Like many workplace technologies, early smart-lighting solutions were promoted as strategies for boosting energy savings and productivity. And they delivered. In fluorescent-lit office buildings, automated dimming controls and occupant sensors were shown to result in energy savings of up to 70% or more. As fluorescent sources gave way to more efficient and versatile LEDs, lighting designers began to focus on using LED technologies to create personal, dynamic, and human-centric lighting designs that integrate daylight and electric light throughout a space.
