Abstract
This paper proposes a low cost, wireless, easy to install, adaptable smart LED lighting system to automatically adjust the light intensity of LED panels to save energy and to maintain user satisfaction. The wireless control system is based on ZigBee communication and combines a light sensor with a motion sensor to perform an energy saving algorithm. Measurements of total energy consumption over a continuous six-month period were acquired to verify the performance and evaluate the benefits in terms of power savings of the proposed solution. In the monitored application scenario, the total energy consumption has been reduced by over 60 % during a six-month period and up to 70 % in spring months.
