Discover how affordable smart bulbs and next-gen Wi-Fi modules are powering the explosive growth of connected lighting—read Quectel's new white paper to see what’s driving 78% of demand by 2028
Smart lighting is a rapidly growing, high-volume market driven by the shift to energy-efficient LEDs and rising consumer demand for connected home solutions. With millions of luminaires, bulbs, sensors, and switches requiring connectivity, Wi-Fi has become the dominant technology due to its ubiquity in homes. As older LED installations reach end-of-life, secondary replacements are surging, expected to drive 78% of LED lighting demand by 2028. Affordable smart bulbs, some priced around $5, are easy to install and control via apps or voice commands, making them ideal for widespread adoption. To sustain this growth, compact, cost-effective, secure, and durable Wi-Fi modules are essential, enabling manufacturers to scale smart lighting without compromising on performance or user trust.
