Embrace change and build new development of intelligent lighting industry

Topic: Following the upsurge of smart home, smart lighting also become an important part in the LED lighting market, and smart lamps will become an important role for people to create quality life in the future.

According to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc., the global smart lighting market is expected to reach $46.9 billion by 2028, with a CAGR of 20.4% from 2021 to 2028.

From the data, it can be seen that with the improvement of intelligent terminal capability and people's growing yearning for intelligent and better life, the whole-house intelligence as the represent of high-quality lifestyle, is moving towards the public at an accelerated pace, smart lighting also become an important part in the LED lighting market, and smart lamps will become an important role for people to create quality life in the future.

What is intelligent lighting? Intelligent lighting refers to the distributed wireless telemetering, remote control and remote communication control system composed of computer, wireless communication data transmission, spread spectrum power carrier communication technology, computer intelligent information processing and energy-saving electrical control technology to realize intelligent control of lighting equipment. It has the functions of light intensity adjustment, light soft start, timing control, scene setting etc; It is safe, energy-saving, comfortable and efficient.

According to the different requirements of consumers, the demand for intelligent lighting applications and services is increasing. Traditional lighting enterprises or Internet technology enterprises such as OSRAM, FSL, Les Lighting, Philips, OREB, OPP etc have all launched intelligent lighting products for hotels, exhibition venues, municipal engineering, road traffic, medical treatment, office buildings, high-end villas and other places.

In the future, intelligent lighting will develop in three big directions: personalization, great health and systematization.

Firstly, in the era of whole-house intelligence, the personalized needs of consumers have led to a more segmented market. With the development of 5G, AIoT and other technologies, lighting presents intelligent, design without main lighting, green and healthy, and rich dimming changes.

Second, under the influence of the repeated COVID-19, UV products have become the focus of all sectors of society, all major lighting enterprises be actively deployed in the UV products, promoted the innovation of lighting technology to and protect life and health.
For example, San'an Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. cooperates with Gree to develop UV LED chips; Guangpu Co., Ltd. has set up a healthy life business department and a brand business department, and launched a series of ultraviolet disinfection and sterilization complete products such as ultraviolet air disinfector, ultraviolet sterilizer, as well as ultraviolet disinfection and sterilization modules such as air purification and water purification. Mulinsen cooperates with Zhishan Semiconductor to produce and promote deep ultraviolet intelligent sterilization and disinfection products, and further deepen the layout of UVC semiconductor chip business.

On the other hand, Lamp isn’t only a simple lighting function, but also affects people's mood and vision. On the premise of meeting the basic lighting requirements, people pay more and more attention to light health, Especially for educational lighting, it pays attention to low blue light and anti-glare, so visual health is a necessary and important consideration.

Significantly, There are many smart home communication protocols, Zigbee, Thread, 6LowPan, Wi-Fi, Z-wave, Bluetooth Mesh, etc.However, in the past decade, no standard protocol can unify the smart home communication protocol, and no standard protocol can make different brands of products truly interconnected.

Due to the lack of unified standard agreement in the industry, it is difficult for different intelligent lighting devices to realize cross-platform and cross-brand interconnection; In order to solve the compatibility problem of equipment network access, some intelligent hardware manufacturers have increased their R&D costs, which eventually passed on to users in the form of increasing the unit price of products.

In addition, most of the current intelligent lighting solutions on the market emphasize rich functions while ignoring the stability and sensitivity of the product connection, which is difficult to open the gap with the same type of products or even "fake products", and also to a certain extent affects the consumer's purchase intention and use experience. From the perspective of the overall development of the smart area, the head enterprises also ushered in new opportunities.
Not long ago, the version 1.0 of the Matter protocol came out. It’s understood that Matter can be compatible with different communication protocols at the application layer, enabling the interconnection of devices controlled by different protocols and cross-platform or cross-brand. At present, brands such as OREB, Green Rice and Tuya all have announced that all their products will support the Matter agreement.

Beyond all doubt, health, smart and networking be the future of lighting, and the future intelligent lighting must also be customer-oriented, and create a comfortable and beautiful living and working environment with more healthy, professional and intelligent lighting.

LEDEAST also will continue to follow the trend of the times, actively upgrade the product performance in the field of intelligent lighting, and provide more and more users with satisfactory lighting solutions and services.
