Figure analysis of office lighting development (2) future articles

A long time ago, in the era of lighting with fire, a gust of wind and a rain could break the bright and harmonious environment. From the lighting of fire to the lighting of animal and vegetable oil (candle), the portable type of light source has been greatly improved. Candles have developed into lanterns, and people have gradually begun to pay attention to the protection of light sources. In the era of oil and gas lamps, with the protection of glass covers, lamps have gradually got rid of the wind and rain, from the era of oil and gas lamps to the era of electric lights, from the first naked light source to Fluorescent lamps, and the development of all kinds of various light sources, light control covers, reflectors, lenses, etc., from the pursuit of lighting quantity to the pursuit of comfort, all of which are the processes we use. Work hard to communicate with the environment.

Communication is two-way. It requires us to understand the environment and the environment understands us. When we realize this development, we fully study the lighting environment and our individual needs, in addition to the optimization of lighting design methods, we Invented the control system, so we made intelligent lamps. Through the probes, the lamps can detect our actions, detect changes in the light environment, and adjust their own state according to these changes. Some intelligent control system manufacturers are studying On the basis of the change of the working state of the personnel, the preset program of the control system is set, and the entire light environment is adjusted according to different states of the day. In this way, there is interaction in our communication. With interaction, our light environment and our individual needs are more unified. An action, a change will be interacted in it, which makes our lighting environment and people more harmonious.

In the future, the exact context of the future will never be foreseen, just as we do not know when human communication will or will eventually evolve from language to a more effective level of communication. Because there are too many uncertainties in it.

However, according to the existing technical means and the past development, we can make reasonable speculations. The following several office lighting computer simulation pictures are the scenarios of the future lighting applications that I imagined. Maybe, it is not complete. It’s a light fixture.

Self-illuminating decorative lighting:

Self-illuminating furniture, home improvement materials:

Self-illuminating ceiling wall:

Self-illuminating wall, ceiling scene simulation:

What supports our development is our past cognition and our development. It is precisely our past cognition, from incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamp brackets, grille lamps, secondary reflection lamps, downlights and chandeliers. The development of LED lamps, from which we can get a phenomenon, no matter what light source is applied, in fact, the lighting method is not separated from the carrier itself, which is very natural. A person has a lot of experience and sees more. Naturally, it will develop more or less according to the existing model, and for the sake of commercial interests, we also hope more or less that our industry is relatively closed. The industry, in this way, no other entrants will join our industry in accordance with the rules that our practitioners have.

However, the future must be a resource optimization configuration, and the resource utilization rate is gradually maximized. Who can accept the reality of this optimal configuration more quickly, who can redefine the market, define the industry, define the rules, and who is more likely to Which has a favorable position. The future must also be the future of cross-disciplinary development of various disciplines. Therefore, as a practitioner of the lighting industry, it is also necessary to re-define the industry with an open mind.

LED is an emerging light source in the ascendant stage, but recalling our recent development history, are we too rigid to limit the lighting with LED light source? Every emerging technology should have a revolutionary change. Just like the imaginary office lighting scenes I mentioned above, in the future, can we expand the definition of lamps?

Or in the future, there will be no more lamps, some are luminous building materials, some are luminous indoor lighting furniture, and some are lighting scenes that change with people's physiological state. Such an emerging lighting method, such a multi-industry multi-disciplinary cross-influenced research and development of lighting carriers, will be more suitable for the development of emerging light sources such as LED, OLED , will better play the advantages of emerging light sources.

When we do lighting design, we often say that the lighting design should see the light, but imagine that in the future, in the office scene, if the traditional meaning of the lamp does not exist, there is our hard work for the lighting industry. The architectural illuminating materials made by people and other construction disciplines, the architectural illuminating furniture, then, at that time, is it true that we can really see the light? In the face of change, there are risks in changing and not changing. What we have to consider is which way will be more suitable for future development, not just the development of our own industry.

Imagine the future, every element in the office space may be a light fixture, the sunrise and sunset on the wall ceiling, the bridge water, the background music and air conditioning system are responsible for the birds and flowers, the decorative trees change their color according to time, provide time broadcast , etc., etc. Maybe, at that time, the environment and people's unity will be more harmonious, I think, it must be.
