LED Lighting

The main motivation for this project is to explore the feasibility and practicality of an LED lighting system in The Home Depot Smart Home. Since it is a goal of the project to design systems that will be commonly used in households of the future, another goal is to try to forecast how this technology will evolve, and so emphasis is placed on the future potential as well as the current limitations. One way of determining whether or not LED light systems are useful is through the rigorous review of academic and industry research. Therefore, this report comprises of summaries of current state of the art research. In addition, a prototype LED desk lamp was built using industry leading LEDs to tangibly observe its potential.
