According to statistics, the global street lamp market reached 1.6 to 180 million baht last year. Among them, LED street lamps become the new darling of the road lighting market with its outstanding environmental protection, reliability, energy saving, and ease of aesthetic design features. More and more countries have formulated energy-saving emission reduction regulations and lighting standards, which not only contributes to the development of LED lighting application market, but also means that LED street lamps will become the leading products in the next generation of road lighting sources. It is estimated that with the global economic growth, the global street lamp market will show an increasing trend year by year.

Under the promotion of China's semiconductor lighting demonstration projects and other policies, China's LED street lamp market will maintain a rapid market development rate. It is estimated that by 2012, the market size will increase from 560 million yuan in 2008 to 3.96 billion yuan, and the compound annual growth rate will reach 63.0%.

"User experience" has become the center of technological innovation Now, in China's LED lighting industry, people are concerned about the light efficiency of the chip. It is generally believed that the higher the efficiency of the chip, the greater the luminous flux, the more efficient the conversion of electrical energy into light energy. High, thus saving energy even more. Therefore, many lighting companies are improving the chip efficiency as the LED lighting technology research. In addition, the traditional LED lighting field also believes that the higher the illuminance the better, but ignores the contrast and fusion of light and the environment. These "technology-only" orientations do not start from the physiological perspectives of the user's visual perception. Take into account the details of the scene, such as in the dark night, the color temperature is too high for some people with poor eyesight and the elderly and other groups, it is easy to produce discomfort and affect the safety of driving or walking.

The development of LED street lamps in China will focus on "people-oriented"

Therefore, excellent products are often the result of the fusion of leading technology concepts, technological methods, and user experience. As a diversified multinational company advocating "healthy and comfortable, high quality of life", Philips has always adhered to the concept of "Easy Light to Improve Life" and is committed to improving people's quality of life through the timely launch of meaningful innovations. In recent years, it has put forward a new concept of “people-oriented” and advocates that by listening to and observing people’s opinions, we can ensure that products can truly meet the needs of users. In view of the status quo of China's LED street lamps industry, Philips took the lead in proposing that the energy efficiency of LED lamps should use the lighting power density as an evaluation standard. That is, the system light efficiency can only be one of the product evaluation indicators, and the lighting effects and energy-saving effects cannot be fully measured. The metrics for street lamps are primarily to meet people's visual needs, and energy conservation is also bound to satisfy this standard. With this philosophy and the support of global LED technology, Philips has launched a series of LED road lighting products in recent years.

Taking Philips' latest Green LED series as an example, this product measures road surface lumens/square meter fully satisfying users' requirements. It has four kinds of system light effects and an optical system designed for Chinese roads and the best chip combination, not only It can ensure road safety with sufficient brightness and illumination, and it can bring people comfortable and safe lighting experience with appropriate light colors, so that energy-saving effect and user evaluation can be optimized. Centering on the user experience and bringing practical energy-saving benefits to consumers, it will also create a bright future for LED road lighting.
