LED lighting to the future needs of competition embodied in wisdom

Since 90s last year, the wisdom of the lighting industry to enter the Chinese market, subject to market awareness of consumption, market environment, product prices, and other aspects of the promotion efforts, has been in a slow development trend.

One of the unique advantages of LED products for home lighting is to create a comfortable and energy-efficient lighting environment through intelligent control. "LED with its light source characteristics determine its future direction of intelligent lighting. Xu Chen, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Institute of standardization, said Dr. LED, 3-5 years later, when the LED light efficiency reached the limit, the effect of energy saving is no longer the final appeal of the interests of lighting. Future LED lighting competition is reflected in the wisdom of the demand.

In recent years, many international lighting brand companies have begun to layout sensing, communications, multimedia and other intelligent control areas. As early as the first half of 2011, PHILPS lighting has joined Bayer to join the eco business building plan. Through cross - domain cooperation, the program provides a comprehensive service and material solution for the construction industry decision makers in the construction of public and commercial sustainable buildings. At the same time, OSRAM also last year, through the acquisition of EncELium Technology (the company has sophisticated commercial building lighting control software system), targeting LED lighting control solutions. At present, although there are some companies in the mainland launched a smart lighting products, but most of them only stay in a simple dimming color. In fact, the concept of intelligent lighting is far more than this.

LED lighting to the future needs of competition embodied in wisdom

Xu Chen said, there are two main concepts of intelligent lighting: first, through the sensor to change the light, so that light to adapt to people; the two is based on the light as the transmission medium, as an acceptable body. Intelligent lighting is not only to change the luminous body, but the communication, sensing, cloud computing, networking and other modern technologies into which the light is not just the effect of light.

Currently on the market, intelligent lighting products mainly through the use of power supply control functions to achieve the desired effect, the technology itself is not difficult. Meanwhile, the Chinese market demand for LED smart lighting is not high. High institutional research data show that the current wisdom of the mainland LED lighting penetration is less than 2%, and the product is mainly reflected in the application of adjustable light LED landscape lights, adjustable temperature and other aspects of the LED street lamp monitoring.

At present, the mainland enterprises on the study of intelligent lighting, mainly in the LED adjustable light toning lighting products, truly systematic LED intelligent lighting manufacturers rarely. Zhang Longxin said, at present, LED lighting companies understand for the wisdom of the concept is not thorough, mainland enterprises are blind pursuit of wisdom, focusing on the immediate interests; and on the wisdom of understanding, mainly from the coordination of people and the environment as the starting point.

Energy saving and environmental protection, but the market is no lack of followers. In this regard, some industry insiders have their own views: one is because wisdom is the inevitable trend of the development of the market, on the other hand, currently on the market called intelligent lighting products technology cost is not high, but the profit is not low.

Research data show that a smart control function of the LED driver power supply costs not more than 5 yuan, with the power supply of the lighting factory price is higher than the ordinary lamps 20%-30%. Insiders calculate an account, only one of these intelligent configuration can be given to the lamp at least 20% of gross profit, and some high-end adjustable light products can reach more than 30%.

At present, the layout of the mainland is the main business of intelligent lighting LED lighting companies. Shenzhen City, the main market for poly Industrial Co., Ltd., its 2011 sales of intelligent lighting products have accounted for nearly 30% of total sales. Xiao Ling, general manager of the company said that the current smart lighting (automatic induction, dimming color) as a high-end products in the Japanese market has been more common.

In R & D investment, these companies are spared no effort. Among them, KingSun 2011 R & D investment in LED intelligent street lamp and key technology of power supply projects totaled 7 million 650 thousand, accounted for 51.69% of the total R & D investment. According to the plan, in 2012, the company will invest 11 million 300 thousand yuan in new R & D. In the 15 revenue scale of LED lighting companies, there are 12 related research and development costs accounted for more than 30% of total R & D costs.

Taking into account the cost, sales and other factors, the traditional lighting companies on intelligent lighting or not mention. NVC, FSL and other public information of listed companies did not find intelligent lighting words. A traditional lighting manufacturers, mainly due to the wisdom of LED lighting is still in the personalized stage.

An industry expert said: Although there are a number of enterprises in China to do the study of intelligent lighting, but more environmental protection is to stay in a simple dimming color, and the real wisdom should start from the control system.

Zhang Longxin to the development of the LED lighting market is summarized in three stages, replacing the traditional lighting stage, the integration of the system more intelligent, more energy efficient, cross industry integration (including things, remote control, smart home, etc.). However, the current LED lighting market is mainly the replacement lamp market.

He said that the simple wisdom of the product from a technical point of view, it is not difficult to achieve. But at present, the development of LED lighting is still in the first stage, the quality and reliability of LED products are still in doubt. Therefore, in his view, despite the wisdom
