The world's largest lighting exhibition was held at the Frankfurt exhibition hall on March 3. Since it was first held in 1999, the Frankfurt Lighting Exhibition in Germany has been held every two years. It is the most important exhibition in the international professional field and has become the most important exhibition in the industry. One of the most influential international exhibitions. Light+Building connects the concepts of architecture and building integration technology, and combines three major product themes across fields - lighting, electrical engineering, and residential and building automation, providing a unique communication platform for the global industry. Frankfurt Messe brings together top companies and innovative products from all over the world. Therefore, for most people in the Chinese lighting industry, it has been 6 years since the exhibition. Chinese lighting companies are very enthusiastic about participating in German exhibitions.

This exhibition opened a total of ten exhibition halls 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, attracting a total of about 2,200 exhibitors from all over the world. Among them, 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 are lighting exhibition halls. Chinese companies are mainly concentrated in Hall 10. Different from previous years, there are also a considerable number of companies in Hall 4 and Hall 8. According to statistics, there are as many as 655 Chinese companies (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) participating in the exhibition, a record high, accounting for about 30% of the total number of exhibitors. By participating in the Frankfurt exhibition, people can better understand the cutting-edge trends and future development trends of the lighting industry.

 

The scale of this exhibition has shrunk a lot. The big brand Philips did not participate in the exhibition. Instead, more Chinese lighting companies came to the exhibition, setting a new record. Therefore, it also shows that the European economic environment is not good, and the large-scale participation of domestic companies in the exhibition also shows that Chinese companies are striving to seek more international development opportunities.

 

Of course, in addition to the scale, the second feeling of this exhibition is: environmental protection, energy saving and intelligence. Even the plastic bags with labels are no longer used in the exhibition. Environmental protection is not reflected in slogans. When you walk into the exhibition hall, you will find that environmental protection is displayed everywhere, such as the renewal and recycling of exhibition hall construction materials; in terms of energy saving, more lamps are equipped with smart lights. The application of the system achieves the effect of energy saving, and the other is to improve the light efficiency of the chip through technology.Intelligence is applied according to the environment and human needs!

Through the exhibition, I found that some lighting companies have also launched healthy spectrum, with a CRI of 98 full spectrum, but exhibitors still focused on products with a CRI of 80. Light health has not been widely publicized and applied, so it can be seen that light health The application abroad is still blank and will be a huge blue ocean market. Therefore, by observing the Frankfurt show, we can get a glimpse of the future development direction of the lighting industry.

 

First of all, energy saving is an important issue related to sustainable development and environmental protection for the lighting industry. As global energy shortages and environmental pollution problems become increasingly serious, energy-saving lighting technology has gradually become the focus of the industry. At present,as an efficient and energy-saving lighting solution, LED technology has been widely used. LED lighting has the advantages of high energy efficiency, long life, and mercury-free, compared with traditional incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps, it can save a lot of energy and reduce energy consumption. In the future, it is expected that LED technology will continue to make further breakthroughs in the lighting industry and become more popular and mature. In addition, new photoelectric technology and intelligent control systems also provide new possibilities for improving energy efficiency in the lighting industry. Through continuous innovation and application of new technologies, the lighting industry will play a more important role in the field of energy conservation and achieve more sustainable development.

 

Secondly, lighting intelligence has been unanimously recognized by the industry, and this Frankfurt exhibition also fully reflects this: dimming and color matching, intelligent control, smart lighting... the word smart gives lighting more excitement and value, and also make lighting products look more sophisticated.

 

However, we also know that the essence of lighting is light and its foundation is light source. Intelligent lighting changes the way light sources are controlled. This makes lighting expressions more diversified and colorful, and is the icing on the cake for lighting fixtures.

Healthy lighting is different. Light empowered by intelligent technology solves the problem of light control, including adjusting the light accordingly according to people's actions, emotions, and scenes, so that "the most appropriate light appears at the most appropriate time"! However, people's requirements for lighting also hope to bring comfort, safety and health, which requires light health technology to ensure and realize. Sunlight is the healthiest light. Intelligent control of lights can simulate various parameters of sunlight, simulate the energy and nutrition of sunlight in different time periods, simulate sunlight's exposure to different components of different human bodies, and simulate sunlight to prevent and treat the human body. Diseases... These all require light health technology to be realized. Therefore, intelligent light is actually a tool and a means, and its ultimate goal is to bring healthy light to people, which is beneficial to the physical and mental health of the human body.

The lighting industry has fully entered an era dominated by LED light sources. The characteristics of LED light sources are increasingly being discovered by industry professionals, allowing the lighting industry to present a variety of development styles. At present, the clean and healthy air, water pollution issues, and environmental protection issues have all received great attention from the Chinese people, but the health issues of lighting are still ignored by society! In fact, unhealthy light has profoundly affected the physical and mental health of Chinese people. First, myopia has become China’s “national disease”, affecting population quality and national security. The total number of people with myopia in my country is nearly 500 million, of which 60-70% of teenagers are myopic! Secondly, according to previous surveys by the World Health Organization, about 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression, and there are about 95 million depression patients in my country. The situation is not optimistic! Third, according to professional health big data, 70% of Chinese people are at risk of death from overwork, 76% of white-collar workers are in sub-health, 20% of Chinese people suffer from chronic diseases, and 22% of the causes of middle-aged death are cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. These health problems are all related to the body's weakened immunity and light!

For CASIO Light Health, it is very gratifying to see that the results of our innovative efforts have become widely recognized in the lighting industry today. After all, one flower blooming alone is not spring, and a hundred flowers blooming together fill the garden. The health industry alone requires more companies and brands to participate. As the founder of the light health industry, our research is now more in-depth. Light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology is the latest achievement we have obtained based on our research in the light health industry, and it is also one of the most significant achievements. Light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology innovation combines light elements and negative ion elements and has four major functions: healthy light, air purification, forest oxygen bar, sterilization and disinfection. Healthy lighting is an industry, and light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) are a major innovative advanced technology in this industry. There is still a lot of room for further upgrading and improvement of light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology, which is also the direction of our efforts at Cosio Lighting.

 

The Frankfurt exhibition is an important platform for the lighting industry. By displaying the latest lighting technologies and products, it reveals the future development direction of the lighting industry. In terms of energy conservation, the lighting industry needs to devote itself to developing more efficient energy-saving lighting technologies to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. Intelligent lighting has become the new favorite in the lighting industry. Through the application of intelligent control systems, lighting can be personalized and customized, and energy utilization efficiency can be improved. As an emerging field, light health can have a positive impact on the human body's biological rhythms and improve people's quality of life by adjusting light, brightness and color temperature.

 

One of my deepest personal feelings about this exhibition is: I have participated in the Frankfurt exhibition for more than 20 years. On the first day of the exhibition, I had a deep chat with an old customer. The customer introduced his son to me. I joked to him that I have three generations of his family. He started working with his father on traditional lamps 20 years ago, and on energy-saving and smart lamps ten years ago. In the future, it may be health and artificial intelligence lamps with his children, which just represent the past, present and future. When I think back on this in-depth chat, I think it has a very different meaning. What I lament is that we have been working with customers for more than 20 years and have absolute trust in each other. At the same time, everyone is making progress. The past 20 years have represented technological innovation products. of iterations.

 

On March 5, Premier Li Qiang delivered a government work report to the Second Session of the 14th National People's Congress. The report stated that a major focus of future industry development is to open up new tracks in quantum technology and life sciences, so the health industry is definitely the future development. The sunrise industry, returning to the lighting industry, will inevitably develop in the direction of light customization, energy saving, light intelligence, and light health in the future. Whether it is light energy saving or light intelligence, the ultimate goal is to achieve light health, and health is the rigidity of human beings. need! Light health not only brings people lighting and light, but also brings people healthy physiology and psychology. It is the inevitable path for the development and upgrading of the lighting industry!
