Smart lighting is an underlying concept that links three main aspects: solid-state lighting (SSL) technologies, advanced control and universal communication interfaces following global standards. However, this conceptualization is constantly evolving to comply with the guidelines of the next generation of devices that work in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. Modern smart lighting systems are based on light emitting diode (LED) technology and involve advanced drivers that have features…
Smart lighting is an underlying concept that links three main aspects: solid-state lighting (SSL) technologies, advanced control and universal communication interfaces following global standards. However, this conceptualization is constantly evolving to comply with the guidelines of the next generation of devices that work in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. Modern smart lighting systems are based on light emitting diode (LED) technology and involve advanced drivers that have features such as dynamic spectral light reproduction and advanced sensing capabilities. The ultimate feature is of additional advanced services serving as the hub for optical communications that allows coexistence with traditional Wi-Fi gateways in indoor environments. In this context, lighting systems are evolving to support different wireless communications interfaces compatible with the IoT ecosystem. Market tendencies of SSL systems predict the accelerated expansion of connected IoT lighting control systems in different markets from smart homes and industrial environments. These systems offer advanced features never seen before such as advanced spectral control of the light source and also, the inclusion of several communication interfaces. These are mainly wired, radiofrequencies (RF) and optical wireless communications (OWC) interfaces for advanced services such as sensing and visible light communications (VLC). In this paper we present how to design and realize IoT-based smart lighting systems for different applications using different IoT-centric lighting architectures. Finally, different standards and aspects related to interoperability and web services are explained taking into account commercial smart lighting platforms.

The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment / Springer Link 8 de abril de 2017

This paper presents the life cycle assessment (LCA) of fully spectrally tunable solid-state lighting (SSL) systems conceived to operate in two different application fields: artwork (museum lighting) and horticulture. The choice of these scenarios responds to the requirement of high-quality light with reduced energy consumption. Reductions from 30% up to 60% in the energy consumption throughout the SSL systems life cycle compared to conventional luminaires are expected in an average European…

Summary
The impending energy crisis brought on by the running out of finite and non-homogenously distributed fossil fuel reserves and the worldwide increase in energy demand has prompted vast research in the development of sustainable energy technologies in the last few decades. However, the efficiency of most of these new technologies is relatively small and therefore it needs to be increased to eventually replace conventional technologies based on fossil fuels. The required efficiency increase primarily relies on the ability to improve the performance of the functional materials which are at the heart of these technologies. The purpose of this book is to give a unified and comprehensive presentation of the fundamentals and the use and design of novel materials for efficient sustainable energy applications, such as conversion, storage, transmission, and consumption. The book presents general coverage of the use and design of advanced materials for sustainable energy applications. Thus, the book addresses all the relevant aspects, such as materials for energy conversion, storage, transmission, and consumption.

IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference 2015 11 de mayo de 2015

This work presents a low cost prototype implementing new IEEE 802.15.7 standard for Visible Light Communications. A commercial off-the-shelf development platform is used to implement the firmware controlling the system. The system is tested with different LED luminaires and distances achieving data rates of 100 kbit/s with Bit Error Rates between (10−7 to 10−4) over distances up to 8 meters. Brightness control of the LED while transmitting data can be achieved allowing for a tuneable VLC system.

Smart lighting systems go far beyond merely replacing lamps. These modern systems are now able to reproduce arbitrary spectra, color temperatures, and intensities and pivot on smart sensors and actuators incorporating information and communication technologies. This paper presents an interoperable smart lighting solution that combines heterogeneous lighting technologies enabling intelligent functions. The system can shift light intensity to increase visual comfort, and it is oriented toward human centric lighting studies. Moreover, this system follows the guidelines defined by the ISO/IEC/IEEE 21451 standards and ZigBee Light Link and also, it includes an additional transducer signal treatment service for artificial intelligence algorithms. Finally, a representational state transfer application allows us to test the interoperability and visualize energy savings in an office room.

Advanced LED technology for automotive applications. The Lighting Group of IREC is currently collaborating with the company LPI (Light Prescriptions Innovators) Europe in the development of an innovative line of front and rear lights for the automotive industry characterized by generating a uniform light pattern across the whole visible surface, taking into account the car body style. This innovation enables wide variety of aesthetics and design possibilities since the light system perfectly blends with the exterior car lines. This system is based on two main columns. On one hand, the ultra-thin Camaleón optics, conceived by LPI Europe, suitable to comply with the usual space restrictions in vehicle designs. On the other hand, the electronics, totally developed by the Lighting Group of IREC and based on LED technology, it is composed by a single LED array with different emission wavelengths by an exclusive control software, all the functionalities of front and rear lights. In short, Camaleón light is a very compact technology that substantially reduces the space within the car devoted to lighting which is especially due to its ultra-compact optical system and its monolithic LED system capable of covering all the car lighting and signalling functions (positioning, brake, blinker, etc.) with a single PCB.
The project is coordinated by the cluster SECPhO (Southern European Cluster in Photonics and Optics), within the framework of the CAMALEON project, funded by the Ministerio de Industria Energía y Turismo through its specific call to “Agrupaciones Empresariales Innovadoras, (AEI’S)” (Innovation Business Clusters).

Human centric lighting is intended to promote a person’s well-being, mood and health. It can improve concentration, safety and efficiency in workplaces or educational environments. It can support healing processes and prevention of chronic diseases among persons with irregular daily routines or in elder care.
In short, lighting is not just visual; it is now evident that lighting has biological and emotional impacts on human beings.

This project implements advanced communications technology for the entire range of LEDMOTIVE Internet of Things (IoT) products focused on circadian lighting, spectral analysis, and dynamic reproduction of light in interior spaces so that these systems follow the same patterns luminous than outdoor solar lighting.
There are numerous studies and scientific evidence that demonstrate the importance of secure IoT lighting networks and their impact in the short and medium term when the deployment of these circadian lighting solutions are fully operational in different scenarios, especially to increase visual comfort, increase concentration, and productivity, as well as decrease the rate of errors and increase reaction times in activities that require high concentration.
