Performance and design freedom are advancing organic light‐emitting diode (OLED) lighting, providing differentiation from general lighting to transportation and more. OLED is the first naturally diffuse lighting, with pure qualities highly prized by designers. Razor thin with superb color characteristics and uniformity, OLED offers an alternative to high‐glare lighting sources and allows a variety of innovative applications and attractive designs.

This paper presents a precise lighting controller which can concurrently adjust and display the real-time illuminance of a working platform for solitary ocular comfort. It gives the user the provision to select the right amount of lux for a particular task by knowing illumination as endorsed by IES, which is supposed to receive on the desired working plane or area. The above mentioned controller provides a high degree of certainty for delivering energy savings without compromising ocular comfort. Besides, it can be considered as one of the rationales for the Demand-Side Management lighting technique. This idea is accomplished by integrating a microcontroller prototyping platform with three separate modules namely the controlling module, sensing & displaying module, and power supply module. Appropriate codes for the microcontroller were written, compiled, and uploaded by verifying through simulation. Finally, hardware implementation was done successfully and energy-saving prospects were analyzed.

“…1), like, for example, communication routes A, storage zones B or production zones C. Due to the large dimensions of the building, lighting it in accordance with the guidelines of the standard requires the deployment of a large amount of lighting equipment with relatively high power, which is associated with significant investment and operating costs (energy consumption), which is not neutral for the environment. Due to the growing demand for electricity, and hence, the growing amount of pollution that gets into the environment as a result of energy production based on fossil fuels, there is a great pressure on the use of energy-saving technologies in all branches of the economy, also in lighting [4,14]. The reduction of operating costs is influenced by many factors, such as: the degree of use of daylight for lighting of halls, the use of luminaires with energy-saving sources and regulation of the luminous flux [3], and the use of adaptive lighting systems [2,12,13].…”

Industrial facilities such as production and storage halls are a specific environment, which is usually characterized by a large usable area, which is managed in a way that brings together in the given area many functional zones for various purposes. Frequent changes in the management of industrial halls gives a need to change the lighting method. In such a situation, a lighting solution that enables the photometric characteristics of the luminaires to be adapted to variable development of the facility, covering not only the quantitative regulation of the luminous flux, but also the direction of its radiation into the environment, can be a helpful solution. The article presents an innovative concept of a luminaire, which makes it possible to change the light distribution without the need to replace optical elements. Simulation tests were carried out for the developed luminaire in order to check the possibility of obtaining the assumed distribution and shapes of light spots on the working plane. Thanks to the application of this solution in an environment where there is a need for frequent changes in the development of usable space requiring changes in lighting conditions, it is possible to dynamically adjust the characteristics of the installed system to new environmental conditions.
