# Light Balancing Stimuli 3.0 Lighting Reacts To Surrounding Light By Sandra Winn | Published 2008-09-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stimuli-30-lighting-system References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2008/09/04/mother-natures-got-nothin-on-this-light/) & [chrisnatt](http://www.chrisnatt.com/Stimuli3.0/Index.htm) Simply put, the **Stimuli 3.0 Lighting System**, by Chris Natt, is a [smart light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-varmblixt-smart-lights) that reacts when indoor and outdoor light meet—throughout any given time of the day. Natt describes the system as follows: “...light output sensitively varies inversely with the surrounding natural light intensity. For example, at dusk, illumination gradually increases as natural light recedes...” Though it may look it, the Stimuli 3.0 Lighting System is not the newest ultra-cool “must have” novelty item from *Spencer’s* or the latest “tecno-toy” available at the *Discover Store*. On the contrary, it isn’t even on the market as of yet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smart Lighting Systems:** The market for smart lighting systems that can adapt to surrounding natural light could see disruption with the introduction of Stimuli 3.0. - **Natural Light-sensitive Technology:** Increasing demand for natural light-sensitive lighting technology in homes and workplaces could be met by the innovative Stimuli 3.0 Lighting System. - **Integrated Home Automation:** The integration of Stimuli 3.0 with existing home automation systems and voice-activated assistants could revolutionize the way we control our home lighting. ### Where This Applies - **Lighting:** The lighting industry could see new growth opportunities with the development of natural light-sensitive lighting technology such as Stimuli 3.0. - **Smart Homes:** Stimuli 3.0's integration with home automation systems and voice-activated assistants presents new possibilities for the smart home industry. - **Workplace Illumination:** The introduction of Stimuli 3.0's natural light-sensitive technology could lead to disruptive innovation in workplace lighting and productivity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biology-First Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyview.md) - [Ambient Smart Lighting Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambient-smart-lighting.md) - [Sound-Sensitive LED Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-led-lamp.md) - [Biodynamic Workstation Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daylight-rhythm-task-light.md) - [Biocentric Lighting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biocentric-lighting-system.md) - [AI-Generated Lighting Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-lighting.md) - [Programmable Health-Focused Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bios-skyview.md) - [Dazzling Gradient Lighting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-bulb.md) - [Math-Driven Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alba-light.md)
