Lighting is one of the important symbols of human civilization. It not only provides people with light, but also creates a beautiful living environment for them. With the advancement of science and technology and the development of society, the forms and functions of lighting are constantly changing and innovating, from the initial torches, candles, and oil lamps to later incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, halogen lamps, and now LED lamps and OLED lamps. Lamps, laser lights, etc., lighting efficiency, effect, energy saving, environmental protection and other aspects have been significantly improved. In the field of lighting applications, outdoor lighting is an important part. It involves many aspects such as urban landscape, safety, transportation, tourism, etc., and has an important impact on the image and quality of the city.
The development history of outdoor lighting can be divided into the following stages:
Phase 1: traditional outdoor lighting. At this stage, incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, etc. are mainly used as light sources for outdoor lighting. The lighting control method is mainly manual switch or timer switch. The lighting function is mainly basic lighting and decoration. The lighting effect is mainly a single color and brightness. The efficiency and energy saving are low, and the environmental adaptability and intelligence of lighting are poor.
Phase 2: Semi-intelligent outdoor lighting. At this stage, LED lights are mainly used as the light source for outdoor lighting. The lighting control method is mainly a sensor or remote control. The lighting function is mainly lighting and decoration. The lighting effect is mainly colorful colors and brightness, lighting efficiency and energy saving. The lighting has higher environmental adaptability and intelligence.
The third stage: intelligent outdoor lighting. At this stage, OLED lights, laser lights, etc. are mainly used as light sources for outdoor lighting. The lighting control methods are mainly the Internet of Things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, etc. The lighting functions are mainly lighting, decoration, interaction, customization, etc. The lighting effect is mainly It has dynamic color and brightness, extremely high lighting efficiency and energy saving, and extremely strong environmental adaptability and intelligence.
At present, outdoor intelligent lighting has become a hot spot and trend in the field of lighting. It can not only provide people with a more beautiful, comfortable and safe lighting environment, but also provide cities with more intelligent, energy-saving and environmentally friendly lighting management and optimization. The technology and applications of outdoor smart lighting are still innovating and developing, and there will be more possibilities and surprises in the future.
