Research shows that smart lighting systems are growing in popularity among consumers, with significant growth in adoption over the past five years alone. The connected lighting category is growing, and this evidence shows that the lighting category has become popular with consumers across the board.

Consumers are generally interested in reducing energy consumption, with 40% saying they want to reduce energy consumption, but don't know how to do it, and don't want to put too much effort into it.

In the past three years, the demand for all connected lighting equipment functions has increased, and the demand for smart lighting products to be used with other smart home devices has also increased fourfold.

In addition, nearly 1/3 of lighting buyers or system owners see interoperability as an important factor in their purchase.

Usually, the consumer's job is to integrate lighting control and scenes through applications and assistants. Matter is a new industry standard that promises to make integration easier.

The difference between intelligent lighting and general lighting

There are some significant differences between smart lighting and general lighting. Smart lighting is a way to use advanced technology to control and optimize lighting systems to make them more intelligent, efficient and convenient. The following are the main differences between smart lighting and general lighting:

Control method: The smart lighting system can be controlled in a variety of ways, including voice control, smart phone applications, sensors and remote controls. Ordinary lighting can usually only be controlled by a switch.

Automation: Intelligent lighting can be automatically adjusted according to environmental conditions and user needs. For example, automatically adjust brightness or color temperature based on light intensity and time. Ordinary lighting, on the other hand, requires manual adjustment.

Energy-saving effect: Intelligent lighting systems usually have energy-saving functions, which can automatically turn off or adjust the brightness as needed, thereby reducing energy consumption. Intelligent lighting can also optimize lighting effects and reduce energy waste through intelligent regulation. Ordinary lighting is relatively simple and does not have intelligent energy-saving functions.

Connectivity: Smart lighting systems can be connected to other smart home devices to form a smart home ecosystem. Through interconnection, users can achieve more intelligent and personalized lighting control. Ordinary lighting usually does not have this interconnection.

Flexibility: The intelligent lighting system is more flexible and can be adjusted and changed at any time according to user needs, while ordinary lighting is relatively fixed.

Security: Smart lighting can automatically switch lights by simulating the user's state at home, increasing home security and reducing potential intrusion risks. Smart lighting can also be set to time switch lights, so that the family looks like someone is at home, to prevent empty house theft. Ordinary lighting cannot achieve these functions.

In summary, the intelligent lighting system has more advantages than the ordinary lighting system, such as intelligence, energy saving, interconnectivity and flexibility, and can provide a more intelligent, convenient and comfortable lighting experience.
