Lighting Technology

The University of Nottingham is a world-class university ranked in the UK and European top 30 and features in the top one per cent of all universities worldwide. It has four UK campuses in and around Nottingham that together with those in Malaysia and China host in excess of 43,000 students.  

Having lighting as part of the “Internet of Things” is allowing light to be integrated into our lives in totally new ways, says Mike Simpson, Technical and Design Director, Philips UK and Ireland. According to Simpson, the future is limited only by our imaginations. The digital age of lighting and the magic of the Internet have combined to create a whole new world of possibilities. LEDs have created an era of controllability that goes much further than just dimming, changing colour temperatures or the use of colour. Lighting can now alter how people view their surroundings in completely new ways and in some situations even act as a communication tool.
