Intelligent LED lighting: will enter the "remote control era"

This year's major exhibitions, many companies launched new intelligent lighting products, the frequency of smart lamps has increased significantly compared with previous years, and the technology content is getting higher and higher. In the Olympic Science and Technology Outlook Forum, smart lighting was put on the agenda, and the Ministry of Construction requested that 60% of the residential buildings in the country be intelligent in 2010. The relevant departments of Shanghai decided that the streetlights on the main landscape roads in the city center should be equipped with energy-saving intelligent lighting systems during this summer's peak electricity consumption. There are indications that the smart lighting market outlook will be more optimistic. Remote control has become an important symbol of the era of remote control.

It is reported that although the intelligent lighting technology has considerable complexity, at least three to four companies have reached the practical level of domestic technology. Foreign companies engaged in intelligent lighting, such as Lutron in the United States, Bonzi in Australia, and companies such as Thorne and ABB have also completed technological breakthroughs long ago. Technology: The advantages of wireless network type are obvious. It is understood that the application of PC, IC, IT and other modern technologies in the switching technology can add new functions such as wireless remote control and brightness stepless adjustment to the lamps. The intelligent control technology of lighting and lighting should also be applied. Born. At present, in the market, from the perspective of the composition of the lighting control system, there are mainly bus type, power line carrier type, wireless network type and the like. From the perspective of technology development, wireless network technology has unique advantages. In recent years, it has developed rapidly in the IT field and has become a new hot spot in the IT industry and the semiconductor industry.

Intelligent lighting: lighting products will enter the "remote control era"

It is reported that ST Semiconductor, an internationally renowned semiconductor manufacturer, is preparing to introduce a control chip for lighting control that combines radio frequency functions. Intelligent lighting control system products using wireless network technology have recently appeared in front of consumers. The MCO intelligent scene lighting control system launched by Germany's Mago has recently entered the Chinese market. The intelligent features of its products are mainly reflected in the following aspects: the function of adjusting and controlling the combined lights according to the scene is realized; the personalized setting is realized: “watching TV”, “reserving guests” and “dinner” can be set. , "away from home" and other lighting scenarios, switch mode can choose computer, remote control, light touch button switch, infrared automatic sensor switch, etc. to one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one flexible control of lighting scenarios; The stepless brightness adjustment and automatic delay function of the system luminaire, the memory function of the power failure state and the locking function of the switch state make the system safer and more reliable. Price: There is still a lot of space for compressible intelligent lighting. The current price is relatively high, which is an important factor for it to enter the homes of ordinary people. It is understood that the most expensive home smart lighting is currently a foreign brand, about 1,000 yuan / road, the general three-bedroom apartment, need 20 roads. That is to say, a set of intelligent lighting system needs 20,000 yuan. At present, the normal price of domestic intelligent lighting products is about 100 to 200 yuan, but the current product promotion efforts are far from enough.

The wireless network lighting control system is a home intelligent network control system that uses radio to communicate. The control signals sent by each system control unit are transmitted by radio waves, and each system control unit receives the propagation information, and then according to the system communication protocol. Perform the corresponding actions to achieve intelligent network control. As with the power line carrier solution, since there is no dedicated network cable, installation or expansion is very simple. This solution can even be battery-powered, without connecting the power cable, which is very flexible and convenient, and also reduces the overall application cost of the user.
