Intelligent lighting is the inevitable pursuit of light quality for consumers. The market development space is huge. Technically speaking, intelligent lighting is not only related to optoelectronics, but also a blend of communication technology, control technology, IT technology and other technologies.
This is also a perfect explanation in recent years why the traditional lighting companies and IT companies to jointly develop intelligent lighting market. Such as Philips Lighting and Huawei signed a cooperation agreement, millet and lighting companies signed a joint statement, announced to jointly promote the development of intelligent lighting industry. At the same time, Haier, ZTE, Jingdong, Baidu, Ali, Meizu lights in the field of giants have also poured into the intelligent lighting market.
In intelligent lighting, lighting is only the part. More importantly it is the intelligent control platform. Obviously, It cannot be completed alone for the traditional lighting companies to achieve automatic adjustment, voice control, scene lighting and other power of the lighting system. Intelligent lighting industry needs lighting, IT, communications and other areas of integration.
In addition to the technical cross-border, the degree of openness of the platform is also crucial, because intelligent Internet lighting is a big concept, inevitably need to put together a lot of different areas of the manufacturers together, this time must have an open platform.
Such as Philips Hue smart home system with access to the platform including Apple, Google platform and other different platforms. Different hardware vendors can be connected together, play their own strengths. This is especially true of the outdoor smart city, such as how the street lights are interconnected with the public transport system, which requires a uniform standard, so it is important to keep the platform open.
In essence, intelligent lighting is mainly to provide people with more comfortable, higher quality light environment. This requires lighting companies based on a variety of places of use, and lighting design continue to crash, to develop more innovative lighting.
With the smart lighting technology continues to mature, there is still a long way to go for ordinary consumers to really make intelligent lighting into their lives. This requires lighting companies and Internet of things, intelligent systems and other areas of the manufacturers work together to jointly promote the smart lighting into the tens of thousands of households.
