First of all, for the indoor smart lighting market, smart lighting, which has not received much attention, has suddenly become hot in recent years. At the end of November 2018, the home improvement Xin Rui Ai Space announced in-depth cooperation with Xiaomi IOT, jointly launching a whole-house intelligent lighting package including six categories of products including Xiao Ai speakers, wall switches, wireless switches, human sensors, Xiaomi Xiao Ai alarm clocks, and multi-function gateways On the same day, IKEA also announced that it will jointly launch a smart lighting solution with Xiaomi, and lighting products compatible with Xiaomi will be launched in December.
Many people in the industry believe that Love Space and IKEA participate in the battle, one cuts in from the intelligent control system, and one opens the intelligent lamp port. The two compete for intelligent lighting entrance from different angles or will promote the rapid landing of intelligent lighting.
Not only that, last year Huawei's brand focused on smart home products-"Huawei Zhixuan" joined hands with Op Lighting and Shanghai Sansi to launch new smart lighting products. This is the specific landing of Huawei's smart home ecological strategic deployment. Huawei's smart selection lighting series officially landed on the domestic market on August 28th last year. With high-cost performance, simple atmospheric appearance, consistent experience, and extreme performance, it has become a powerful new product for domestic smart home products, and sales are very hot.
The smart home industry is getting more and more lively. As we all know, Xiaomi is considered to be a company that laid out smart homes earlier. With the release of Huawei's smart selection brand, from the perspective of Huawei's new product sales, I am afraid that the smart home industry will face a reshuffle.
Of course, the lighting industry as one of the entry points of the smart home industry, in addition to platform companies, many lighting companies are also actively layout.
"Op is committed to creating a smart home ecosystem with smart lighting as the core, implementing a multi-entry, multi-scenario lighting control system based on different needs, providing users with a convenient lighting environment control experience, and improving the energy conservation and environmental protection of the application environment. "Ma Xiuhui, founder and president of Op Lighting, said.
As the company's new business, in the OP's smart home product spectrum, not only the company's main business products such as table lamps, lamp lighting, voice audio lights, gateways, switch panels but also cover human body sensors, curtains, door and window sensors, smoke alarms devices, door locks, cameras, and other terminals.
Foshan Lighting, as a well-known domestic lighting company, faced with the upgrading of consumer demand and the development of the industry, the company increased its R&D investment and accelerated its R&D layout in new areas such as smart lighting, smart electricians, and smart car lights.
In 2018, Foshan Lighting conducted a rich upgrade of its smart product line, improved its product categories, and developed smart products supporting mainstream protocols such as wifi/Bluetooth/Zigbee for different channels and different usage scenarios. Cooperation realized the connection with smart speakers and apps of foreign Amazon, Echo, Google assistant, Homekit platforms, and domestic platforms such as Alibaba, Tencent, Evergrande Real Estate, Lenovo Siot, etc., and completed the smart control system "Fo Zhao e home" app development has realized the transformation from intelligent single products to intelligent solutions.
Intelligent lighting is composed of many different types and different forms of lamps and light sources. According to the use scenario, it is a light that is uniformly configured in collaboration and work. However, based on the single product design, it is difficult to achieve intelligent lighting configuration. In order to meet customers' overall needs and pursue higher value-added products, more and more enterprises will change from single intelligent products to overall solutions in the future.
In addition, the wisdom of outdoor lighting has expanded the market space of smart lighting. The "Government Work Report" in 2019 pointed out that the new urbanization should embody people as the core everywhere, and improve the flexible governance and refined service level. As a carrier to promote the simultaneous development of informatization and urbanization, the construction of new smart cities has attracted attention from all parties.
Smart street lights are an important carrier of smart cities. The street lights in the city are connected in series. Through the Internet of Things, remote centralized control and management of street lights are realized.
For the prospects of smart outdoor lighting, including Shanghai Sansi, Fangda Zhikong, Liyang Optoelectronics, Zhongke Zhilian, and other manufacturers have expressed optimism. Wang Yinghua, president of Shanghai Sansi, believes that smart city management and "one-shot with multiple capabilities" are an inevitable trend, so the promotion and popularization of smart street lamps must be the focus of social and industry attention in the next few years and is a gradual advancement.
Fangda accused Song Hongwei, chairman of the board of directors, of the high-tech LED, saying that the integration of multiple poles is one of the smart street lights. The rise of the Internet of Things has made the entire street light industry no longer limited to traditional road lighting functions and has derived a new concept of smart street lights. It also supports multiple functions such as smart street lights, video surveillance, electronic information screens, public WiFi, and emergency calls.
With the advancement of smart city construction across the country, the smart street lamp industry has ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. At this year's Hong Kong Spring Lighting Fair, manufacturers such as Fangda Intelligent Control and Shunzhou Intelligence competed on the same stage. According to Song Hongwei, Fangda Intelligent Control has brought smart lighting and even smart cities to all parts of the country, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States, the Middle East, Australia, and other countries around the world, and together with the United States, Australia, Saudi Arabia and other places to build an international technology cooperation platform to promote Belt and Road Smart City Construction.
From this, we can see that no matter indoor or outdoor, the intelligent lighting door has been opened. In the current fierce competition in the field of traditional lighting, smart lighting is the next high ground for lighting companies.
