Illuminate Your Environment: Understanding the Power of Lighting and Smart Lighting Design

Many times, we like or dislike a person, and we don’t know why, and in the end, all the reasons are “concluded” into “feelings”. In fact, the same is true for good environments. And the factor that determines the “feeling” is precisely the environmental element that most people rarely pay attention to – lighting.

I’m a very sensitive person to lighting quality.

When eating in a restaurant, I get really uncomfortable when there is a mix of light sources with wildly different color temperatures in the room. Many people still can’t tell the relationship between color temperature and brightness in lighting, and even spend every day of their lives in an overly bright or dim space without knowing it.The reading lights above the beds in many hotels often use direct light, which stings people’s eyes.

Over the years, every time I pass by the German school in Liangmaqiao, Beijing, I will be attracted by the clean, bright, warm, and not yellowish light projected by that building. And that color temperature of the light for the vast majority of people, does not have.

The speed at which these conditions have changed over the past ten years has been very slow. Seven or eight years ago, a “fan” of my Weibo asked me in a private message: “Why are the home environments in many American movies warm and soft but not dim?” Later, I counted the living rooms of dozens of American film and television dramas and found that each living room has an average of 3.6 light sources (including desk lamps, floor lamps, wall lamps, etc.). Since then, I have understood one thing: lighting is a very particular thing. The temperature, brightness, and darkness of the light, the positional relationship of the light source, and the number of irradiation angles, these elements need to be reflected very accurately so that a room can present its best and have the vibe it deserves.

According to my observation, in the past one or two years, people’s cognition and practice of lighting are undergoing subtle changes, and they are beginning to pay attention to and notice various details of lighting. Many professional and intelligent lighting products have emerged as the times require. This is a comprehensive change from demand to supply, and the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain have been waiting for this day for too long. I believe that this includes you, as well as looking forward to the mature development of intelligent lighting.

Next, I will explain to you the relevant knowledge of lighting comprehensively and in place, including some basic common sense you know. Whether you are a designer or a reader who wants to have a comfortable environment, I believe this common sense will definitely help you have a better living environment.

A comfortable home or commercial light environment requires good lighting products on the one hand and professional lighting design on the other hand. Only with good lighting products and good lighting design at the same time can the quality of the light environment and the user’s light environment experience be truly improved. In the past, good lighting products and professional lighting designers served a small number of customers such as commercial properties or high-end villa owners. Most home users in most countries in the world do not have the opportunity to obtain such services and experiences, which leads to unsatisfactory home lighting conditions in many countries around the world and even affects their normal life and health.

In recent years, products in the lighting industry have changed significantly in terms of technology. With the low cost of Internet of Things technology, the cost of intelligent lighting control has dropped significantly, and it has become possible to enter thousands of households. More and more lighting companies have begun to enter the smart industry, providing consumers with a wealth of smart product choices. At the same time, we have also seen that many lighting product concepts originally applied in the commercial and professional fields, such as professional lenses and other technologies, have now been gradually applied to household products, greatly expanding the choice of home lighting design. Although there are many brands and types of smart lighting products on the market, there are also some good ones. Designers also need to obtain guidelines for choosing products among many well-known lighting brands and products.

There are not many bloggers in the current lighting design, especially those who are in line with consumer habits, and even fewer bloggers who can fully utilize the advantages of smart lighting applications. Home decoration designers and lighting designers working on the front line urgently need practical smart lighting manuals for home users in most countries around the world to improve service levels so that more consumers can experience the fun of smart lighting.

In response to these problems, the blogger introduced how to design intelligent lighting scenes and how to maximize intelligence in lighting design through scene analysis, practical operations, and detailed steps based on a brief introduction to the basic theory of lighting. Advantages, and how to choose products suitable for different user needs among many smart lighting products, can fill the gaps in smart lighting design blog posts on the market and enable more lighting designers, home decoration designers, lighting engineering companies, and supermarket managers to get started quickly.

My dear customers, how can you get started quickly? I will provide three practical examples that you will understand at a glance.What can smart lighting do?What is the importance of smart lighting?

The first example is about waking up in the morning. Instead of using the ringtone of your mobile phone, consider using a “light alarm clock” because light is the most important regulator of the biological clock and aligns better with the natural laws of the human body.

If there are elderly people at home, it’s important to ensure appropriate indoor illumination and achieve uniform brightness in each area. Select lamps with a high color rendering index and anti-glare features. Additionally, consider adding human body induction lights along the frequently used paths of the elderly to ensure their safety and convenience.

In the “sleep aid mode,” adjust the lighting according to the different heights of the space. Begin by dimming the lights in the higher section, such as ceiling lamps, to reduce the overall brightness. After a short delay, dim the lighting in the middle section, such as bedside wall lamps, to create a suitable reading environment before bedtime. Finally, dim the light strip under the bed and turn off all the lights in the house.

Do you think three dry goods? Did it actually help you? In the future, I hope these examples will give you an easy to understand how to get started quickly.

Next, the blog post made full use of the Internet and short video related technologies to produce relevant scene demonstrations and practical step-by-step explanation videos. You only need to scan the QR code on WhatsApp and get in touch with us to watch them through online video. If you encounter difficulties in the process of reading the blog and in the actual application, you can communicate with us by email. It is hoped that this new interactive method can reduce the confusion of more professional friends about the use of smart products, complete the transformation and upgrading faster, and let smart lighting go to thousands of households.

In addition to color, style, material, and air quality, lighting is the next environmental element that you must take practical actions to improve.
