Mountains and rains are coming
Benwei LED Lighting: In recent years, the enthusiasm for smart cities has been at an all-time high, but smart lighting has always been "vacuous", which is inseparable from the troubled waters of some companies, but there are still many problems, which will lead to the next downturn. What is the reason why it is difficult for smart lighting to land?
First, it is difficult to integrate across borders and fall into the embarrassing situation of "information silos". Even within the lighting industry, there is currently a lack of a complete set of standards for LED lighting itself, and smart lighting has attracted the participation of lighting, home furnishing, Internet companies and different government departments. It is still chaotic. There are inaccessible barriers between information of various departments in China, and there is a lack of sharing mechanisms between them. This situation is also one of the bottlenecks in building a smart city.
Second, the imbalance between input and output makes it difficult for enterprises to make profits. According to data, China's investment in smart cities has already exceeded 500 billion yuan, and it is expected that the investment will rise to 1.1 trillion yuan in the future. However, the current domestic methods for building smart cities to solve capital problems are mainly EMC projects and PPP models. Attracting the entry of social capital through the government has certain limitations in obtaining funds. At this stage, companies involved in smart cities are mostly in the stage of occupying market share and acquiring users. Since profits cannot cover the operating expenses of enterprises, there are very few winners in the industry now.
The third is that the product functions are out of touch with the actual needs and cannot hit the user's pain points. The current home lighting is still the most basic dimming and color matching, and it is equipped with different forms of APP software, which complicates simple dimming. The shortage of APPs in life continues to increase, and users have gradually begun to dislike APPs; and in the construction of smart cities, smart street lights as the basic carrier are also full of various functions, but the real humanized intelligent control and energy saving The above can not achieve a breakthrough.
Fourth, there is a lack of guarantee of product quality, and enterprises have fallen into a crisis of confidence. At present, the construction of smart cities is mainly carried out through the EMC or PPP model, and most of the countries involved in the field of smart lighting, especially in the lighting industry, are small and medium-sized enterprises, lacking due technology accumulation and research and development, and product quality is not guaranteed. And this is also the most important part. Judging from the projects that have been implemented so far, it is a very serious problem that the product quality cannot meet expectations. Other problems can be solved slowly, but once the quality problem occurs, it may block the enterprise from the door of smart lighting forever.
There is a long way to go, and smart lighting needs to redouble its efforts. With the power of holding a group and the power of dreams, riding the wind and waves, and forging ahead!
