Where is the return of smart lighting development?

It has been a few years since the development of smart lighting. As early as a few years ago, smart lighting had already appeared on the market. However, until now, there have been two different voices in the smart lighting market. Although the lighting companies are very excited about the development of smart lighting, they are very optimistic about the prospects, and they have made great strides in their development. However, the beautiful blueprints have encountered cold market consumers who do not buy it and watch it with cold eyes. The performance is tepid. The words of the two consumer lighting companies hold their own words, in the end where the development of smart lighting is the way back.

Lighting companies: prospects are promising and aggressive

The International Association for Internet of Things Trade and Application Promotion Association has published a report that the growth rate of China's smart home market will continue to increase in the coming years, and it is expected to reach 29.17% by 2016. By 2017, the market size of China's smart home industry will reach 8 billion yuan. . The bright future of smart homes has also led many lighting companies to start investing in research into the era of intelligence. The bright prospects presented by the lighting smart market are consistently viewed by the industry.

Many lighting companies have taken a swift attempt to fry ideas, accelerate the pace of development, and strive to become industry leaders. They have marched drastically into the mature road.

Consumer groups: Even though they are still far away

On the one hand, lighting companies promote advanced functions such as high-tech, remote control, and timing control. However, consumers have expressed that they are taller than traditional lighting and smart lighting, and they are nothing more than luxury goods; there is no substantial breakthrough, only intelligent ones. The combination of products and lighting, stacking, combined with many features do not have access. Consumers have a bad impression of smart lighting: "not practical", "no change with ordinary lighting", "poor experience", "complicated operation" and "high maintenance and complex costs".

Intelligent lighting generates a lot of research funds in the R&D process, and ultimately they are passed on to consumers and paid for by consumers. In addition, most consumers believe that in daily life, consumers are more concerned with the functions they use, and they do not have a wide interest in some advanced functions. Even some homes don't have many features after installing smart lighting systems. Often, a set of intelligent lighting systems with relatively complete functions is very complex. The construction process of integrated wiring and the later debugging must all be carried out by professional engineers. If failures occur in use, maintenance is a rather troublesome project.

Solution: Abandoning the smart concept, focusing on compatibility and practicality

Regardless of the direction in which future smart lighting will advance, it is important that intelligent lighting should be thrown away from the notion of “concept”, not simply combining electrical appliances and home appliances, but actually deepening the needs of consumers and closer to them. The cut into the consumer's life. Instead of blindly pursuing advanced and cutting-edge technologies, we should consider how to use high-tech means to create a humanized, practically comfortable and safe living environment for users. Not for the sake of intelligence, but from the physiological and psychological needs of people, to find more convenient and rapid changes, thus reflecting the service and functionality. Only in this way can intelligent lighting go further and further.
