Since the outbreak of the epidemic, countries have actively promoted green LED lighting plans, and most countries have formulated rigid laws and regulations and target completion standards. Typical of these are the downgrading of energy labels and the transparency of product information implemented in Europe, China and some other countries. The downgrading of energy labels avoids the appearance of confusing labels such as "AA", "AAA" and "5A" in the past due to technological development. The same QR code is more convenient for users and other related industries to fully understand product information, so that product informatization makes consumers more independent and selective. Secondly, a comprehensive ban on products and materials with serious toxic and harmful pollution, such as Japan's ban on import and export of mercury-containing products.

The impact of "green lighting" on the LED lighting industry can be viewed from four aspects: raw materials, equipment, technology, and changes or expansion of application scenarios. So what are the effects of "green lighting" on application scenarios?

1. Smart Lighting

With the acceleration of urbanization, the demand and construction scale of urban public lighting facilities have increased year by year, and the energy consumption of urban public lighting has also increased. In the era of sustainable energy development, energy saving and emission reduction, efficient lighting, improving the life of street lamps and other outdoor lighting, and reducing maintenance and management costs are also the main needs of urban intelligence.

For example, in terms of traffic lighting, the smart lighting system can adjust the brightness of the street lights according to the real-time traffic flow and the driving direction of the vehicles as long as there are vehicles on the road under video surveillance, and can freely group and control the street lights. After testing, the power saving rate can reach 80.5%. .

2. Plant lighting

With the continuous deterioration of the earth's living environment, and energy conservation and emission reduction in agriculture, the plant lighting that simulates sunlight has shown explosive growth in recent years, and the industry's attention has gradually increased. Although the main driving factor is the rapid growth of the North American medical and recreational cannabis market, in the long run, LED lighting applications in the fields of vegetables, medicinal materials and other fields have much more application space than cannabis.

According to the latest research data, the global plant LED lighting market will grow by 10.4% to reach US$1.85 billion in 2022. In the first half of last year, the development of the plant lighting market slowed down, mainly due to the delay in shipping and the increase in freight prices affected by the epidemic, followed by the shortage of power ICs and other political factors.
