Inside Lighting

A new white paper from Parks Associates, developed in partnership with Schneider Electric, highlights consumer behavior around managing energy use with smart home devices — including smart lighting.

According to survey data presented in the report, 54% of smart lighting owners are willing to adjust their lighting during peak energy periods themselves, while just 29% would allow a utility or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to do so remotely.

The data suggests that lighting remains a uniquely personal and manual domain, with device owners expressing greater comfort managing lighting themselves than relinquishing control to outside entities.
