What is Smart LED Lighting

Brief Introduction

Smart LED lights can significantly reduce usage costs for homes and businesses. It can be connected to a local area network and can communicate with smart phones or computers. People can use mobile phones or computers to remotely control the brightness and color of the bulbs, and even program the bulbs to achieve maximum energy saving.

Features of smart LED lights

High light energy conversion efficiency

Smart LED bulbs have higher light energy conversion efficiency than traditional incandescent lamps. For most incandescent lamps, each watt of power can only emit 5-20 lumens of luminous flux. Fluorescent tubes can emit 40-70 lumens per watt. In contrast, LED bulbs can emit 20-100 lumens per watt.

Intelligent remote control

People can use mobile phones or computers to remotely control the brightness and color of the bulbs, and even program the bulbs to achieve maximum energy saving purposes, such as turning off the power at a specific time of the day. For people who travel a lot, you can also turn on or off the light bulb to deter potential thieves.

Can change the light color

Smart LED bulbs can easily change the color temperature of the light, and can emit bright and soft light. You can also change the color of the light arbitrarily by combining LED bulbs of different colors and adjusting the relative brightness between them.

App control

Australian inventors have developed an LED bulb that can be switched on and off by a smartphone and change colors. This bulb is easy to install and has a life span of 25 years.

This smart light bulb called LIFX can be connected to a smart phone application (App). Users can change the color of the light bulb according to their preferences, and can also preset the time to wake up and turn on the light. At the same time, the light can be controlled with a traditional switch.

Are smart lights worth it?

With the rapid advancement of science and technology in recent years, society has entered the era of intelligence. From autonomous vehicles, smart homes, to the Internet of things and smart robots, artificial intelligence is everywhere and affects our lives all the time. Lighting, as an important symbol of the rapid economic development and civilization of contemporary society, has now entered the era of intelligence, that is, smart lighting.

So is smart lighting worthwhile for today’s society and family life? The answer is yes.

Can turn on the lights on the way home

After get off work, you can turn on the lights at home on the road. Even when you are alone, you will feel the warmth of family waiting for you at home. The mobile phone can be used to check the dynamics of the lights at home at any time, which is very suitable for families with children or married families. Using the indoor electricity situation, you can know in time whether your partner and children are safely home.

Fun toys for kids and youth

As a smart enthusiast, when I bought the smart light bulb, I just wanted to try it out. By the way, I shared my experience with netizens. I didn’t expect the child to play more vigorously than me, and I would discuss how it feels. , Smart bulbs are also a good choice as a toy.

Obvious energy saving effect

The functions are diverse and practical, and the price difference between smart bulbs and ordinary LED lights is not much, but it is still obvious in terms of power saving. The power consumption of an LED light source lamp does not exceed 10W, and the life span can exceed 80,000 hours, and the product itself is also environmentally friendly and suitable for long-term use.

Indoor scene DIY

When you have friends at home, you can use smart bulbs to change the light configuration in your home at any time. The colorful lights match up with different feelings. When you have a party with friends, you can also feel like a party. Generally, colorful lights are not installed in the home, and smart bulbs can change freely and are very convenient to use in different scenarios.

Four control technologies for intelligent lighting

Smart home products on the market are emerging one after another, with new ideas one after another. Among them, the working principle of smart lighting is rich and diverse, the technology is relatively mature, and the production cost is relatively low, so it has become a high-profile link in the smart home. At present, smart lighting products on the market are not only rich in types, but also have a considerable number of consumer groups.

Intelligent lighting, or through the intelligent switch to control the lamp, break through the limitations of the traditional manual switch when in use; or turn on the lighting source through sound, remote control, human body induction and other methods to provide consumers with a more convenient and humane home service.

Remote control lighting

Remote control lighting is to control lighting equipment through radio signals, which is simple and convenient. With the maturity of technology, digital wireless remote control technology has replaced traditional mechanical manual switches, and has gradually become a trend pursued by modern people.

Remote control switch-to install a remote control for the lamp. There are usually two remote control methods for remote control switches: one is to use the mobile client to remotely control the switch, and the other is to equip the switch socket and transmitter at the time of purchase. In comparison, the cost of the latter technology is relatively low, and the finished product is cheaper. It consists of a movable remote control transmitter and a switch receiver fixed on the wall. All functions can be operated directly on the wall switch or remotely controlled by the remote control. This greatly facilitates the user. Controlling the lamps is like It’s as easy as changing the TV channel with the remote control.

Remote control switches generally use wireless digital identification technology, and each switch works independently and will not interfere with each other. Some people may be worried: the direction of the remote control is too difficult to find out, which may affect the receiver’s sensing. In fact, this kind of worry is unnecessary.

Because the radio frequency remote control has no directionality, the signal can penetrate the wall and has no radiation, and the switch can be controlled by pressing the button in any corner of the room. Some people think that changing the switch seems too cumbersome, but the actual operation is very simple. Simply connect the switch to the lamp during installation, and it will not destroy the overall decoration layout of the room.

Say goodbye to LED remote control lights and circuit modification

At present, there are many types of smart LED remote control lights, including bedroom ceiling lights, living room crystal lights, light strips, bulbs, tubes, etc. The controller is also divided into mobile phones or equipped with transmitter control. The LED remote control light further solves the problems of many users who are unwilling to reinstall the socket switch and modify the circuit line.

Take the remote control bulb as an example. The LED remote control lamp has built-in high-power LED lamp beads, and the lamp holder is equipped with a wireless receiving module, connected with an encoder and a switch module that controls the light to turn on and off. Compared with the remote control switch, the remote control lamp directly installs the receiver in the lamp head, eliminating the trouble of wiring modification. The remote control distance of common LED lamps controlled by the transmitter is about 10 meters, and brand remote control lights can reach more than 15 meters. Such a control distance can fully meet the needs of ordinary families. The remote control lamp controlled by the mobile phone APP breaks the limitation of distance and can check the usage of the lamp anytime and anywhere. When there are too many lamps in the home or store, you can also group the lamps to manage a group of lamps with the same device.

Induction lighting

Human body induction is also called infrared induction. The human body has a constant body temperature, generally around 37 degrees, so it emits infrared rays of a specific wavelength, and human body induction lighting controls the brightness of lamps by capturing this specific wavelength of infrared light.

Different from the remote control switch that controls the light on and off at any time through the button, the biggest feature of the infrared human body induction switch is the delay lighting. Because the human body cannot always stand in front of the switch to keep the light on, and once it leaves the infrared sensing range, it cannot turn off the light immediately, so how to turn off the light after turning it on? This requires delay lighting to control the lighting time. During the delay period, if someone is active within the effective sensing range, the switch will continue to be turned on. After the person leaves, the load will be automatically turned off after a delay, realizing the intelligent control function of “lights on when people come and lights off when people go”. Another feature of infrared sensor switch is the application of photosensitive control,

switch automatic metering, no induction when the light is strong. It usually works when the outside light is below 15 lumens, but some all-weather infrared sensor lights suitable for basements or garages will not add light-sensitive control.

It should be noted that the false alarm rate of the human body induction switch is greatly related to the installation position and  installation method. Therefore, when installing the human body induction switch, it should be far away from electric appliances such
as heating, air conditioner, refrigerator, and stove, and the switch should not directly face the window to prevent False alarms may be caused by the disturbance of hot air outside the window and people walking around.

The human body induction cabinet light has high brightness and low energy consumption, high temperature resistance

Many people think that the human body induction lamp is only suitable for special areas such as corridors and balconies. In fact, with the development of technology, the infrared sensing distance and sensing angle of the human body sensor lamp are constantly improving. Because of its high sensitivity and time-lapse lighting characteristics, many families choose to install human body sensors in baby beds, cabinets and other places. light. The USB rechargeable cabinet light is installed in the cabinet. Once someone walks into the sensing range, the dedicated sensor detects the changes brought about by the infrared spectrum of the human body, and it will automatically turn on the lighting source. If the person does not leave and continues to move, the light will always remain bright and treat others. It will automatically close after leaving.

Some cabinet lights are available in warm white and cold light to suit the lighting needs of different seasons. Under the same power, the LED light source is not only brighter than ordinary fluorescent lamps, but also has low power consumption, high temperature resistance and very energy saving. The LED light source has low light decay, high color rendering index, no harmful metals in the lamp beads, and easy recycling and processing of waste, which is very environmentally friendly.

Combination lighting

Infrared sensor switch delay function to control lighting time

With the development of the field of intelligent lighting, the combined lighting composed of multiple light sources has developed very mature. Whether it is the combination control of all the lamps in the room or the color change of a single lamp product, it has reached a very high level of application.

Scene switch multiple modes for your choice

Scene switch can be described as a function integrator of smart switch. In terms of materials, the surface of the smart scene switch is mostly made of ceramic paint panels, and flame-retardant PC materials are used inside, which brings a full range of safety protection, waterproof, fireproof and anti-leakage; in terms of hardware, smart dimming is more in line with the user’s needs for luminosity, and
it can be adjusted in time Dim lightness, energy saving and environmental protection; in terms of software, remote control is realized. Through binding switch linkage, wireless free combination of multiple switches controlling one device or one switch controlling multiple devices can be realized, and all lamps can be controlled on one terminal. In addition to remote control, the infrared intrusion detector of the smart scene switch can also keenly capture human activities and then control the lights.

The most attractive thing about the scene switch is its humanized intelligent design. It can switch multiple scenes freely. The color, brightness and number of lights can be freely combined, which can meet the needs of any scene in a modern family. For example, turn on the home theater mode to dim the lights as a whole; turn on the ballroom mode, the lights can not only change the color, but also the flashing function can make the dance climax; during family dinners, the warm orange light can create a warm dining atmosphere; turn on Reading mode, adjust the light to a soft lumen that does not hurt the eyes; in the dead of night, turn on the sleep mode to turn off all the lights with one button, which is convenient and safe.

The ever-changing smart color lights will open your eyes

As we all know, color can not only affect mood, but also affect people’s perception of the surrounding environment. In the hot summer, the cold white light makes people feel cool and refreshing; in the cold winter, the orange light makes people feel warm. Some people like melancholic blue, and some people like fresh pink. In order to meet people’s various needs for lighting colors, a very user-friendly smart color palette has been launched on the market, which can adjust the brightness of heating and cooling, and 16 million color changes will make you great Eye-opener.

Toning lamps are mostly indoor bedside table lamps. In order to facilitate the use of children, buttons are installed on the top of the lamp, which is simple and convenient to operate. In addition, the smart color light can also be controlled by the mobile phone to switch the light and color. After connecting with the mobile phone’s Bluetooth or WIFI, the table light can be directly adjusted on the mobile phone. Wake up at night, turn on the phone to light up the intimate night light, which is soft and does not dazzle your eyes. It provides basic lighting without disturbing others’ rest. The streamer setting allows the four colors to flow smoothly and easily create a romantic mood. Delayed turning off the light can be Make the light go out after the owner is asleep.

Touch lighting

Touch devices usually have a built-in touch sensor chip. The current mainstream technology for touch sensor panels uses capacitive sensing technology, which changes the capacitance through the touch of a finger to control switches or lamps.

Touch switch insulated waterproof bathroom companion

The advantage of touch switch is insulation and waterproof. Many families use touch switches in bathrooms, kitchens and other spaces, and with the integration of technology, touch panels used in many bathrooms can achieve multiple functions at the same time, such as real-time display of bathroom temperature, control of air heating, and lighting. Make the most of the waterproof function of the touch panel.

In order to demonstrate intelligence, many touch switches are equipped with mobile phone remote control. The status of all lamps in the home is displayed on the mobile phone. A mobile phone can control all the lamps in the house, and the wall radio frequency breaks all signal barriers. In the cold winter, getting up and turning on the light is a very courageous thing, and the smart switch can be set on the mobile phone to wake up the function regularly, and turn on the light regularly in the morning. The timing anti-theft function of the smart switch also makes people’s eyes brighter. Setting the light to turn on and off regularly can create the illusion of someone in the house, which can effectively confuse the thief.
