control is expected to be the next big thing. SMART LIGHTING IS THE MIX OF IOT TECHNOLOGY AND LIGHTING INSTALLATIONS, DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE PROFICIENCY AND THE MANAGEMENT OF DEVICES
