Analysis of the development trend of explosion-proof lamps and intelligent lighting

Chemical plants are prone to produce flammable and explosive substances during production. Because lighting fixtures inevitably generate electric sparks or form hot surfaces during operation, they encounter explosive gases and ignite these gases, resulting in explosion accidents. Before the lights appeared, many enterprises installed ordinary lamps. Because ordinary lamps did not have good explosion-proof properties, some factory accidents occurred frequently, which caused great losses to enterprises.

Explosion-proof lamps have the function of isolating flammable gas and dust. In these dangerous places, it can prevent sparks inside the lamp and high temperature igniting flammable gas and dust in the surrounding environment, so as to meet the explosion-proof requirements.

Different flammable gas mixture environments have different requirements for the explosion-proof level and explosion-proof form of explosion-proof lamps. According to the requirements of different flammable gas mixture environments, the explosion-proof grades of our commonly used explosion-proof lamps are IIB and IIC, and the explosion-proof forms include full explosion-proof type (d) and composite type (de). The light sources of explosion-proof lamps can be divided into two categories. One type of light source is gas discharge lamps. Commonly used fluorescent lamps, metal halide lamps, high pressure sodium lamps, and electrodeless lamps. The other type is LED light source, which can be divided into SMD light source and COB integrated light source.

Intelligent lighting refers to a distributed lighting control system composed of Internet of Things technology, wired/wireless communication technology, power carrier communication technology, embedded computer intelligent information processing, and energy-saving control technologies to achieve intelligent control of lighting equipment. With the support of national policies, many industries have been transformed and upgraded, and the policy of opening to the outside world has further promoted the "going out" of Chinese industries. Not only can excellent "Made in China" technology products be brought to all parts of the world, but the development trend of lighting fixtures has also changed. .

From the earliest "torch" era, to the "electrical appliance" era, to the "LED" era we are familiar with today, and the ongoing "Internet of Things" era. Every revolution in light source technology brings new opportunities and new market patterns. The application of intelligent equipment in daily life has become more and more extensive. As a type of intelligent system, intelligent lighting facilitates people's lives.

Traditional lighting solutions (such as power systems) have long had the following problems in industrial enterprises:

① The lights of the centralized control building are always bright when the natural light is sufficient;

② Excessive lighting in the factory building when there is sufficient light;

③ The switch time setting of street lights and landscape lights in the factory area is unreasonable;

④ The lighting system cannot adjust the lighting illuminance according to the actual situation of each area.

In order to solve the shortcomings of traditional lighting, more intelligent lighting solutions have emerged.

The use of intelligent lighting system not only saves energy, but also improves the operation and management level of lighting equipment, changes the operation management and control methods of traditional lighting in enterprises, reduces the labor intensity of operators, prolongs the service life of lamps, and integrates production management. The metering management and energy saving management have been raised to a new height, which is an effective solution to realize energy saving, emission reduction, and energy saving and consumption reduction.
