SMART BULBS

The smart bulbs They are much more than a simple bulb to which someone thought it was a good idea to provide connectivity. Its uses and advantages are so many that they will surprise you when you know how to take advantage of them.

smart lighting is the term we use to refer to a intelligent lighting system. This technological set is made up of sensors, controllers and, of course, a lighting network. The objective is none other than that of promote increasingly efficient use of resources reducing the final cost of the system while maintaining or improving the lighting level. This last aspect is very important and is the point on which all the efforts and innovations that we have experienced in recent years revolve. Lighting is very important for our life, as it directly influences aspects as important to us as health and safety.

Efficient light, savings and sustainability

La Energy Efficiency  It is essential if we talk about Smart Lighting. Intelligent lighting systems are based on the principle of offer more with less, in other words, maintain or improve the level of luminosity with a lower energy cost. Each of the steps that this technology has taken has always been under this premise, which has meant savings in the current accounts of the many institutions and families that have taken the step of implementing a smart lighting model in their facilities and homes. .

This has not happened overnight. The search for greater lighting efficiency began in 1879 when Thomas Alva Edison created the first light bulb. Since that day, every step, every new technology or improvement has gone in this direction.

The first incandescent light bulbs lost their 90% of energy in the form of heat, a quality that did not add any value to a product whose mission is to illuminate. Taking this into consideration, it is clear that if the temperature of the bulbs could be reduced, the energy loss would be limited, and therefore, improving the efficiency of the device. With the first bombillas energy-saving Savings of 25% were achieved compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. If we replace them with the well-known fluorescent ones, the savings is 75%, the same percentage as if LED bulbs are used.

LED technology is the precursor of Smart Lighting for its numerous advantages: lower consumptiona whirlpool bath, 50.000 hour lifespan, up to five times more than a fluorescent light and two more than halogens -, the quick ignition and the fact that turning them on and off frequently does not affect their useful life. All these points have an impact on the long-term cost of maintenance and consumption of a sistema Smart Lighting It is much smaller than other technologies. Furthermore, unlike fluorescent lights, LEDs do not contain mercury, an element that is highly harmful to people's health and the environment.
