L2M – Artificial Intelligence Enabled LED Lighting

Cities and lighting companies currently spend weeks and tens of thousands of dollars to create new plastic lenses every time a different streetlight beam is needed or when light pollution must be reduced. Our design is a simple film that sticks to the front of an LED and updates the light patterns quickly—no new lens required, and no delays. We have developed software powered by artificial intelligence that converts any desired beam shape into a printable pattern on this thin film. Once printed, the film is stick to the LED to produce the exact light distribution required. The film weighs less than a paperclip, and can be manufactured in just a few hours. The global exterior LED lighting market is valued at approximately CAD$19? billion. Capturing even 1% of that market represents a CAD?$190? million opportunity. Through Lab2Market, we will identify our initial customer segment—municipalities, stadium operators, or signage companies.
