Compared with traditional light sources, LEDs have intelligent control features. The key to combining LED and lighting control is to use its flexibility and artistry. Through intelligent control, the matching of light and color is realized, and lighting will also be separated from the current simple functional lighting stage to realize intelligent lighting. Intelligent lighting is to realize the automation and intelligence of lighting through software technology without changing the hardware and wiring. In the lighting energy-saving control, it can better ensure the uniformity of lighting effects and prolong the service life of the lamps. Because of the above conditions, LED light sources have become one of the most popular types of light sources used in today's green buildings.
As one of the exciting sessions of the 2010 Shanghai International New Light Source & New Energy Lighting Forum, “Professional Lighting Design and Intelligent Control System Solutions†conference, Philips Lighting Electronics (Australia) Brett Annesley introduced Philips' advanced lighting solutions in the field of architecture. Philips Lighting, which is committed to promoting green business in various industries, has actively promoted the concept and application of “GreenBuilding†in recent years. It has actively promoted and promoted the overall development of green building lighting, and has formed a complete solution to achieve green building using LED lighting solutions. The use of networked wireless devices in buildings to implement control techniques for large-scale lighting systems is also one of the overall sustainable energy management control methods for green buildings. There have been successful cases abroad. Experts from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have demonstrated smart lighting systems and the overall sustainable energy management control approach for green buildings. From the report of the international company at the meeting, we can see that using intelligent control to provide a wider range of service business has become one of the strategies of major companies.
Although there are many control systems and equipments currently used in functional lighting and landscape lighting in China, the brand integration level is still relatively low, and it is still in its infancy. The number of brand companies that can truly integrate architectural, energy efficiency, and LED aspects is not enough. In addition, the project implementation and acceptance criteria have yet to be unified. These issues need to be further resolved in the development. It is believed that as more and more IC hardware and software companies actively participate in LED applications, LED intelligent control systems will form the capability of system development, and the inter-industry inter-permeability will become more apparent.
Innovative design and intelligent control will undoubtedly build more marketable and commercially valuable platforms for green and energy-saving LEDs. However, whether it is to achieve illumination or innovative design, human comfort and safety are the first, and “people-oriented†will be an important requirement and concept for LED development. Adopting new light sources and energy sources that are more efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly, while achieving the basic human lighting needs, the creation of new functional lighting and smart lighting will be the common pursuit of the lighting industry and LED people.
