January 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1472r0 November 2017 LC should enable the lighting industry to continue to satisfy key requirements for lighting Proposal 1: The PAR/CSD should target to specify technologies to allow a homogeneous illumination of a room. In particular this means that it must allow light distributions from two or more light sources to have significant overlap in order to allow a homogenous illumination of minimum 500 lx on the surface Martin Siegel (Zumtobel Group) Edward Au (Huawei Technologies)

January 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1472r0 November 2017 LC should not breach existing regulation for health & safety and general device regulation Proposal 2: The PAR/CSD should target specifications which allow to meet all the legal & normative requirements for general illumination devices & components.

LC should complement existing RF technologies January 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1472r0 November 2017 LC should complement existing RF technologies Proposal 3: The PAR/CSD should target solutions which allow the formation of heterogeneous networks consisting of both LC and radio frequency based technologies.

LC should support digital dimming of the light source January 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1472r0 November 2017 LC should support digital dimming of the light source Proposal 4: The PAR/CSD should target specifications which allow dimming of the light sources ideally down to a limit of 1%, minimum to a level of 5% of nominal lx output.

LC devices should adhere to regulations for specialist areas January 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1472r0 November 2017 LC devices should adhere to regulations for specialist areas Proposal 5: The PAR/CSD should specifically meet the demands set on illumination for areas in which TV recordings take place.
