The buzz: “I’ll never get over the fact that the buildings all light up at night….” (Alex Dimitrov, “American Boys” 2012 chapbook). How can we brighten the lives of increasingly dense populations, given projections that 70+% of the world will live in cities by 2050? Energy-efficient LED lighting. How? It's already transforming urban lighting infrastructures into pathways that collect and share data and insights that are driving the smart city. Connected lighting also can be a backbone for IoT functionality. See? The experts speak. Susanne Seitinger, Philips Lighting: “At night the buildings must sleep” (Alvar Aalto). Matthias Weis, SM!GHT: “If you want something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've never done” (Thomas Jefferson). Marlyn Zelkowitz, SAP: “We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light” (Plato). Join us for You Light Up My Life: Smart Cities, Smart Lighting – Part 2.
