Bluetooth 4.0 LED lighting control program analysis and trend analysis

Compared with traditional light source products, LED lamps have been widely regarded as a revolutionary and alternative technology due to their high luminous efficiency, long life, no mercury, and low total cost of ownership. With the implementation of the global incandescent lamp cut-off and ban policy, incandescent lamps will gradually disappear into the market. In China, the National Development and Reform Commission announced that since October 1, 2012, the import and sale of ordinary lighting incandescent lamps of 100 watts or more has been banned nationwide, which has undoubtedly created tremendous opportunities for LED lighting companies.

Faced with the gradual enlargement of the LED lighting market, the rapid improvement of LED performance and the significant reduction of cost caused by the competition of various merchants have brought about the spring development of the LED industry. In the five years from 2008 to 2013, the LED lighting market penetrated. The rate has risen from 1.5% to 20%. It is expected that LED lights will replace incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps in the next five years, accounting for most of the lighting market.

Second, Bluetooth 4.0 technology caters to LED development opportunities

With the maturity and development of the LED market, in addition to replacing traditional lighting systems, LEDs can also be used with different technologies to make different applications.

In the field of LED lighting applications, wireless technology is gradually integrated into the overall solution, with the concept of smart home. Currently, the mainstream wireless transmission standards on the market include Wifi, Zigbee and Bluetooth. Among them, wifi has high power consumption and high equipment requirements, while Zigbee is difficult to develop and costly. Therefore, for ordinary home lighting control, low power Bluetooth 4.0 is required. On the one hand, it breaks through the bottleneck of power consumption, and on the other hand, it is widely popularized in iphone, Samsung, HTC and other smart phones, which has the advantages of both technology and cost.
