It's very well that manufacturers are constantly pushing for more
efficient LEDs, but we can do better than that: what if we could have
an LED lighting system that pumps out just the right amount of juice
to suit our changing environment? That's exactly what the tree huggers
at MIT are working on right now. Said adaptive system relies on a
small box that not only acts as a position tracker, calibrator and
sensor for the dimmable overhead LED fixtures, but also lets the user
set the desired tone and light intensity for the room. In other words:
no matter how sunny or cloudy it is outside, you'll still be
comfortably basking in the same steady shine in your room, while also
saving up to 90 percent of energy. Our guess is that Philips -- the
project's sponsor -- will eventually release a product based on this
technology, but for now, you can see the system in action after the
break (from 1:07).
