Smart lighting "preparedness" top ten companies

The penetration of LED lighting further deepens. Everyone is also looking for new breakthroughs to better display the efficacy of LED lighting. Smart lighting will take over from time to time. Many companies look for business opportunities and begin to prepare for the smart lighting market ahead of schedule. OFweek Semiconductor Lighting Everyone counts the top ten companies that entered smart lighting in 2013.

Zhejiang Jinhua built the first LED intelligent lighting tunnel. "Having only half of the light, it far exceeds the brightness of the design requirements. With the first LED intelligent lighting tunnel in Jinhua City recently completed in Huangfeiling, Huaiwan Line, Zhao'an County, the highway tunnel lighting has been realized. The historic breakthrough in energy conservation and emission reduction.

The Huaiwan Line is the northern gate to the “four gates” leading to the surrounding counties and cities in Zhaoan County. In 2011, the 1,912-metre-long Huangfeiling tunnel penetrated the entire line, ending the history of the Huangfeiling crossing between Zhaoan and Dongyang. In 2012, the tunnel electromechanical engineering tender was launched, and Zhejiang Desheng New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. provided lighting fixtures.

This high-tech enterprise in the Jinhua Development Zone after two years of research, in 2011 solved the global technical challenges of high-power Led Street Lamp cooling, and achieved energy savings of more than 75%, 5 years of unabated results. With this core cutting-edge technology, Desheng Company has demonstrated through more than 100 projects in the UL certification system in the United States, and has taken the lead in obtaining the permit for high-power outdoor lighting products to reach the international market. In the past two years, Desheng Co., Ltd. has successively successfully constructed more than 10 energy-saving and emission-reducing lighting projects such as the traditional Street Lamp retrofit project in California, the 65 km LED scenery complementary smart street lamp demonstration project in Chizhou, Anhui, and the energy saving lighting project in Jinhua Sports Center.

On the evening of March 25th, the reporter set out from Jinhua and went to the Huangfeiling Tunnel at the junction of Zhao'an and Dongyang to experience the effects of LED smart lighting. After passing through multiple road tunnels, the lighting seemed to be always dark and uncomfortable. However, after entering the Huangfeiling tunnel, I only saw the bright lights, and I watched the tunnel mouth brighter at night. The reporter noted that the tunnel had only half-side LED lights on that night, and it had not yet fully opened. The brightness exceeded the ordinary tunnel lights.

Desheng company engineer Gong Zemiao introduced that in the case of the base section of the Huangfeiling tunnel, the measured brightness reached 1.99 cd/m2 when only half of the light was on, which exceeded the design standard requirement of 1.5 cd/m2. In the basic and reinforced sections of the tunnel, Desheng used 50- and 150-watt LED tunnel lights instead of traditional 150-watt and 400-watt sodium lamps, which greatly reduced lighting costs. Moreover, these tunnel lights are equipped with intelligent control system, the brightness of the tunnel mouth section can be automatically adjusted according to the light and shade of the outdoor, and the basic section of traffic will automatically become bright, small traffic will automatically darken.

Some lighting experts pointed out that the replacement of traditional sodium lamps with new LED tunnel lights is the development direction of energy saving for highway tunnel lighting. The LED tunnel light developed by Desheng Co., Ltd. has played a dual role in energy saving with high efficiency, low consumption, and intelligent regulation, realizing true green lighting. Moreover, due to greatly increased brightness, it can also reduce the occurrence of tunnel traffic accidents to some extent.

"At the beginning of channel development, many newcomers had a certain amount of capital. They knew LED, but they didn't know where the LED customers were, so they had to use the easiest way to find customer resources - to dig away another company with high salary. Marketing Director, "A person in charge of corporate marketing disclosed to the author.

Previously, talented people who knew both the LED and the customer resources had become scarce resources in the industry and the company's fragrance. However, since the development of the industry, there have been more and more talents entering the LED industry. People with professional knowledge and customer resources have become more common. The new industry development requires practitioners not only to know where the customers are, but also to have superb marketing capabilities and to require companies to provide quality product support before they can make business.

"There are certainly high-end marketing talents joining us, but at this stage we still need to find suitable talents for 'door to door'. After all, brands need product, technology, marketing, promotion, after-sales and other systems to cooperate. It is not a matter of recruiting a person in charge. "Heshan Guangmingyuan Lighting Chairman Hong Yannan said.

According to Fan Bangyang, chairman of Zhenmingli Group, the overall quality of talents in the LED industry currently needs to be improved, because LED lighting is a new type of LED lighting industry where traditional lighting sources and semiconductor optics are superimposed, such as marketing talents, mostly from the traditional lighting industry, building materials. From the industry, LED knowledge is not very rich, and there is a learning and improvement process for LED lighting technology and products. The overwhelming majority of small and medium-sized enterprises will not be recruited at all, but will slowly explore through experience in practice, resulting in a lower overall management level of the LED industry and it is difficult to grow.

"Dachang Power Co., Ltd. Actively Grasps LED Intelligent Lighting Market" In recent years, developed countries such as the United States, Japan and the European Union have formulated relevant standards to regulate the requirements for the safety, performance, and energy efficiency of LED products. September 1st of this year The latest energy efficiency requirements for LED lighting products were formally implemented in Europe.In recent years, developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the European Union have formulated relevant standards to regulate the requirements for safety, performance and energy efficiency of LED products. The latest energy efficiency requirements for LED lighting products are officially implemented in Europe.

Faced with new certification standards and thresholds, China's export-oriented enterprises need to adapt and use them as soon as possible. Although different countries have different certifications, how to deal with them is crucial, but in the main, the most important issue is the issue of patents. Foreign customers attach great importance to patent issues. Especially in the European and American markets, the customers first pay attention to the quality of the products and related standard certifications, and also carry out strict assessment of patent issues. In addition, the standard laws and regulations of some countries also change from time to time. Enterprises should design and manufacture according to the standards and requirements of product importation.

In addition to relying on Europe and the United States and other places as much as possible, although Europe and the United States are still the main destinations for exports, with the global economic slowdown, the market demand in developed countries has slowed down, and the export threshold has been constantly improving. Many foreign trade companies overseas Orders have plummeted, but emerging market infrastructure investment has begun to turn hot, emerging markets in Southeast Asia, Russia, and Africa have become new bright spots for LED export companies.

A group of foreign trade companies have further adjusted their export strategies and increased their focus on emerging markets. China and ASEAN countries have bilateral trade agreements, and LED products exported to these countries can enjoy low tariffs or zero tariffs. In addition, Southeast Asian countries have experienced rapid economic growth, large infrastructure investment, and attractive policies. They have begun to become new hot spots.

Russia's demand for LED lighting is also very large. There are fewer LED companies in Russia and there are not many companies. The technology is still relatively backward. The demand for LED lamps and LED bulbs is the largest, followed by LED downlights. Domestic LED companies can open up markets by building industrial parks, setting up distribution companies or directly choosing exports.

Finally, with the development in recent years, intelligent lighting has become more and more vocal, and this intelligent lighting has injected new vitality into the export-oriented enterprises. In fact, the international LED lighting giants have already begun the battle for smart markets.

Philips and GE Lighting, Osram, Panasonic, Toshiba and other international lighting companies formed the Network Lighting Alliance (CLA) this year, actively seizing the LED smart lighting market, and will develop smart lighting with wireless transmission.

"2013-2017 China LED lighting industry market prospects and investment strategic planning analysis report" pointed out that smart lamps in the overseas market is very advantageous, on the one hand, Europe and the United States and other developed areas are generally higher electricity prices, how to achieve the technology of LED lighting products "Secondary energy saving" plays a major role in LED lighting products. It is of great significance for local energy conservation and environmental protection. On the other hand, due to the high cost of local labor, the use of smart lamps can greatly reduce labor costs and can be more humane. Satisfy the user's requirements, effectively reduce the maintenance costs of future lighting projects.

From the perspective of this year's situation, the penetration rate of smart lighting is small and small, but there are always some companies that can advance ahead of time, take the lead, and opportunities will always be reserved for those who are prepared. Intelligent lighting is no exception. . It's always better to plan ahead than to burn guns.
