Intelligent lighting gradually becomes LED development trend

“It is enough that the light shines wherever it is needed.” It seems to the person in the industry that only in this way will there be no light pollution and waste. This point has been achieved in Fujian Quanzhou photoelectric companies. "If the surrounding environment is bright or there are no people around, the light it emits will be reduced to achieve environmental protection; if the outside world is dark, or when someone passes, especially at midnight, the light will become brighter. ..." A LED power driver chip recently developed by a company in Quanzhou, with sensor technology, allows the LED to automatically adjust the lightness and darkness according to the degree of external light and the flow of people.

Quanzhou companies, including Wenchuang Solar, Jingying Gaoke, and Jingbo Blu-ray, have been developing applications for the Internet of Things in the LED field. “There are certain disadvantages in the existing manual switch mode. For example, the time setting of the manual control switch lamp is fixed. Due to seasonal changes, day-night alternation, cloudy fog and other factors, the daily switch lamp time, brightness and darkness Different; and the equipment is also prone to tripping, large loss of lamps and other phenomena, can not guarantee the timely repair and replacement of damaged lamps." Jingying Hi-Tech Head Huang Liangxi told reporters that through the wisdom of the management platform, only need a computer, click the mouse, It can finely control each street lamp, realize flexible opening and closing, dimming, fault early warning, and ensure the lighting quality while maximizing energy conservation.

Create a new profit growth point "Now we often change mobile phones, not broken, but the new mobile phone adds a lot of features. Therefore, a product to occupy the market must provide more added value and new features, for LED products The same is true.” From the perspective of many heads of Quanzhou optoelectronic companies, the current LED terminal sales prices have continued to decline, and profits have also shrunk, and the creation of smart lighting has become a new growth point in the industry.

Industry insiders roughly estimate that "in the next few years, the market size of China's LED light source will exceed 100 billion US dollars. At present, the penetration rate of domestic smart lighting market is less than 2%, and the product application is mainly embodied in dimmable LED landscape light, adjustable Color temperature LED street lights and their monitoring, etc. Future smart home lighting, intelligent road lighting and other markets will be greatly expanded, even with a 20% penetration rate, there are tens of billions of dollars (100 billion yuan in total) market space to be discovered. ."

In addition, the added value of products will also be greatly enhanced. Philips has previously introduced a LED bulb using the iPhone, iPad (with built-in application) WiFi control, can independently adjust the brightness and color, the entire system priced at 199.95 US dollars, even if you buy a single light bulb also need 59.95 US dollars, the price is ordinary LED lights Several times.

According to investigations, the ex-factory price of LED lamps with power-driven chips is 20% to 30% higher than that of ordinary lamps. Only this intelligent configuration can add at least 20% of the gross profit for lamps, and some high-end dimmable products can even reach 30% or more.
