"Lighting will LianWangHua, and release the infinite value", "the future of LED intelligent lighting is to interact with"... May 13-15, alliance to host the seventh session of Shanghai international new energy lighting light source & BBS, among them, the BBS of "intelligent lighting system and service branch" chapter, from the United States at rensselaer polytechnic institute intelligent lighting engineering research center, philips China institute, the international union of ZigBee heavyweight honored guest and many domestic enterprises on intelligent lighting market application status and development trend, combined with the current LED intelligent control standardization and promotion experience related topics such as the deep discussion and communication. LED intelligent lighting has started to enter our lives, and in the future with the progress of the Internet of things, such as optical communication technology, intelligent LED lighting would bring more change will happen.

The LED into the era of intelligent lighting

Mobile phones or the remote control directly LED lamp; Manually set intelligent memory function, even under different time and the scene automatically adjust the lighting mode, let family lighting atmosphere random switching; From indoor lighting to outdoor street lamp intelligent control... As the advantages of the LED field, intelligent lighting is thought to be important growth point, increase the added value of the semiconductor lighting but also attracts many enterprises to join, LED intelligent lighting has become one of the main direction of technology development of semiconductor lighting enterprises.

The current LED intelligent product application is mainly manifested in the adjustable light, color temperature and monitoring, such as street light control and so on. But LED intelligent lighting will be more than that, the United States at rensselaer polytechnic institute director of intelligent lighting engineering research center of innovation SilviaL. Mioc has said that intelligent lighting makes the lighting industry shift from capital equipment mode to service mode, increase the added value of the product. And face the future, the best advice is to see how the lighting to reshape become an integral part of the Internet, to health care, energy, and service, video, communications, etc. The Internet of things, the development of intelligent building and so on will also give the LED intelligent lighting bigger play space and innovation.

Among them, the Internet of things on the Internet (IP) as the core and foundation, digital to the real world, from people to people and things, and communication between the physical connection, build up sustainable and a full range of modern information society foundation platform. In this process, a new generation of IT technology will be used in all walks of life fully, promote cross-industry across through integration of the system. Iot architecture and supporting technology, mainly include the perception layer from top to bottom (including sensing, drive, etc.), the network layer, platform layer (including cloud computing, data analysis, management, etc.), the application layer (including intelligent lighting, public security, transportation, health, etc.).

Philips jian-feng wang, a researcher at the Chinese PhD, director of the institute, said at the meeting from traditional CFLS, eHID to leds, from magnetic ballast to today's digital drive, from the function of lamps and lanterns to the integrated, adjustable light toning, lamps and lanterns that have artistic aesthetic feeling, from simple switch that move light to network-based distributed intelligent dimmer, can say, from a source module to the lamps and lanterns, system, lighting area is taking place in the digital revolution, and in this process, the Internet of things can push forward the digital lighting again or ascend to a new stage. The innovation of the past "lighting area is more of a focus on light source and modules, now between the system and system integration, such as lighting and intelligent building, intelligent integration and connectivity between the cities. But the future will develop to the application service stage, pay attention to people's physical and psychological. From the point of value chain, people used to mainly run out to see or make them more visible. Now begin to pay close attention to the total cost of the decline, but the future user's experience, health, safety and lifestyle will be lighting the embodiment of the value. The Internet of things will become a bridge connection, with the full range of lighting and smart city/construction/household integration".

In addition to the integration with other systems applications, some support intelligent lighting technology including multi-channel LED light source, can be used to detect the wavelength and azimuth sensor, control technology upgrade, and the application of visual optical communication will also bring LED the development of intelligent lighting more let a person look forward to "variables".

Standard become the organization power cut

Throughout the current LED intelligent lighting applications, mainly composed of intelligent control, and still faces many problems, such as technical maturity will still need to improve, need to reduce the system cost, the Internet of things application common platform construction, etc. In addition, the standard is an important topic for the LED intelligent lighting. Among them, in the current application more intelligent lighting network, the lack of related standards, because was still in the stage of development, each manufacturer on the technical implementation or schools of thought contend, unable to realize interoperability, many LED companies in their respective development LED outdoor lighting system platform, it is difficult to integrate with other company's products, which is difficult to form a complementary advantages, it is easy to cause is difficult to integrate resources and waste.

In this context, LED intelligent lighting organization within the territory of strength increasing, more become enterprises to participate in a way of differentiation competition, and LED intelligent lighting related standard has become many organizations power cut. In June 2012, for example, dongguan frequently on the photoelectric co., LTD., Harvard Engineering, philips, schneider, Streetlight. Vision and oda fort formed TALQ alliance, to participate in and sponsor aims to develop the central management system and network system of outdoor lighting (OLNs) between the standard application interface protocols. And ZigBee alliance (composed of enterprises and other organizations, non-profit open consortium, is geared to the needs of energy management, business and consumer applications, create a wireless solution for global business alliance), the league is currently developing a new kind of LED lighting control ZigBeELightLink open standards. ZigBeeLightLink standards and certification is understood to have been completed and the official opening, can provide highly efficient and flexible for global lighting solution of wireless control. LightLink mainly for ordinary consumers, has the characteristics of easy installation, use simple, is to provide intelligent lighting network standards.

"Standardization is certainly a trend of standardization work is perfect, and lighting control system for lighting enterprises are beneficial, and more conducive to the industrial structure of division of labor, do companies want to control the lighting product standardization, the better, the key is who finally wins, the alliance has advantaged conditions." The personage inside course of study said.

Who will be the winner of the future?

The development of the technology for the future of LED intelligent lighting brought a broad space for development, and the development of the society and the demand for the LED intelligent lighting brings considerable market space. Growing in the energy shortage, energy conservation and emissions reduction, under the background of green lighting as theme, how to effectively control energy consumption, is the goal of building a modern communist society, and is also a trend of the construction of the city of wisdom. As an important part of them, LED intelligent lighting gradually into the LED industry new profit growth point. Although still at an early stage of development, as mentioned above, there are many problems, such as standard and the difficulties to be solved, but the field has become the competition area.

So who will be the winner of the future? From the point into the field of main body, which can be roughly divided into several categories: one is a large international enterprises, such as philips, osram, etc. The second is based on intelligent control system, etc, have and accumulation of enterprise; Three is a traditional lighting or semiconductor lighting enterprises. Also some cell of LED lighting and lighting controller has entered the field. Analysis, several companies have their own advantages, the international big companies in the technology accumulation and moderate degree is unmatched by many companies in China. Many enterprises with intelligent control based on intelligent control is relatively easier. And have deep understanding on lighting lighting companies.

For the future in the field of competition, one of the personage inside course of study thinks, the future of intelligent lighting may be divided into lighting design, construction, controller and power supply, management platform development and leasing market segments, from the point of view of intelligent control system, the separation of the lighting controller and power supply technology architecture from the perspective of the cost and reliability is obviously not reasonable, with mature technology may be integrated in future; And management platform developers may also act as the role of the server lease, to bring some small and medium-sized users use convenient. Do lighting companies, especially power, unlike large enterprises and enterprises without the basis of intelligent control, can consider to do control and power supply enterprise cooperation.

As Hong Kong applied science and technology research institute vice President Wu Enbai said, the development trend of intelligent lighting control will be "a combination of software and hardware, the combination of products and services", the intelligent control system as an open platform, will require operators have more open to ideas. And on the platform, various kinds of strength to compete, who will be the winner, remains to be seen.
