In an effort to work around the problem of LED lighting currently being too expensive for the average consumer, one company is looking to turn the technology into a service.
That is the essentially the core concept of Digital Lumens’ plan to provide LED lighting and energy management services, instead of outright selling their equipment. The startup company, based in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, is looking to launch its niche services in early 2013, this according to a statement by CEO Tom Pincince. Part of their service plan’s guarantee is providing enough lighting to ensure a good working environment for employees.
He noted that consumers today typically look at lighting equipment, such as light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs, as a purchase. And because of the ability of LEDs to be integrated with smart lighting control systems, their services could one day expand to managing an intelligent lighting system remotely.
Appeal
What makes the service planned by Digital Lumens appealing revolves around how the LED fixtures can be wirelessly connected through, and how they come packed with processors and sensors that create a lighting system that can be adjusted to the specific needs of certain areas inside an office.
For instance, an office can have lights automatically dimmed when no workers are around, or immediately switch to full power when the shades are drawn (e.g. PowerPoint presentations and film screenings).
Components
Digital Lumens doesn’t do any R&D on the LED components themselves, instead choosing to use products from Cree. The company designs unique lighting systems and have created their own lighting management software.
The company is looking to aim its services on the industrial sector, which involves illuminating spaces such as warehouses and factories.
