Smart street lighting market will continue to grow rapidly

On October 7, 2014, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that it would award the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics to two Japanese scientists Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano and Japanese-American scientist Shuji Nakamura for inventing a blue light-emitting diode (LED ), to help people obtain white light sources in a more energy-efficient way. The increasing use of LED lamps will not only save the world's energy, but also save manufacturing materials, and promote the development of related industries.

　　 According to the '2015-2020 China Smart Lighting Industry Development Prospects and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report' released by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, the global LED lighting market reached 35.49 billion U.S. dollars in 2013, an increase of 30% over 2012. When the luminous efficiency of LED components has increased, the price has dropped to close to that of traditional light sources, and the overall design of lighting lamps has become mature and gradually become the second choice for lighting, the penetration rate of LED lighting is expected to continue to increase. It is expected that the global LED lighting market will reach 479.12 in 2014. One hundred million U.S. dollars.

　　 With the continuous advancement of social technology, the rising demand for energy saving and environmental protection, the continuous use of LED lighting technology, and the development of Internet technology and various optical fiber cables, the smart street lighting industry has become the crown of the entire LED lighting. Will usher in the fastest development. Technology changes lives. From 2004 to August 2014, the number of patent applications with the keyword 'smart lighting' in my country was 623. Among them, the number of industry patent applications from 2011 to 2013 was more than 100, and it reached 198 in 2013, indicating that the development of my country's smart lighting industry technology is accelerating.

　　 The advancement of technology has changed the use of lighting methods. The advancement of smart technology and LED lighting technology allows our individual lighting needs to be met, whether it is smart home lighting or intelligent lighting of roads, bridges and tunnels. Light efficiency, energy saving and other fields meet our needs. In particular, the development of mobile Internet will enable lighting to be bright on demand, to adjust brightness on demand, and to change colors on demand. Lighting will become a part of our lives. In the future, we can illuminate wherever we need lighting, no matter Wherever you and I go, the darkness is always far away from us, and the light is always by your side.
