The development status and future trend of global LED intelligent lighting market (two)

From the application point of view, countries in the early stages of the introduction of LED, usually led by the government to the public domain as a demonstration field of intelligent lighting. In the LED street lamp device rate gradually increased, the future will be joined with switch time, brightness, maintenance and other intelligent street lamp.

In Taiwan area as an example, the government replaced mercury lamps, replacing LED lamp with mandatory policy, Economy Minister Cao Shizhao in the "2015 Taiwan International Lighting Exhibition and LED process pointed out that when the exhibition opened, Taiwan began to implement the" mercury lamp sunset plan "from 2014, is scheduled to ban mercury lamps before the end of 2016 this change, plans to invest funds up to 5 billion 490 million yuan, is expected to save 640 million kwh of electricity, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 330 thousand tons, Taiwan will become the world's first fully eliminated mercury lamp area.

However, although the public domain is the first place to replace the LED lamps, but the industry and business is still the largest application of intelligent lighting field, because the lighting time is long, can be achieved by intelligent control to achieve the purpose of energy conservation. Residential areas, because of the high cost of intelligent lighting at the beginning, will be the first to the high order residential market as the main, from (2014) began to use more widely, and combined with the development of HEMS. According to industry analysis, LED home lighting market will officially enter the growth period from 2014 to 2016, maintaining an annual growth rate of 30%.

Traditional lighting manufacturers emphasize personalization

Industry analyst Huang Mengjiao analysis, the traditional lighting manufacturers is emphasized personal requirements, the most common products to the bulb is combined with the mobile phone APP, convenient for users to operate, compared to this type of intelligent lighting products and other means, price is more close to the people, easier to attract early innovators and consumers to buy.

For lighting brand manufacturers, bulb products must increase consumer brand image, and enhance the professional B2B lighting markets; as for small plants without the advantages of sales channels or niche market, will become OEM or even out of the market.

BEMS, HEMS system vendors have introduced intelligent lighting

Building energy management system (BEMS), is a combination of intelligent lighting and air conditioning system for that purpose is to achieve energy saving, in the home energy management system (HEMS), intelligent lighting emphasizes comfort, convenience, personal and emotional. Intelligent lighting in BEMS for energy saving; unlike HEMS with emotion, as the main requirements, such as automation control system of the international well-known manufacturers of Honeywell products, BEMS and HEMS have been covered, the intelligent lighting control system into one ring. Huang Mengjiao pointed out that in the BEMS and HEMS market, because the initial cost is high, with the top customers, leading right hand grip on the system manufacturers, product specifications can be compatible with intelligent lighting, have the opportunity to import automatic control system.

Smart lighting challenge

Although optimistic about the prospects of intelligent lighting, but now the intelligent lighting system from the communication protocol and control platform are no standard products caused by scattered light is difficult to integrate, the communication protocol is KNX, BACnet, DALI, ZigBee, LonWorks and other different types, how the future to build a common standard, is the biggest challenge of intelligent lighting still, the needs of the whole industry chain to work together.

As for the products, the development of LED technology has become mature, the future between the various manufacturers not only is the ratio of the technology breakthrough, more important is the ability to precisely hit consumers and use scenarios, in order to truly intelligent lighting products into the terminal application.
