The smart street lighting market will usher in a big explosion in 2019

The general trend of smart street lighting is clear and the prospects are promising. Through Taiwan International Lighting Fair, Frankfurt Lighting Fair and this Guangzhou Lighting Fair, we can see that smart street lighting has become the focus of the industry. More and more companies are incorporating smart lighting applications and control systems into their lighting solutions to maintain the market. Competitive advantages. In the context of the rapid development of the Internet of Things, smart street lighting has reached the critical point of its outbreak. In the field of smart lamps, many manufacturers have introduced LED lamps that are dimmable or controlled wirelessly via Wifi. In terms of network protocols, Osram, Philips, Toshiba, GE, etc. have formally selected ZigBee technology to connect home lighting products and controllers, which has given birth to the emergence of smart lighting products using ZIGBee in the North American market. The smart bulb LIFX has received a new financing of 12 million US dollars, led by Sequoia, and will be used to expand the competition with Philips smart bulb Hue, which is also the first new hardware company that Sequoia has invested in recently. Smart street lighting will be a good opportunity for LED companies to get rid of the dilemma of low-level price competition in the future. The future will also be a key part of smart homes with a bright future.

　　 Smart street lighting is about to usher in a big explosion

　　 The so-called smart street lighting refers to a platform that uses advanced computers, embedded systems and network communication technologies to connect various light sources in the lighting circuit through the network for control. On the one hand, smart street lighting will allow users to have more convenient means to manage lighting equipment, for example, through infrared remote control, smart switch, sensor, telephone, Internet or voice recognition to control the lighting equipment, it can also perform scene operations, so that multiple Lamps and equipment form a linkage; on the other hand, the various lighting equipment in the intelligent street lighting system can communicate with each other, and can interact with each other according to different states without user command, thereby bringing users the greatest degree of efficiency, convenience, Comfort and safety. Compared with ordinary lighting, smart street lighting not only has traditional lighting functions, but also provides a comfortable, safe, high-grade and pleasant lighting environment; it also transforms from the original passive static structure to a tool with active intelligence, providing a full range of information interaction functions , To help the lighting system to maintain smooth communication with the outside, optimize people's lifestyles, help people effectively arrange time, enhance the modernization level of buildings, and even save money for various energy costs.

The core of 　　 smart street lighting system lies in smart sensing and on-demand lighting. It automatically adjusts to a dim state when there is no one, and intelligently lights up when there are people; it can also adjust the temperature of the light according to the ambient temperature, automatically adjust the indoor light environment, and realize 'on-demand lighting' to reduce light waste and create a good and comfortable indoor environment. In summer, the light source is automatically adjusted to a cool color to make people feel cool; in winter, the light source is automatically adjusted to a warm color to make people feel warm. In addition, LED lamps are naturally suitable for smart street lighting applications. The development of the smart street lighting industry in the future will greatly promote the increase in the penetration rate of LED lighting. LED has high efficiency, dimming ability, convenient remote control and long life, which can make dimmable lamps more efficient and more cost-effective. The application of LED lamps makes the deep dimming, programmable performance, spectrum control and environment integration of intelligent street lighting systems a reality.

　　 Smart street lighting will transform the LED lighting industry from a capital equipment model to a service model, increasing the added value of products. Smart street lighting requires additional control modules and apps, which increases the market space of manufacturers. Smart street lighting provides LED companies with a good entrance to mobile internet, and it is also an epoch-making opportunity. Smart street lighting will encourage traditional lighting companies to increase cooperation with mobile Internet companies. Lighting will become an indispensable part of the future Internet of Things. Various fields such as health care, energy, services, video, and communications will be connected and integrated, and the Internet of Things The development of, smart home, etc. will also give LED smart street lighting more room for development and innovation.
