As the internet of things becomes more widespread, and devices with connectivity become more accessible, lighting will change drastically. Electrical current will be transmitted wirelessly over the internet, so that you’ll be able to switch your light on from across the world. Rather than plug-in lights and lamps, expect to see systems that use WiFi and Bluetooth to communicate wirelessly with devices around your home. This will allow you to create customized moods in different rooms throughout your abode. Even now, some open sign light come equipped with sensors and motion detectors which can respond to voice commands or physical input like a push button or hand wave from across the room.
Avant-garde lighting designer Arne Jacobsen built his own micro lighting system in the 1950s which featured a touch-sensitive switch to control the light. His mix of Danish modernism and art deco design for lamps made him one of the most influential lights designers of his generation.
Don’t be surprised if you see light bulbs that glow from beneath, or up above. According to Philips Lighting, there are still relatively few wireless lights on the market because they require a ‘bridge’ device which communicates with your WiFi router.
LEDs will be used to illuminate not only ceiling lights, lamps and table lamps but also wearable technologies like fitness devices and sportswear.
Ceiling lights, table lamps and wall lights might have a variety of shape options from circular to square or rectangular, just like the design of furniture made from wood or plastic.
Shelves will glow in different colors as we choose them according to our mood or activity.
Just like how you can control your phone or music player wirelessly, a smart light will be able to make changes in your home environment according to the information on your phone. LEDs could be controlled and dimmed directly by an app on your smartphone or via voice recognition software in future.
LEDs could be embedded into the surface of your bath or sink to create an illuminated platform or wavy effect, which looks just like a fountain of light. LEDs won’t just shine downwards, but there’ll be designs which are curved like a bow, long and narrow like a pencil or short and stubby.
LEDs will start to interact with our appliances and devices such as lighting, fans, switches and security systems. The lights could detect temperature changes and turn on automatically when we’re home or turn off when we leave so that they don’t waste energy when we’re not using them.
LEDs could detect when we walk through the door and switch on a welcome light or lead the way to the living room. They could even be used for mood lighting with sensors to detect our activity, turning up or down the brightness of the light depending on whether we’re relaxing or revising. In future, you may be able to design your own light bulb in a 3D printer, or even have a custom light bulb made by a professional artist or a specialty filament manufacturer.
You can control the level of light you receive with a system that is installed in your ceiling or wall and which adjusts the light’s intensity to match the situation. Similarly, lighting systems would also come with a remote control that can be used to adjust the brightness and mood of the room from across the world.
Some bulbs will be energy-efficient, such as LED light bulbs which operate at only 20 percent of the power of fluorescent lights. To reduce energy costs in homes, many companies will come out with bulbs that transform themselves into a light bulb as they run and switch off automatically when they are not in use.
With all these developments, more and more designers are taking to building and selling DIY lighting kits.

You can expect to change the bulb’s color in real-time as well as adjust various brightness levels.
