March 13, 2018—New York—Today at LEDucation, LumEfficient introduced their LiFi by Lucibel down light featuring a new type of wireless Internet. LiFi enables users to surf the Internet exponentially faster than standard Wi-Fi and the connection is substantially more secure.
LiFi uses light to transmit Internet signals instead of slower, more vulnerable radio signals used by standard Wi-Fi. LumEfficient’s LiFi technology enables the deployment of a full wireless network through a bidirectional line rate up to 42 Mbps, offering high-speed mobile connectivity within a network while supporting multiple access points.
Randy Reid, President of LumEfficient, said, “We are excited to be the first company to introduce LiFi at a major U.S. lighting exhibition. Although the technology is still in its infancy, the opportunities are limitless.”
LiFi adds a significant layer of security as compared to vulnerable WiFi. A skilled hacker could tap into a Wi-Fi-connected network within a building just by being in the vicinity. However, with LiFi that hacker would have to be inside the building under a LiFi-enabled light.
Today, mobile devices are built with cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity options and most users choose Wi-Fi when available. Reid envisions a time in the not too distant future when LiFi will be the third built-in choice and users will prefer the speed and security of LiFi over Wi-Fi and Cellular.
At LEDucation, LumEfficient demonstrated LiFi in a 35-watt fixed LED down light at 4000K and a CRI of 80. Reid stated he plans to launch LiFi in industrial grade fixtures later this year.
