The 'smart' battle for LED lighting is still a difficult road ahead

Since the intelligent lighting industry entered the Chinese market in the 1990s S, it has been developing slowly due to the restrictions of market consumption awareness, market environment, product price, promotion and other aspects. One of the advantages of LED products for home lighting is to create a comfortable and energy-saving lighting environment through intelligent control. LED determines its future intelligent lighting direction with its light source characteristics. Dr. Xu Chen, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Standardization, said that 3- Five years later, when the LED lighting effect reaches the use limit, the energy-saving effect will no longer be the final interest appeal point of LED lighting. In the future, LED lighting competition will be more reflected in the demand for intelligence. In recent years, many international first-line lighting brand enterprises have begun to lay out intelligent control fields such as sensing, communication and multimedia. As early as the first half of 2011, Philips Lighting has cooperated with Bayer to join the ecological business building plan. Through cross-disciplinary cooperation, the program provides comprehensive service and material solutions for decision makers in the construction industry in the construction of public and commercial sustainable buildings. At the same time, Osram also acquired Encelium Technologies last year ( This company has a cutting-edge commercial building lighting control software system), Aiming at LED lighting control solutions. At present, although some domestic enterprises have introduced intelligent lighting products, most of them only stay in simple dimming and color mixing. In fact, the concept of intelligent lighting goes far beyond this. Xu Chen said that there are two main concepts of intelligent lighting: one is to change the light through sensing, so that the light can adapt to people; The second is to use light as the transmission medium and people as the receiver. Intelligent lighting not only changes the illuminant, but also integrates various modern technologies such as communication, sensing, cloud computing, Internet of Things, etc. to achieve the effect that light is not only light. The market is chaotic. At present, the intelligent lighting products in the market mainly use the control function of the driving power supply to achieve the intelligent effect. The technology itself is not difficult. At the same time, the demand for LED intelligent lighting in the domestic market is not high. High-tech LED Industry Research Institute (GLII) Survey data show that the penetration rate of intelligent LED lighting in China is less than 2 at present, and the application of products is mainly reflected in dimmable LED landscape lamps, adjustable color temperature LED street lamps and their monitoring.
