In addition to an impressive line up of residential, commercial, infrastructure and custom LED applications, the Company displayed wirelessly controlled, intelligent luminaires; color tunable lights; advanced product design fixtures; camera motion detection luminaires; and an a bulb with integrated motion detection. 

The Company’s Definity Motion Activated PAR 30 is 80% more efficient than the 65-watt halogen lamp that it replaces and integrates both motion and ambient light sensing directly into the lamp eliminating the need for separate controls. User configuration options built into the bulb include time delay, dimming range, and motion and distance sensitivity.  Setting a new standard in advanced lighting control, the bulb won the top LIGHTFAIR International 2012 Innovation Judges Citation Award.  

I had never seen, nor even imagined a lamp with a built-in motion detector.

Lighting Science Group’s  J5 security light integrates video sensing with Wi-Fi operation and streams real time imaging to home computer or mobile devices making it ideal for commercial or residential applications.  The J5 incorporates the Company’s new PixelView video occupancy control system, which is also being shown directly integrated into many of Lighting Science Group’s other luminaires. Whereas typical exterior occupancy controls using PassiveInfrared (PIR) technology to detect motion can be severely compromised in hot or cold environments, the PixelView Occupancy Control system relies on image sensing and video processing. As such, the luminaire’s ability to detect and characterize motion is unaffected by ambient conditions.

I had never seen, nor even imagined a luminaire with a built-in Wi-Fi camera.

Earlier in the week, former Chairman of Philips Lighting Norh America, Kaj den Daas, joined their Board of Directors.  I have incorrectly thought of Lighting Science Group  only as a supplier of incandescent replacement lamps to the low-margin DIY channel.  Today, it is clear that there is much more to this company.
