With the implementation and development of the Internet of things, private customization, low-carbon life and other concepts, our life is also gradually moving towards intelligence. Smart home is a typical representative of intelligent life scenes, and smart home is naturally inseparable from intelligent lighting.
What is intelligent lighting?
We can roughly define intelligent lighting: personalized control of lamps and lanterns through automatic control technology, such as timing switch, remote control switch, changing brightness and color temperature according to scene, etc., to provide us with comfortable, personalized and convenient lighting.
①：Convenient and fast
For intelligent lighting system, remote control and mobile phone control are the first advantages worth mentioning. As mentioned above, the timing switch, remote control switch and random replacement of the color temperature of the light source can be completed with one key. For example, after you go out, you may forget to turn off the light, but you are not sure whether it is turned off or not, and people are already driving on the road, you can turn off the light remotely through mobile phones.
②：Energy conservation and environmental protection
The intelligent lighting control system can automatically or manually adjust the brightness of lamps and lanterns by accurately calculating the illumination requirements in a certain space and the corresponding time period, so as to meet the demands of high efficiency and energy saving to the greatest extent. This intelligent adjustment will make effective use of outdoor natural light and adjust the illuminance to an appropriate value, which not only ensures sufficient illuminance, but also realizes energy conservation and environmental protection.
③：Extend lamp service life
Generally speaking, the damage of light source is mostly caused by the fluctuation of current and voltage. The intelligent lighting system can effectively suppress this fluctuation and limit the voltage, so as to reduce the damage to lamps to a great extent. On the other hand, the impact current will also cause damage to the light source, and the intelligent lighting control system can also effectively avoid this impact.
Generally, under the control of intelligent lighting system, the service life of lamps can be extended by about 3 times. Accordingly, the replacement and maintenance costs of lamps and lanterns are reduced, and unnecessary troubles are saved.
④：Diverse lighting effects and greatly improved quality
When we talked about home lighting and office lighting, we mentioned the impact of lighting quality on our work and study. The intelligent control system will automatically control the spatial illumination in combination with natural light, making the overall spatial illumination more uniform and visually more natural.
On the other hand, we all know that as long as it is a lamp, there will be stroboscopic problems. The built-in electrical components of the intelligent dimming system can greatly reduce the impact of low-frequency flash on our human body and alleviate visual fatigue.
In addition, the lighting requirements may be different in different functional spaces, different working areas and different time periods. However, if we can be equipped with an intelligent lighting control system, we can use a set of systems and lamps to meet the needs of a variety of scenes and different people, which is a very efficient approach.
⑤：Convenient management
Most of the intelligent control systems can be controlled by remote control or mobile phone software, and the operation is very simple, even fool like. You can set the desired lighting effect at will within a relative range, and the editing and adjustment of various modes are digital, just like playing with the TV remote control at ordinary times. What’s more, as mentioned earlier, the replacement cycle of lamps is longer, and there is no need to replace and maintain lamps frequently.
⑥：Enhance happiness
In the long run, intelligent lighting can save us a large part of the cost in terms of electricity saving and lamps saving. In addition, under the intelligent lighting control system, the indoor lighting environment can be greatly improved, which also increases people’s sense of well-being, work efficiency and maintenance and management time, which is also part of the hidden advantages.
Lighting design is not just about choosing lights, it is also a job that is both technical and artistic.
