Commercial lighting is a concept relative to household lighting, and the places are generally public places, such as office buildings, hotels, supermarkets, shopping malls, schools, parking garages, museums, etc. The goals of commercial lighting often depend on the application occasion, such as contrast, color temperature, power and other requirements, as well as energy saving requirements. With the application of Internet of Things technology, the smart system has given commercial lighting a dynamic and variable nature. We use the big data platform SAAS and the zigbee system/DALI system to interact with users in a specific program and achieve energy saving effects, playing an increasingly important role in commercial lighting.
The development of smart commercial lighting has landed earlier and developed faster than that of the household field. According to statistics and forecasts from relevant institutions, the global smart lighting market size in 2017 was 4.6 billion US dollars, of which smart commercial lighting accounted for about 60%. It will grow steadily in the next few years. By 2020, the global smart lighting market size will reach 13.4 billion US dollars. Compared with smart outdoor, household and public lighting, smart commercial lighting still has the highest share, accounting for more than half.
Application scenarios of smart systems
In commercial lighting, there is a need for intelligent control in some occasions, which is also the premise for the implementation of smart systems. The current application of smart systems in commercial lighting is mainly energy saving, scene control and centralized monitoring.
In energy-saving occasions, the control methods generally used are schedule control, human sensor control and illumination control.
For example, warehouse lighting, a warehouse with tens of thousands of square meters, shelves are arranged in sequence, the traditional way is that the lights are always on, and the delivery personnel or forklifts enter and exit from the aisles, but in fact, there are not people in every aisle at all times of the day, and many aisles are empty most of the time, so there is no need to keep all the lights on. The result is that the electricity bill is very expensive. For a warehouse operating company, the electricity bill for warehouses across the country is a huge expense in a year.
The same occasions include underground parking lots, office buildings, etc. A common feature of these occasions is that people are not always there, so there is no need to keep the lights on.
Haochen Lighting Manufacturer is the first advocate of the concept of IoT lighting and the provider of networking technology, providing products and solutions for smart sensing buildings. For example, in warehouses, the presence of people or forklifts is sensed, and the lights in the corresponding aisles are turned on, while the lights in other areas where no one is active are turned off; in underground garages, people and vehicles are sensed, and the lighting in the corresponding areas is turned on. In the field of office buildings, in addition to detecting the presence of people, timetables and light sensor controllers can also be added to save energy.
Such smart solutions not only improve the economic benefits of enterprises, but also meet the global goals of controlling greenhouse gases and protecting the environment. In this way, we not only realize the interconnection of things and people and things, but also set different lighting modes in the background according to different scenes. It is another upgrade of lighting energy saving since the innovation of LED lighting, which is more intelligent and humane. It conforms to the concept of low-carbon and environmental protection in today’s society. As a pioneer and leader, Haochen Lighting plays a very important role in smart commercial lighting.
In the case of scene control,
for example, a banquet hall is a typical application. The banquet hall of a large hotel is also called a multi-functional hall, which will host various activities,
such as industry forums, product launches, corporate training, birthday parties, wedding banquets, etc. Each activity has different requirements for the effect of lighting. In the same activity, different stages also have different requirements for lighting. For example, during product launch, there are different requirements for lighting during the guest entrance stage, product presentation stage, and intermission stage.
Meeting rooms also have similar scenarios, such as setting up meeting discussion mode, PPT presentation mode, intermission mode, and leaving mode.
Hotel lighting also has rest mode, regular mode, entertainment mode, early wake-up mode, etc.
Scene control allows lighting to dynamically adapt to current theme activities and achieve good activity results.
In centralized monitoring situations, mainly some large public places, such as office buildings, public areas of large shopping malls, etc., lighting is controlled on the main control platform to save manpower and time;
At the same time, the status of lighting work is monitored, such as when a lamp fails, the system reports it in a timely and proactive manner. Relevant management staff can receive information and send someone to repair it immediately if there is a problem. Centralized management of lighting saves time, effort and efficiency. It greatly improves work efficiency, saves human resources, and moves towards intelligence and innovation. Let the lamps “speak” and feedback information in a timely manner.
