Digital Lumens Brings the ‘Internet of Lights’ to More Than 100 Million Square Feet of Space

Digital Lumens announced today that it has brought the Internet of Lights to more than 100 million square feet (10 million square meters) of space across more than 1,000 large-scale commercial and industrial facilities worldwide. In the Internet of Lights, a lighting-based category within the Internet of Things, every intelligent LED fixture is wirelessly networked and gathers sensor and meter data that is used for ongoing operational optimization.

“Sincerest thanks to our customers and partners in helping us reach this major adoption milestone”

“Sincerest thanks to our customers and partners in helping us reach this major adoption milestone,” said Tom Pincince, President and CEO of Digital Lumens. “Our Intelligent Lighting System – which generates tremendous amounts of actionable building data – is helping our customers optimize numerous aspects of their operations, from staffing and inventory management, to equipment utilization and facility-wide energy management."

“As ubiquitous devices in the built environment, lighting is the most practical and cost-effective vehicle for the Internet of Things,” said Brian Chemel, CTO and Co-founder of Digital Lumens. “Across the spectrum of IoT devices, intelligent lights actually pay for themselves with massive energy savings, while delivering a broad range of other building management capabilities.”

With 100 million square feet covered in 2013 – double the footprint of the previous year – Digital Lumens has secured greater than 50% market share in the intelligent LED lighting market. Worldwide deployments of the Intelligent Lighting Systems are saving customers $50 million in annual lighting costs, and more than 500m kWh in annual energy consumption.

2013 Highlights


In addition to helping customers reduce energy intensity and meet sustainability goals in manufacturing and distribution facilities, in 2013 Digital Lumens:
