Marvell Builds the Smarts Into Networked LEDs

LED lights, which are far more versatile than their incandescent and fluorescent cousins, also benefit far more from being connected into building-wide “smart” lighting networks. Think of controlling every light in the building to save energy by turning them off when people leave the room or dimming when daylight shines through the windows. Then, add data collection and analysis, on everything from which lights are starting to fail to which parts of the building are showing signs of energy waste or misuse, and the light fixture becomes the new node of an energy-smart building.
