Systems & Applications This issue of LED professional Review (LpR) is dedicated to Systems & Applications, because it’s associated with the Light+Building in Frankfurt, the world’s largest lighting exhibition covering new lighting systems and its applications. Dee Denteneer, the newly elected secretary general from the Zhaga Consortium, covers the topic of smart lighting in his commentary. The newest Zhaga specification, which is still at the proposal stage, continues a trend towards interchangeability, and is directly related to smart lighting. It will enable interchangeability of sensing/ communication modules that are used to control LED luminaires for outdoor lighting applications. Dr. Walter Werner has commented on the Light Flicker article in LpR 53. He refers to the Wilkins, Pawan and Lindner idea that there is more flicker than is visible to the eye and comes to conclusions that are worthy of more discussion and possibly research in this area. The Tech Talk BREGENZ with Karl Jónsson touches on the world of IoT in lighting. Mr. Jónsson is an IoT system architect who points out how IoT and smart lighting could be a part of future lighting systems for things like remote monitoring, space management or Li-Fi controlled systems. Another important technology for connectivity is Bluetooth 4.0. Saara Guastella from Casambi writes about Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology and compares it to other established communication technologies for smart lighting. The fact that BLE is integrated into smart phones and tablets makes it a very cost-effective wireless technology. Giovanna Frezza from Molex discusses Power over Ethernet (PoE) for commercial buildings. In the future PoE may allow for up to 95W of power to be transmitted. This would dramatically change lighting installation system architectures. Further articles in this issue include "Safety Concept for LED Street Lighting“, "Illuminating Education“ and "The Value of Dark Skies“. The developments and creation of future lighting systems require an overview and understanding of the environment, the applications, the technologies and, last but not least, the needs of human beings. We are looking forward to what the Light + Building in Frankfurt will reveal this year. The LED professional team would be happy to meet with you in Frankfurt to talk about future trends. We will be in Hall 4.1 at Booth B11. Yours Sincerely,
Siegfried Luger
