A new generation of ambient lighting solutions

Many people may have encountered this embarrassment when they were young: after watching a horror movie, before turning off the lights and going to bed, suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, but because of fear of darkness, they kept holding back. Since then, the functional prototype of the smart light remote control switch has taken root in everyone's hearts. Demand is the decision-making factor in production, and the main function of the first generation of smart lights is to remotely switch the light through the mobile phone App. When the basic daily lighting needs are met, how will the next stage of smart lighting develop? This is a big topic that the smart lighting industry needs to explore in the future.

Data show that the market share of smart lighting in 2020 is close to US$10 billion, and it is predicted that the market share of smart lighting will exceed US$25 billion by 2026, with an average compound annual growth rate of 20%.

Constantly escalating consumption and experience demands have brought smart lighting into the next period of turbulence—ambience lighting. As the market share of ambient lighting continues to grow, more and more LED lighting manufacturers and manufacturing brands realize that the layout of the ambient lighting market is imminent.

The new atmosphere lighting solution will extend the intelligent lighting scene from a single fixed house decoration to the whole house and even outdoor atmosphere scenes, greatly expanding the application range of smart lighting products.

So what is the difference between the new generation of ambient lighting solutions released this time and previous lighting solutions?

In the future, smart lighting products will place more emphasis on upgradeability and durability, and will gradually develop towards the ‘people-oriented’ trend, bringing more happiness to users. "

Compared with traditional intelligent lighting solutions, ambient lighting is destined to be a product with high added value and high playability. After being intelligent, it can bring a qualitative leap in experience.

Take string lights as an example. At present, smart string lights are highly playable ambient lighting products on the market, which are mainly used for festivals or various party occasions. On the surface, the smart light string looks no different from the traditional light string, but it does not simply move the traditional light string to a mobile phone to control it. The new graffiti smart light string solution supports dynamic UI design, multi-scenario selection, multi-mode music rhythm, single-point control, smear painting and other functions, which greatly improves the playability and diversity of the product, and allows users to use App and voice , Remote control and other ways to control the led light string.

At the same time, the plasticity, wide-angle luminescence and portability of smart light strings allow users to apply these products to more indoor and outdoor scenarios. To give a simple example, Mr. Tan pasted a heart-shaped smart light string on the wall of the room, and successfully connected to the Smart App via Bluetooth. At this time, when Mr. Tan plays a song through the music App, the light string will be rhythmic with the rhythm of the music. If Mr. Tan feels that the lighting atmosphere is not very suitable for the current environment, he can switch between holiday mode, grassland mode, romantic mode, etc. through the graffiti smart app. Not only that, Mr. Tan can also decorate the string of lights on the Christmas tree, his own balcony or yard, and provide a full online atmosphere experience for friends to hold festive parties, birthday parties, barbecue parties and other activities.

Although smart light strings have diverse functions, for traditional lighting manufacturers, independent research and development costs for intelligent light string development are not a small expenditure. Compared with traditional light strings, the development threshold of smart light strings is relatively high, involving technologies such as communication modules, code implementation, and voice recognition. In response to this problem, a smart light string 0 code development program was provided to customers. Even if customers do not have any smart device development experience, they can still use IoT cloud development platform to quickly realize product intelligence.

In addition to smart light strings, smart splicing lights are also one of the most popular ambient light products. Like traditional splicing lights, smart splicing lights can be arranged and combined into different shapes like building blocks or puzzles. The difference is that the real shape combined by the smart splicing lights will be displayed on the Smart App, and the user can set the color remotely without any manual debugging.

For example, Mr. Tan used a smart light block to splice a "horse" pattern on the wall of the room, and the pattern will be displayed on the Graffiti Smart App on Mr. Tan's mobile phone simultaneously. On this App, Mr. Tan can individually control the color of each light board, making the gameplay of a single product colorful and diversified, extending unlimited possibilities.

However, the more feature-rich products, the higher the R&D cost and difficulty. In the past, smart splicing lights needed to be embedded with MCU chips to control the on/off and color status of each individual bulb. However, the difficulty and cost of embedded development have discouraged many traditional manufacturing companies.

The new smart splicing lamp solution, through an innovative algorithm, can make each lamp board of the splicing lamp be individually controlled without implanting the MCU, which saves a lot of costs for manufacturers. The splicing lamp solution also provides various types and shapes of lighting templates. After the manufacturer selects a suitable template solution, with the help of the low-code development tools, a smart splicing lamp product can be quickly and cost-effectively implemented.

The new generation of ambient lighting solutions have greatly enriched the product form of graffiti ambient lighting. Under the background of the new era of intelligent connection of all things, technology engines are used to drive the development of the ambient lighting industry, and jointly create a healthier and more comfortable light environment for consumers .
