Lighting Arrangement, Lighting System and Method for Controlling a Lighting Arrangement

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention relates to a smart lighting arrangement and control system that uses both local sensor data and external, internet-acquired light information—such as weather, daylight, and brightness forecasts—to intelligently and efficiently manage the lighting output of one or more luminaires (lights). By incorporating cloud-based data and decentralized sensors, the system optimizes artificial lighting in response to predicted and real-time environmental conditions and user presence, providing anticipative and adaptive control for energy efficiency and enhanced lighting quality.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Office buildings with dynamic daylight conditions that require automated lighting adjustment.
• Smart homes seeking to optimize energy consumption and user comfort by adapting lighting to weather predictions and occupancy.
• Hospitals or care centers needing consistent, health-supporting lighting (e.g., for circadian rhythm support) by managing light intensity and spectrum.
• Public spaces such as airports, schools, or shopping centers desiring to maximize daylight utilization and reduce energy costs.
• Industrial facilities prioritizing energy efficiency and safety through intelligent illumination control.
• Street lighting systems that adapt to weather, daylight, and traffic data to minimize energy use.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Substantial energy savings by only using artificial lighting when and as needed, leveraging real-time and forecast data.
• Improved lighting quality for human health, well-being, and productivity by adjusting light parameters such as spectrum and intensity proactively.
• Reduced hardware complexity in lighting fixtures, as many sensors and controls are managed centrally or in the cloud.
• Greater flexibility and scalability, as the system can integrate multiple light sources and external data feeds.
• Enhanced maintenance and operational insight through sensor- and cloud-based monitoring, enabling predictive adjustments and troubleshooting.
• Supports swarm intelligence between multiple luminaires, allowing the whole lighting system to act cohesively for larger spaces.
