Connected LED Lighting Solution Paul Golata, Mouser Electronics Additionally, TE is leading the way in providing connected LED lighting solutions: on the roads where we drive, in the offices we work, in the homes where we live, and on the farms where we grow and harvest our food. The need for electronic devices to be connected has never been greater. Entire systems of "smart" interconnected systems of lighting are communicating with each other and working in harmonious synchronicity. In this eBook, TE reveals how, in cooperation with LED suppliers such as Lumileds, a whole new world of lighting is being realized. Inside these pages, TE has focused on two different primary applications. The first is street and roadway lighting. TE is visibly changing how people see and navigate down the byways we travel. TE then closes this eBook by looking at the art of garden cultivation and management by way of horticulture lighting. TE is the source to provide design engineers with the Connected LED Lighting Solutions of tomorrow. ■
