Study on the prediction of IMS, the commercial light control equipment market demand will be doubled from 2010 to 2017, the equipment shipments increased from 29600000 to 61600000. Most parts are used to connect the ballast, so it needs to have such as DALI or ZigBee connection technology.
Starting the maximum drive of a business building lighting control system is one of the factors of reducing energy use. Although specific rules vary with location of building, yet the building owners comply with the energy law. According to the United States Department of energy said, in a typical commercial building energy use accounted for 25.5%, so the joint intelligence LED Panel Light control system, a building owners can effectively control and reduce the system energy consumption.
According to IMS research analyst Phillip Maddocks said, ” in the commercial buildings, the implementation of the lighting control system is one of the reasons. You have to abide by the energy law, the reduction of energy consumption, especially the United States enacted the Title24 and ASHRAE method. Another driver is the United States of America with implementation of compensation to promote the installation of commercial light control system. In other regions, such as Europe, at present the same level of legislation does not exist, but the acceptance of these systems are in rising trend;
Current, in commercial buildings to install lighting control system, using a series of wired and wireless communication technology. The most outstanding is the DALI; although there are several companies to provide their proprietary version of the technology, yet they can not be mutual cooperation. However, for ballast and sensor standard is expected to be released in 2013; it will promote the use of DALI standards, so that different manufacturers of lighting control system can work together, then it will be completely different from today’s situation.
” Over the forecast period, wired technologies such as DALI still will hold the dominant position, because the majority of the company provide a reliable wireless technology, but wireless technology also have various problems and limitations. In addition, as the standard appearance of the sensor and the ballast, as well as the new DALI commercial light control system, such as control network solutions of elitedali platform, so it allows the DALI control using the platform “.
