One of the most important factors regarding business growth is time management, this is applied in all aspects, but can it be applied in the lighting field? According to the Occupational Health and Safety Act: Act 95 of 1993, emergency lighting must be provided in any workplace where there is an absence of natural light, and that these emergency units are systematically inspected once in at least 3 months.

This can hinder productivity while performing these tests due to its time-consuming nature, as well as dangerous if not abided. Consider a business in an office block that has 60 light fittings installed. Every 3 months the legal requirement states that every one of those fittings must be left in emergency mode for the full duration, and all results must be recorded regarding the functionality of each fitting. This leads to massive amounts of time wasted watching and waiting for the batteries to drain, which could take up to 4 hours on some units. Smart Products are the answer to the previously mentioned inconvenience and a solution to increase time management.
