Smart lighting startup says LEDs could usher in much longer lamp warranties

Connected lighting — also called networked lighting — is getting a lot attention for its potential mega role in the Internet of Things (IoT), and now IoT startup Gooee has posited another reason to make lights intelligent: Users will be able to record exact usage time and lumen levels and thus demand much longer warranties from vendors. A typical warranty today spans five years for a lamp rated at 50,000 hours. But a user might take much longer to tap those 50,000 hours, possibly even 10 or 15 years, noted John Couch, vice president of connected devices at Gooee.
