Home lighting solutions are absolutely shit. Idk why nobody has invented anything better but there could be so much more light in our houses with modern tech.

I think the problem really is cost. Good lighting costs 1000s of dollars and it really hasn’t been accepted socially that a modern house needs that like it does a fancy kitchen or an ac unit.

Fundamentally lighting is a hardware business and hardware isn’t very profitable




Yes, with LED lighting we have entered a whole new world of lighting possibilities that I think designers, builders, manufacturers are just slowly opening their eyes to.

Forget your smart homes, lighting (even decorative) is where it is at.
