After entering 2016, the smart lighting market is on the rise, as seen from this year's Frankfurt Lighting Fair: all kinds of wireless smart LED dimming ceiling lamps, bedside lamps, flat lamps are common, followed by LED smart street lights, intelligent lighting control systems. It has also sprung up in the market.
Undoubtedly, intelligent lighting products have become a strategic high ground for major lighting companies in China to establish brands and establish markets. It is foreseeable that there will be a long battle in the smart lighting market in 2016.
The layout of "smart" has become normalized
Let's take a look at the actions of international giants in the smart lighting market: In this giant-layout game, Philips first proposed the "smart interconnect lighting concept", which is particularly prominent in the smart home market lighting products.
In May last year, General Electric (GE) announced a partnership with industry leaders Qualcomm and Apple to promote smart lighting products, providing retailers with a way to connect their customers' smartphones with LED bulb embedded technology.
In February of this year, global IT giants Cisco and Cree jointly launched SmartCast, a smart lighting system platform for Power over Ethernet (PoE). Cisco also succeeded in its cooperation with its secure IT infrastructure and communication equipment. Enter the smart lighting market.
In addition to international giants such as Philips, GE, Cree and Cisco, many well-known domestic companies have also sniffed the opportunity of this new commercial "Blue Ocean".
It is understood that domestic traditional lighting companies such as Op, Sunshine, Mulinsen, Hongyan, Yaming, Yinghui, Zhouming, Liyang Optoelectronics and other enterprises are all in the field of intelligent lighting.
It is worth noting that optimistic about smart lighting cakes is not only in the LED industry, Internet companies and technology companies such as Xiaomi, Ali, Jingdong, Tencent, Huawei, etc. all the layout, in addition, including Haier, the United States and other home appliance industry participation, also Make the smart lighting market more lively.
Moreover, such Internet technology companies have joined forces with traditional lighting companies to become a recent highlight. Among them, it must be mentioned that the two major technology giants Huawei and Xiaomi. It has become the norm for technology giants to enter smart lighting through strong alliances with traditional lighting companies.
In China, Huawei has combined itself with its powerful communication and connectivity technologies to target this huge market. For example, Huawei and Op Lighting recently signed a smart home strategic cooperation framework agreement, and the two sides have established a close strategic partnership in the smart home field. This is also the “natural match†of the “home-to-doorâ€, the spark in the field of smart home lighting. It is also an event that everyone is focusing on.
At the same time, another technology newcomer Xiaomi, since 2015, has successively cooperated with 13 lighting companies such as Op, Mulinsen, Sunshine Lighting and Hongyan to jointly build a smart lighting joint statement to jointly promote the development of intelligent lighting.
The concept of “ecosphere†surfaced
Some experts pointed out that the Internet and technology companies have advantages in high-speed interconnection and cloud data, while lighting companies understand the characteristics of electricity and optical characteristics. The combination of the two can accelerate the integration of the two industries.
Indeed, the cross-border alliance of technology giants will undoubtedly have a subversive impact on the smart lighting industry. The combination of lighting companies and technology giants is essentially indispensable.
Wang Micheng, president of Hongyan Electric, said in the release of “Hongyan Smart Home Strategy†that the concepts and products of intelligent lighting, smart security, smart home appliances, smart sockets, intelligent environment monitoring and so on are relatively isolated, and this is all about smart home. The concept of interconnection is far apart, and the future of intelligence can not only be a single smart product, but also to build an "ecological circle."
"Multiple technologies promote the development of intelligent lighting, and it also implies that the field of intelligent lighting is no longer a lighting enterprise or a region where a company can conquer alone. With the rise of the concept of smart home, intelligent lighting cannot be separated from other household products. R&D, which requires companies from all walks of life to jointly build a smart ecosystem that covers intelligent lighting.†Wang Micheng mentioned.
Indeed, smart products are no longer alone, which has created the birth of many "smart ecosystems", such as Meizu, LeTV, Xiaomi, Lenovo, Baidu, Tencent, 360, Youku, etc. Each of the “smart ecosystems†has issued a corresponding set of standards.
But at the same time, some people in the industry pointed out that the problem of the ecological circle will also hinder the development of intelligent lighting. For example, if manufacturers want to sell products into various circles, they must adapt to different circles on the equipment, but now there are many ecosystems. At home and abroad, there will be an imbalance between input and output.
Indeed, nowadays, after the chaos of the previous smart singles, the more and more enterprises realize that intelligent lighting is more than just a product, a company can achieve. Although from the current point of view, the situation of multiple agreements and multiple smart ecosystems will continue for some time, but everyone collects firewood with high flames. Through the efforts of all walks of life, intelligent lighting will undoubtedly be just around the corner.
