With the continuous progress of modern lighting technology, new materials, new processes and new technologies are widely used, as well as people’s in-depth research on various lighting principles and their use environments, breaking through the traditional concept of simple lighting and lighting the environment in the past. It enriches the expressive power and beautification means of modern lamps and lighting to the lighting environment. Computer-aided design is adopted, through the requirements of lighting place brightness, light distribution curve, lamp function and structure design, so that lamps and lanterns can meet the practical needs and maximize the effect of light sources, and pay more attention to the decorative aesthetic effect of the appearance of lamps and lanterns. , thus forming the four major trends in the development of modern lighting.
Application of high-efficiency energy-saving light source
In recent years, with the promotion of energy-saving lighting technology, the design of energy-saving lighting fixtures has become the most concerned issue for lighting manufacturers, and it is recognized that in order to achieve high-efficiency and energy-saving lamps, energy-saving light sources should first be used, which is the premise of promoting high-efficiency energy-saving lamps; Secondly, according to the size and shape of the energy-saving light source, the optical system of the lamp is carefully designed to improve the effective utilization rate and decorative effect of the lamp.
Focus on the development of lighting integration technology
With the development and application of the integration of lamps, the electronic technology of lighting lamps represented by electronic ballasts has developed rapidly, and various integrated devices and computer control systems have made significant progress in the application of lamps and lighting systems. Lighting system have been greatly improved in terms of dimming, remote control, and control of light color.
1. The dimming methods of modern lamps are more advanced, convenient and flexible than before. In addition to setting dimming devices and switching devices in the lamps, the dimming devices with integrated infrared receivers or remote control are also used to control the projection light source. Dimming, or use a computer to program dimming. This dimming method is suitable for the current ceiling renovation, and the existing dimming system can simultaneously implement stepless dimming and time-delayed lighting for less than ten different place.
2. Use the scene selector to work with the light source and low-voltage lighting system, and combine flexible lighting design and multi-point control with the usual connection. This kind of scene dimmer and long-distance scene controller can be installed in multiple ways and can be combined at will. It is suitable for conference rooms, museums and other places, and is convenient, flexible and has remarkable control effect.
3. Using the computer remote control console and indoor computer lighting control system, the state of the light source of indoor decorative lighting can be automatically changed according to the degree of natural lighting, day and night time and user requirements, and the parameter setting, change and monitoring of the entire lighting system can be realized through the screen. This control method is suitable for civilian facilities such as hotels and shopping malls.
4. The integrated technology is gradually in line with the development of modern lamps. After various lamps and lanterns adopt integrated circuit, the energy-saving effect is remarkable. For example, the directional lighting spotlights produced by a company in the United States, after using integrated circuits, the energy consumption of the lamps has been greatly reduced, and the integrated technology will definitely become the design trend of modern lamps.
Towards multi-functional miniaturization
With the development of compact light sources, various new technologies and processes are continuously adopted, and the electrical accessories for lamps such as ballasts are miniaturized. Modern lamps are developing in the direction of small, practical and multi-functional.
1. The application range of compact fluorescent lamps in modern lamps has increased. The initial fluorescent lamps mainly focus on the development of table lamps, and now they have gradually expanded to the development of various lighting lamps, various lighting places and functional lighting. We can make a simple classification: low-power compact fluorescent lamps are generally used in table lamps and grille lamps; high-power compact fluorescent lamps are generally used in various road lamps, garden lamps, and lawn lamps; among which three-tube compact fluorescent lamps are used. Most of the fixtures use electronic ballasts and are equipped with uniquely designed reflectors. The efficiency of the lamps is high. If devices such as computers and infrared remote controls are added, it is more economical and practical.
2. The design of various small lamps is more sophisticated and reasonable. Such as: a kind of miniature spotlight produced by British Thorne Company, the leading end of each light weave of this light is equipped with various optical accessories, including prisms, lenses, gratings, etc., to control the beam, with unique functions and small size .
3. In order to adapt to the flexible requirements of changing indoor sizes and functions of modern buildings, and make the best use of building space to facilitate people’s lives, multi-functional combined lamps and lanterns came into being. For example, ceiling fan lamps suitable for home and office use a control system that integrates lighting dimming and fan speed regulation functions, which can not only implement full-range dimming of light sources, but also implement three-speed speed control for fans, which is convenient and practical. . Another example is a multi-functional lighting device suitable for use in the ward, which can not only be used as a background light source for receiving visitors, but also has four functions: a desk lamp, a lamp for medical examination and a lamp for nurses’ ward rounds at night.
From the simple lighting function to the development of lighting and decoration
Modern lamps are in the transition from “lighting up” to “beautiful”, with more emphasis on decorative and aesthetic effects. The design and production of modern lamps and lanterns use modern science and technology, combine classical modeling with a sense of the times, and reflect the achievements of modern lighting technology. The European-style decoration style is generally matched with crystal lamps to highlight its luxurious style. The characteristics of the development of compound lighting fixtures are: in order to ensure lighting conditions and visual comfort, most of the lamps are equipped with various series of complete sets of accessories, so that users can adjust them according to their need. It emphasizes both individuality and coordination with the background environment. In short, one of the important sign reflecting the level of modern lighting products is to see whether they can highlight their own characteristics and decorative effects while coordinating the entire environment.
