🚀 Is AC power becoming obsolete?

In this episode of the Lighting Controls Podcast, entrepreneur & engineer Bolis Ibrahim breaks down a massive shift happening in buildings: the move from AC to DC power.

⚡ Key takeaways:

  • Most modern devices (LEDs, laptops, EVs, solar) already run on DC

  • Today’s buildings waste energy constantly converting AC → DC

  • DC systems can eliminate bulky drivers, reduce failures, and cut inefficiencies

  • New wiring methods = less copper, less conduit, lower costs

  • Emerging standards (like USB-C power) are pushing DC adoption even further

  • The future? Hybrid buildings now → fully DC-powered later

💡 Bottom line: We’re potentially witnessing a transformation as big as Tesla vs Edison… again.
