The smart lighting industry involves the use of lighting control systems that deliver correct amount of light when needed. It deals with the technology where lights can automatically perform various operations at set times or under set conditions. It makes use of intelligent lighting control systems to intelligently control light, based on various parameters such as; occupancy, movement, color temperature, amount of natural/daylight and so on. The customers of lighting control systems apply a set of such lighting control strategies using specific technologies and methods to control consumption of light energy. Automated lighting control not only provides less expensive and more flexible lighting, but also monitors various tasks carried out by the users. The smart lighting market is growing in a remarkable way and the main factors driving this growth are the rising growth of Light Emitting Diode (LED), lighting in commercial modernization, rapid growth of street lighting systems, and expansion of smart lighting for smart cities. At present there are many companies launching new products in the market.

It is observed that LED based lighting devices integrated with different types of wireless technologies have a good opportunity at present in the market. The wireless networking technologies are bringing intelligence to a new generation of smart lighting. The main drivers for the market include: incompatible wireless communication solutions, lack of awareness, more supply than demand, and difficulty of maintenance.
