Smart Lighting Market outlook, Future Scope, Demands and Projected Industry Growths to 2025 - Express Journal

During a recent webinar on the importance of indoor air quality in the times of covid-19, Liam Bates, founder of air quality monitoring and solutions company Kaiterra, summed up the current conundrum when it comes to air-conditioning systems. HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) is like a double-edged sword. It can be your best friend or it can be your worst enemy," Bates said. The key here is ventilation."

If your buildings HVAC unit takes the air from a room, cools it down or heats it up, and then mixes it with a little amount of outside air before redistributing it, that is not great news. If it follows the same process, but mixes a substantial amount of outside air and then passes the air flow through high-grade filters before redistribution, the risk of infection comes down.

A February 2019 paper published in the journal Scientific Reports used computer simulations and models to show how ventilation can make a huge difference in curbing aerosol transmission of a virus. Our model suggests that recommendation-abiding ventilation could be as effective in mitigating outbreaks as vaccinating approximately half of the population," the paper explains. While this study was focused on influenza, the same logic would apply to the novel coronavirus.

As humidity, temperature control and filtration come into focus, AC manufacturers are beginning to take the cue. Earlier this week, electronics company Samsung unveiled a new range of wind-free" ACs that come with a PM 1.0 filter, which uses an electrostatic charge to sterilize the air and capture ultra-fine particles down to 0.3 microns. Clean air solutions company Nirvana Being, among others, has introduced nanotech-based AC filters (made from electro spun nanofibres) that cost just 1,495 and can turn a split air-conditioner into an air sterilizer.

To understand how to move forward, it is key to understand how the air draft from air conditioners can help carry respiratory droplets. A paper published in the International Forum Of Allergy And Rhinology in July notes: In a room setting, particle emission from the mouth or nose is influenced by its initial velocity. A sneeze, for example, can generate an extremely high velocity initially (50 m/s), but it will quickly dissipate over a short distance (5 m/s after 0.6 meter), whereas talking generates a lower velocity at 3 m/s, with the initial airflow field likely dissipating completely within 1 meter from the mouth." While droplets with a larger diameter will fall to the surface quickly, the movement of an aerosol particle not large enough to settle will be governed by the indoor airflow as its initial velocity decreases.

The biggest problem in a closed office space is potential transmission through the airborne routeespecially when the AC is on," says Barun Aggarwal, CEO of indoor air quality solutions provider BreatheEasy Consultants. Aggarwal is part of a task force set up by the technical committee of the Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating & Air Conditioning Engineers (Ishrae), which came out with detailed guidelines on covid-19 and HVAC systems in April.

The guidelines include a greater focus on fresh air intaketo dilute indoor airand low level of air drafts. You dont want your air conditioner to be running on full blast. You want to reduce your fan speed," says Aggarwal.

In indoor settings, its suggested, you should try to maintain relative humidity at 40-60%. Upgrading filters can help too. We have technology today that can actually filter out the covid-19 virus particle from the air as long as it is done properly," says Aggarwal, who recommends using H13 grade filters. H13 is actually a Hepa, or high-efficiency particulate air, filter that is considered extremely efficienta 2016 study by US space agency Nasa says Hepa filters are nearly 100% efficient at capturing a spectrum of particles, down to the smallest airborne particles. Anybody who plans to open their offices, schools, theatres, malls or any other commercial establishment, before we have a vaccine that is scalable, needs to take these precautions," says Aggarwal.

Ventilation and AC systems in public transport like the Metro remain an area of concern. When Indian Railways restarted limited operations earlier this year, the roof-mounted AC package unit systems in its air-conditioned coaches were overhauled to allow more fresh air into the compartments. According to a Press Trust of India report, these units now replace the air inside coaches more than 16-18 times every hour, just as they would in a hospital operation theatre. News reports suggest a similar overhaul is expected in the HVAC systems of Metro coaches before the service resumes in parts of India from 7 September.

There are other technologies too. Research has shown that irradiation, or ultraviolet-C lighting, can help deactivate" pathogens. According to a McKinsey & Co. article published in July, HVAC systems can also incorporate ionic purifiers, ozone generators and other devices to clean the air.

For these systems to work, however, the air would have to be exposed to the sterilization process for a significant period of time. Ultraviolet-C lighting, for instance, needs a minimum exposure time of 1 minute to sterilize the air, so its difficult to use if there is a continuous flow of air.

Indoor Farming Market Increasing Investment is expected to boost Market Growth - The PRNews Pulse

Thinking about the long-term financial effects of work from home on commercial real estate owners is unsettling. But having employees return gradually to office buildings is actually good news for the operations teams. Fewer people means more space for social distancing and more time for full occupancywhatever that means for Americas corporations.

Organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers have issued new guidelines for building maintenance that are being implemented by property management teams to help keep office workers safe.

READ THE DIGEST

Theres a heightened focus on health and wellness right now due to the pandemic, but property managers, especially those who have been invested in sustainability, have been focused on a lot of this for a long time, observed Melanie Mayo-Rodgers, director of Facilities for the U.S. Green Building Council.

Rodgers manages the USGBC LEED Platinum headquarters. Its a learning laboratory and a facility to showcase all that LEED can beeven during a pandemicright down to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-approved cleaning products.

USGBC has responded to the pandemic with its stance that healthy people in healthy workplaces leads to a healthy economy, and, as part of that initiative, theyve introduced new Safety First pilot credits to support LEED projects with their reopening. According to Rodgers, the special pilot credits focus on managing indoor air quality, HVAC systems, building water system reconditioning and testing, cleaning and disinfecting workspaces, and employee reentry to the workplace.

Two of the best places to find return-to-work checklists online, Rodgers adds, are the CDC (Toolkit for Businesses & Workplaces) and OSHA (Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19). Resources are also available from Arc Skoru Inc., a technology company affiliated with Green Business Certification Inc. and USGBC. The Arc platform includes the Arc Re-entry Guide and the Arc Improvement Score.

With the slow return to the office, property managers and facility managers are tasked with preparing a space thats run on low occupancy, where the systems arent getting used as much. According to Rodgers, for HVAC, this means a complete building flush, changing filters and confirming filters are installed correctly so that the seal around them limits bypass air that could get by without being filtered.

You want to increase outdoor air ventilation to increase the air change rate and improve the central air and other HVAC filtration to at least a MERS 13 if possible, Rodgers explained. But you have to check to see whats compatible with your buildings equipment. You want to go for the highest-level filter thats achievable for your building system. You also want to monitor and maintain relative humidity levels between 40 percent and 60 percent.

Just as important is flushing all the water lines to prevent Legionella and other biomaterials that can manifest if there has not been regular clean water flushed through. The taps need to be run and water tested to ensure good quality.

Building operators have many questions about increasing their air filter MERV rating, reconfiguring workspaces, performing health checks and new cleaning processes, according to David Santo, segment head for smart mechanical services at Siemens.

There is no simple, one-size-fits-all answer. There just isnt, Santo said.

What is known, however, is that a buildings mechanical systems can play a role in a safer return-to-work strategy and help allay some of the fears many employees may have about emerging from stay-at-home/remote work arrangements. The goal, of course, is to reduce the health risks to employees and building occupants by reducing the spread of airborne and surface contaminants, Santo explained.

He notes that emerging research in this area is pretty clear: Viral spread is linked to the presence of fine particles and contaminants in a building. It does seem that viruses are spreading where those contaminants are more prevalent. As a result, it makes sense to find ways to help minimize viral spread by reducing the number of indoor contaminants.

Siemens is leveraging the buildings mechanical systems and a range of already available options like ultraviolet light technology and Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization. Filter MERV rating upgrades and advanced filtration (air scrubbers) are other great ways to treat the air as it flows through your building and ventilation systems, said Santo.

Key performance indicators can help monitor the quality of the indoor environment. These may include building differential pressure, fine particulate counts, room temperature and room humidity levels as compared to agreed-upon baselines, benchmarks or setpoints.

It is clear that a holistic approach toward infection prevention is essential because there is no single solution today that is 100 percent effective in removing all contaminants.

Right now, many companies are focused on increasing staffing to clean high-touch surfaces like elevator buttons and door pulls. Those chemicals have to be maintained as wet on the surface for a specific period of time (the dwell time is listed on the product labelling) in order for the disinfecting to occur, according to Marc Fischer, LEED Green Associate, BOMA fellow and president & CEO of InspiRE Commercial Real Estate Services. Fischer is also on the team at Crisis Collaborative, which provides multidisciplinary consultative solutions.

You can apply disinfectants, but you dont know if the space has been actually disinfected unless you do chemical sampling, adds Fischer. Another downside of traditional cleaning methods is that buttons and door pulls must be cleaned between every use and you must allow the chemical to run for the entire dwell time.

Decision-makers are exploring the benefits of electrostatic sprayer technology (which is not new at all) together with chemical products published on the EPA website that have been shown to be effective on COVID-19. These Quats (quaternary ammonium compounds) are potent disinfectant chemicals commonly found in disinfectant wipes, sprays and other household cleaners that are designed to kill germs.

When you spray in the room, it envelopes all of the materials, said Fischer, it goes on all the sides of the desks, the chairs, absolutely every surface in the room and it binds to the surfaces. It lasts for 30 daysunless you scrub it offwithout having to reapply.

Some products and techniques that have been used in medical office buildings and in hospitals are going to be brought to the office sector. Fischer expects well see elevator buttons and door handles made with Microban, a trademarked antimicrobial and built-in active ingredient that enables products to resist the growth of microbes. And while offices might not see the UV light robots that sanitize an operating room in between procedures during this pandemic, theres a spectrum of UV light called Far UVC in development that could be installed in the ceiling to provide sanitization throughout the day.

JLL has put together engineering protocols on how to properly operate the office building and has distributed these protocols to all of the JLL national property teams. Essentially, these include increasing outside fresh air, meeting or exceeding CDC and ASHRAE standards, recommissioning of building mechanical systems and following our water management plans, said William Schuch, JLL national engineering manager of property management. In addition, increased communications with tenants are key as we mitigate any potential risks of spreading airborne pathogens.

Reentry plans for tenant occupiers were developed and are customized specific to each building based on space type, square footage, occupancy, tenant needs and the type of building systems. JLL has created a reentry workbook for property managers and engineering staff that will guide them in such areas as education, engineering procedures, experience management, health screening, janitorial practices and more.

Due to JLLs global footprint, we were able to learn best practices from our global partners in Asia and Europe that handled the pandemic prior to our teams in the U.S., Schuch added. Some of the very first measures we put in place came from our counterparts in China.Specifically, understanding how the peak demand of visitors can be addressed in advance of reentry.

Even before the pandemic, Carbon Lighthouse was using its AI based software platform for clients like Madison Realty and the Moinian Group to drive deep data analytics into HVAC and lighting systems to uncover efficiency reserves. REITs and real estate investors that work with Carbon Lighthouse have been realizing increases in their building value at pretty much any stage in the asset life cycle by about $5 to $10 a square foot, according to Matt Ganser, executive vice president for Engineering and Technology at Carbon Lighthouse.

Now were advocating that buildings apply a smarter approach to mitigating COVID-19 versus throwing the kitchen sink at it, said Ganser. We think a lot of the measures that ASHRAE and CDC are putting out are very rational and they make sense, but they are fairly conservative and put the building at risk [financially] by spending money unnecessarily. The default is to try to follow ASHRAE and CDC. The smart play is to try to separate out how to deliver that same level of safety without the risk of rent inflating.

Perhaps a silver lining emerging from the current crisis is the deeper appreciation for the importance of indoor air quality. There has never been this much attention around ventilation probably since Willis Carrier and his invention of modern HVAC systems at the beginning of the 20th centuryand you see this not only from our clients but also from their tenants, said Ganser.

We know from our clients that their tenants are Googling HVAC guidelines and ASHRAE guidelines and CDC guidelines and coming to them and asking, Can you tell me what you guys are doing to provide a safe space? If you respond to that welland you dont phone it inthis can be a driver of retaining your tenants or potentially securing new leases in the future, so it doesnt have to be just a risk mitigation strategy it can be a strategy to maintain or even increase your revenue.

Design- Premium Aesthetics But Feels Slightly Heavy

I am glad Realme ditched the gradient finish style for the Realme 7-series and opted for a subtle solid color back panels. There is no glittery gradient pattern this time that reflects light with the slightest hand movements. Instead, you get minimal looking solid white and blue shades which look much more polished than all previous iterations of the Realme Number-Series' devices.

The back panel with frosted finish looks much premium and feels much better to touch than devices with glossy back panels. The new design is called AG Split design, as it divides the back panel into two parts. I wish the quad-lens camera module was placed inside the other half as the line cuts the camera setup at almost centre which looks a bit off from a clean geometric design point-of-view.

Nevertheless, the phone still makes a solid impression. Realme also claims that the Realme 7 is splash resistant. As per the brand, all of the phone's ports are sealed by a silicone protection layer which will offer required protection from water splashes. As for ergonomics, the phone feels bulky and heavy as it houses a massive 5,000mAh battery cell. I don't mind some weight if the phone lasts longer with heavy usage.

Overall, Realme has improved the design to a good extent. Available in two color variants- Mist White and Mist Blue, the Realme 7 is by far the most premium Realme Number-Series' smartphone, in fact, it looks way more premium than almost all sub-18K smartphones selling in the Indian market.

Realme always ensures all design basics are met and the same goes with the Realme 7. The smartphone comes equipped with a 3-slot SIM card tray which can be used to accommodate two 4G nano-SIM cards and a microSD card simultaneously. The phone has a Type-C charging port at the bottom along with a microphone, speaker unit and the conventional 3.5mm audio jack. The fingerprint scanner is placed on the right side due to the LCD panel's restriction of housing a biometric scanner underneath. I prefer the side-mounted biometric scanners as the thumb naturally lands on the spot to lock/unlock the screen.

Like its predecessor, the Realme 7 also sports an IPS LCD display with fluid 90Hz refresh rate and 120Hz sampling rate. It is a 1080p panel with 2400x1080P FHD+ resolution and a pixel density of PPI. As the screen comes in 20:9 aspect ratio, the Realme 7 offers a 90.5% screen-to-body ratio which is pretty good for a sub-20K smartphone. With the 90Hz refresh rate, the IPS LCD panel feels fluid and responsive. And the respectable pixel density makes text, pictures and graphics look crisp and sharp. Compared to the Realme 6, the Realme 7 seems to have a slightly better overall LCD panel.

The IPS LCD panel's color reproduction is good and videos and gameplay looks immersive. The screen works well for indoor usage and multimedia consumption as the 480nits brightness seems sufficient. However, the same cannot be said for outdoor use. The LCD screen seems reflective and loses visibility in direct sunlight as the peak brightness levels seem inadequate.

As far as screen protection is concerned, Realme has offered the dated Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection on the Realme 7 and the Realme 7 Pro. Notably, the competition has moved towards the much better Corning Gorilla Glass 5 even in the sub-15K price segment.

Similar to the Realme 6, the Realme 7 also boasts a quad-lens rear camera and a 16MP selfie camera. The rear camera's primary lens now works on the Sony IMX682 sensor instead of using the Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor. Sadly, there are no improvements in other remaining camera sensors. The company should have offered a better macro sensor or at least a higher resolution wide-angle camera for better landscape photography. Below are the camera specifications and software features.

Thanks to the Sony IMX 682 sensor, the 64MP primary lens captures crisp shots in daylight with better details than the 64MP camera setup on the predecessor. The 16MP pixel-binned images and the 64MP high-resolution shots show the impressive dynamic range and vibrant colors. Although the camera captures punchy colors in standard mode, you can also enable the Chroma Boost mode if you prefer more vivid and contrasted images that do not require post-processing. It does make pictures stand out but the results are highly edited and show unrealistic colors, cranked up contrast and excessive sharpness.

Some shots with Chroma Boost mode disabled also look unrealistically sharp. Realme should make some adjustments to the camera software as the current version is very harsh on colors, especially the Chroma Boost mode which boosts color saturation a bit too much resulting in artificial-looking shots. The 16MP selfie camera is a good performer and unlike the rear camera, the result is not marred by unrealistic colors or cranked up contrast and sharpness.

Similar to images, the videos also look crisp and show vibrant colors and good dynamic range. The video recording maxes at 4k 30fps which is impressive for a sub-18k smartphone. The camera supports software-backed stabilization which now also works with the 8MP wide-angle lens and it is called Ultra Steady Max'. The results are satisfactory based on the phone's price but this phone is best used for video recording with a gimbal.

Moving on, the camera's autofocus is snappy and quickly locks the subject. You can also enable AI Scene recognition which quickly makes adjustments according to the scene to improve the overall picture output. The HDR also works well on the Realme 7 and captures good details in bright and dark areas. The camera app is loaded with various filters and modes to help you make the most out of smartphone photography. Overall, if there's ample amount of light, the Realme 7 will impress you with its picture abilities.

The Realme 7 uses a 2MP B&W depth sensor with f/2.4 aperture to create bokeh. Despite a low 2MP sensor, the smartphone captures pleasing portraits. The edge-detection is on point if you have maintained the required distance from the subject. I liked the fact that the Realme 7 can create a bokeh effect if the subject is placed very far. Yes, the edge detection takes a hit but the overall miniature effect looks pretty cool.

The Realme 7 captures decent wide-angle shots. The 8MP wide-angle camera captures a good field-of-view and takes good landscape shots in favorable lighting. The detailing takes a hit in low-light and the distortion is also very much visible if you capture images in 4:3 aspect ratio. Shoot in full-screen aspect ratio for better results.

The 2MP macro sensor only produces decent results when the light is in abundance. The results are just not at all usable in indoor lighting. Its high-time Realme gets away with the minuscule 2MP macro sensors and start offering at least 5MP macro sensors or create a triple-lens camera system with 5MP depth sensor instead of offering an additional but underwhelming 2MP macro sensor.

The dedicated night mode brings out good details in darker areas but noise also becomes evident in poor lighting situations. If there's some lighting in the frame, the Realme 7's night mode can yield impressive results. The camera app now also offers Starry Mode' which is essentially a 5-minute long-exposure shot to bring out adequate details win the frame that's usually not captured with standard night modes.

The Realme 7 has the newly launched MediaTek Helio G95 SoC at its heart. The game-centric chipset is the successor to the well-received G90T which powered the Realme 6 and the Redmi Note 8 Pro. Similar to the G90T, the G95 is also designed on the 12nm fabrication process and incorporates a pair of Arm Cortex-A76 cores operating at up to 2.05GHz and six Cortex-A55 power-efficient cores clocked at 2.0GHz. The improvements come in the form of higher clock speeds of the ARM Mali-G76 MC4 GPU which now operates at 900 MHz instead of the 800MHz in the MTK Helio G90T. The CPU is paired with 6GB and 8GB LPDDR4x dual-channel RAM and 64GB/128GB UFS 2.1 storage. On the software side, the Realme 7 runs on Realme UI V1.0 based on Android 10.

The 8GB/128GB variant performed well in the day-to-day routine. The 90Hz refresh rate screen combined with snappy chipset and well-optimized Realme UI makes the overall user-experience smooth and responsive. The side-mounted fingerprint scanner unlocks the phone in a jiffy and the software backed face-unlock also works well. The 8GB RAM ensured lag-free multitasking on the Realme 7 and the phone can also handle heavy-duty tasks without any performance issues.

We also played major game titles to gauge the gaming performance of the new chipset. As expected, the PUBG defaulted to High settings with the frame rate set to High and game-graphics set to HD. The gameplay was smooth and mostly free of frame drops and lags. The phone did get warm after 20 to 25 minutes of continuous gameplay which is pretty normal. Other popular game titles like Dead Trigger 2, Brawlhala and Hitman Sniper ran without any glitches.

We also ran some benchmarks to test the MTK G95's synthetic scores. The Realme 7 scored 9,911 in PC Mark's Work 2.0 Performance test and recorded 527 in GeekBench's Single-core and 1,684 in the Multi-core test. The number varies ever so slightly in comparison to test results achieved on the MediaTek G90T.

With a big 5,000 mAh battery cell, the Realme 7 can easily last for one full day with moderate to heavy usage. If you are always hooked to your smartphone screen for media consumption and also play games on a stretch, you would need an extra refuel at the end of the day with the Realme 7. The smartphone draws power from a 30W Dart Charger (included in the box) that's capable of refueling the battery unit from flat to 100% in about 73 minutes. This is much better overall battery performance than the Realme 6 which is powered by a 4,300 mAh battery cell.

As far as connectivity is concerned, the Realme 7 comes equipped with a Type-C charging port and 3-card slot (2 SIM Slot + 1 MicroSD Slot). You can expand the built-in memory to up to 256GB. The handset supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi network and offers Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. Besides, you also get the standard connectivity features like GPS, AGPS and GLONASS.

Summarizing the review, the Realme 7 comes across as a decent overall upgrade over the Realme 6. The most notable changes come in the form of design and battery performance. The camera performance has also improved to some extent but is mostly limited to the primary sensor's image/video output and low-light results. The brand should also work towards improving macro and wide-angle photography experience by upgrading the hardware. The 90Hz refresh rate LCD panel offers fluid performance but the panel itself lacks good peak brightness resulting in an underwhelming experience outdoors.

Moving on, the hardware and gaming performance hasn't received any major boost but the overall performance remains very satisfactory. The new MediaTek G95 SoC offers impressive performance in all day-to-day routine and also makes the Realme 7 a good budget gaming handset.

Overall, the Realme 7 is a great value for a money mid-range smartphone, especially the entry-level variant. At Rs. 14,999, the smartphone offers 6GB RAM/64GB built-in memory with dedicated microSD card support, 64MP Sony IMX682 sensor, 90Hz refresh rate screen and a big 5,000mAh battery with 30W fast-charger support.

On the Market: Sleek midcentury modern home with pond views

WESTON Contemporary architecture is ever changing within contemporary times whereas midcentury modernism is defined as a particular style relating to the early-to-mid 20th century.

The gray custom-built contemporary house at 75 Birch Hill Road takes influences from mid-century modern architecture, such as its relationship to the natural setting in which it is nestled. This house was built in 1968, about three years after the end of midcentury modern period, yet it dovetails perfectly into the 21st century way of life. And just as iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright set his mid-century modern masterpieces near water features, this property also contains a pond.

The sleek, sophisticated, light and bright house is set back from the road in the heart of Weston on a level and lightly wooded property of just over two acres looking as much like a contemporary sculpture as like a residence. Honoring its private setting located on a cul-de-sac, this house invites indoor-outdoor living. It features a large wrap-around raised deck with a stainless steel cable railing and curved stairway to lower patio perfect places for al fresco dining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the view, and a second smaller deck/covered front porch.

The only thing missing from the serenity is an OLED. (Photo credit: Image by Steve Adcock via Pixabay; used under free license for commercial or non-commercial purposes.)

OLED proponents have long struggled to make substantial inroads into the lighting market, but they continue to push, and to identify new segments where the technology could be just right. The latest example: OLEDWorks wants to outfit recreational vehicles yes, RVs with the technologys soft and sleek illumination.

Its a market that excites the Rochester, NY-based company with growth potential, because as director of user experience Kathleen Vaeth noted in a recent blog post, RV sales are on the rise as people rethink their vacations in the era of social distancing and international travel restrictions, and start heading to national parks and the like.

On top of that, thin and flexible OLEDs are simpatico with modern RV interior design which Vaeth notes, has come on in leaps and bounds.

First, our obligatory, quick refresher: OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes) are different from LEDs in that OLEDs are a thin material that entirely lights up in response to an electric charge, whereas LEDs are single light points. Invented at Rochester-based Eastman Kodak in 1987 (OLEDWorks was founded 10 years ago by former Kodak scientists), OLEDs have long failed to live up to the expectation that they will revolutionize lighting by literally weaving into the fabric of everything from lamps and fixtures to ceilings, walls, furniture, fashion, building faades, you name it. One problem is that the design of LED fixtures continues to improve; and OLEDs have trailed LEDs in energy efficiency.

But OLEDs are declining in price, improving in efficiency and slowly creeping into general illumination.

They are also finding specialty, niche, and architectural design uses. OLEDWorks will be supplying tail lights to Audi, for example.

RVs could be next, if OLEDWorks has its way. The company certainly thinks theres a big need.

The interior design has progressed significantly in recent years, allowing travelers to bring the comforts of home along with them, waxes Vaeth. High-quality cabinets, quartz countertops and spacious kitchens, leather seating, flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, solar power, and Wi-Fi connectivity are common features in todays models. But what about comfortable lighting?

Of course, she has the answer: The artificial lighting in these units have not progressed as much by comparison. At OLEDWorks, we think that this is the next frontier for designers to address and continue the revolution of the indoor RV space.

Vaeth points out that OLEDs, with their slim profile, fit the tight spaces of an RV, and also reduce overall vehicle weight, which reduces fuel consumption.

OLED lighting panels, measuring 1.4 millimeters in thickness and weighing less than 40 grams, offer an ultracompact and lightweight form factor that opens up the possibility of easily integrating lighting on horizontal and vertical surfaces, or in compact locations such as under cabinets and in drawers, she notes.

The thinness provides an aesthetic complemented by a mirror finish in the off state that can be used to accent the space, or blend into the background, Vaeth adds. She also trots out an attribute that OLED supporters often ascribe to the technology: The light is soft, diffuse, and glare free. Likewise, she notes that OLEDWorks thin panels avoid the blue spectrum that can undermine sleep when used at night, and that it avoids ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths which can be damaging.

This makes OLEDs compatible with lighting trends emphasizing lighting design for sustainability and human health, she notes.

Vaeths blog noticeably does not identify any signed-up RV customers. As OLED vendors hit the RV highway in search of deals, they will undoubtedly run into LED competitors, who offer many similar benefits, with LEDs probably still maintaining an edge in efficiency and in longevity. OLEDs might just have the leg up in design advantages, especially considering the space restrictions of an RV.

Describing the state of RV lighting today with technologies including incandescent, compact fluorescent, and LEDs, Vaeth notes, Most fixtures are small and compact but tend to be integrated into ceilings as recessed lighting or circular flush-mounted fixtures with push button switches. Specialized fixtures integrated for closer, more flexible illumination in spaces such sleeping areas can often be overly bright, or too dim. This can make for an illumination experience, even in the most state-of-the-art models, that is uneven with sharp contrast and shadows, and high in glare, which can cause discomfort and eye strain.

To paraphrase Vaeth, theres nothing like an OLED to take care of those shortcomings.

Wi-Fi. Quartz countertops. Flat-screen TVs. OLEDs. Ah, the great outdoors.
