Intelligent lighting is a high-efficiency, energy-saving, healthy, environmentally friendly and humanized lighting system based on the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, with LED light sources, wireless communication and intelligent sensing as the core. With the rise of the Internet of Things, LED intelligent lighting will enter a rapid development channel. The Internet of Things / AI lighting is the future development direction, and the technology and products will have huge market space.

It is foreseeable that the smart lighting industry will usher in a rapid development stage. As the brand-new operation mode of the smart lighting solution involves a huge industrial chain, there will be huge market opportunities for chips, sensors, LED lighting, communication modules, cloud platforms, etc.

Four stages of development of intelligent LED lighting technology

1. In the conventional lighting stage, LED lighting has replaced traditional lighting;

2. In the stage of smart lamps, smart lamps have the function of dimming and color adjustment

3. In the lighting stage of the Internet of Things, it is a system integrating light source, wireless sensor network, intelligent control and management, and can realize intelligent control of lighting fixtures through wireless transmission;

4. In the AI lighting stage, interconnection and interoperability can be achieved, providing healthy and humanized lights.

Analysis and forecast of global smart lighting market size

According to the statistics of the 'Analysis Report on the Development Prospects and Investment Strategic Planning of the Intelligent Lighting Industry' released by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, the global intelligent lighting market size was only 2.5 billion yuan in 2013. In the past five years, the global smart lighting market has increased year by year. As of 2017, the global smart lighting market size was 26 billion yuan, of which lamps and accessories accounted for about 30%. The global smart lighting market size is expected to reach 32 billion yuan in 2018. And it is expected that the global smart lighting market will exceed 75 billion yuan in 2022. Smart lighting is expected to become the new blue ocean of the future market.

Statistics and forecast of global smart lighting market size from 2013 to 2022

IOT lighting classification

IoT Lighting is mainly divided into two parts: intelligent lighting fixtures and intelligent lighting systems (solutions). Among them, intelligent lighting fixtures are composed of LED light source modules, sensor modules, control and communication modules, including dimming / coloring lamps and high-quality light sources Lamps, multi-function lamps, etc .; intelligent lighting systems (solutions) are based on the Internet of Things technology to form LED intelligent lighting networking systems, including intelligent lamps, wireless networks, intelligent access, cloud platforms, etc.

Analysis of wireless communication and network

In terms of wireless communications and networks, radio frequency technology has the advantages of easy development, low cost, and high spectrum utilization. The disadvantages are poor compatibility and confidentiality, and low transmission rate. The communication protocol of WIFI is mature, it does not need a gateway to directly connect to the Internet, and it has a fast speed. The disadvantage is that the power consumption is large and the number of nodes is low. Low Bluetooth power consumption, fast link, and good compatibility. MESH technology is the latest development in the field of wireless networks. ZigBee technology is a low-power, self-organizing network wireless control protocol, which has high security and the disadvantage is that the system requires an additional gateway. NB-IOT technology is suitable for long-range applications in large areas (for example: smart city / street lights), while Zigbee / Bluetooth Mesh technology is more suitable for local wireless interconnection (smart home / indoor, etc.). At present, the Wireless Internet of Things still has problems of stable and reliable / multi-technology multi-protocol interconnection and standardization, which need to be resolved as soon as possible.

High-quality smart lamps will have a bright future in the field of special lighting

With the continuous improvement of white LED technology, people's demand for quality of white LED light sources is also increasing. From the original simple pursuit of 'high brightness' to the 'high quality' that takes into account the color rendering index, color temperature and other light color performance , And even pursue full-spectrum lighting similar to sunlight. High-quality lighting can achieve health lighting, scene lighting, fun lighting, etc. High-quality intelligent lamps and lanterns will be promising in the field of special lighting (plant / art / display / medical / health, etc.).

Smart lighting will promote the development of smart city industry

As an infrastructure, smart street lights combine sensors, video surveillance, display screens, wireless communication base stations, charging piles and other equipment to build a multi-function street light (pole) system to play a greater role in the construction of smart cities. In addition, the development of smart home systems will also become a new breakthrough point in smart lighting. Smart lighting can allow other smart home systems, such as security systems, entertainment systems (speakers, TVs, etc.) to interact with voice and apply AI technology to make the system more intelligent, allowing people, lighting, and home appliances (home appliances) to have seamless The interaction makes people's lives more convenient, richer and safer.

Intelligent lighting will become the new trend of future lighting technology development

It is foreseeable that the future intelligent lighting control system will connect dimming modules, switching power, scene control panels, sensors and programmers, programming sockets, pc monitors and other independent control modules to the computer data line to form an independent lighting control system. It can realize intelligent management and automatic control of the lighting system, which is convenient for creating a comfortable lighting environment, is conducive to people's health, and will become a new trend in the future development of lighting technology.
