As China's cultural performing arts industry continues to flourish and domestic manufacturers improve the technological innovation and development, China's stage lighting industry has booming. According to incomplete statistics, there are about hundreds of domestic stage lighting manufacturers, mainly distributed in Guangdong, accounting for about 70% to 80% of the national total. At present, domestic lighting enterprises have developed rapidly in recent years, and made great strides in the number of varieties, performance function, manufacturing process, quality level and testing methods of lamps and lanterns, but there are still some enterprises whose product function positioning is not clear and blind Production and other issues of concern.
First, the lack of awareness of intellectual property price advantage is no longer obvious
Professional lighting technical barriers lower. Its main components are computer lights, in accordance with the different requirements of customers can be assembled. Technology and lighting technology basically the same, so a few years ago our light exports benefit from adequate labor cheap, cheap raw materials and other excellent situation. However, with the accelerated development of world economic integration, we will inevitably face the challenges of such issues as international technical barriers, product patent protection, and constant improvement of market rules. This will certainly lead to the development of some enterprises that are weak in R & D and have relied on imitation It will be difficult. The standardization of the lighting industry, own intellectual property rights, core competing technologies, and national brands have become one of the most pressing topics in the industry.
On the other hand, after the financial crisis and the tumble of inflation, the price advantage of the stage lighting industry is no longer obvious. Raw material prices, rising labor costs make the cost of manufacturing increased by about 20%, but the general increase in cost 20% of the case, the product sales price is hard to achieve 20% increase. On the one hand, it forces our lighting export-oriented enterprises to shift from labor-intensive to technology-intensive and knowledge-intensive. Export countries also face some adjustments.
Second, the "green stage" made new demands on the LED
As a result, more and more enterprises are devoted to the trend of low-carbon environmental protection. On the one hand, they improve equipment, improve production management, reduce waste of resources, and ensure the quality and stability of lighting products Sex. On the other hand, the use of LED light source to replace the original high-power light bulbs, and LED lighting products in line with the stage performance of technical research.
LED as a green light with reasonable efficiency, energy saving, safety and perfect interpretation of the advantages in one. However, as a stage light source, perfect stage lighting function and performance are the most important. LED in these areas there are still some problems need to overcome. LED calibration life is 50,000 hours, can be used to calibrate the life of the lamp is relatively rare, poorly handled light will decay quickly. Light distribution with the ordinary lighting is different from the light of the stage lighting is variable, you can adjust, reflected in the light intensity distribution, spot shape and color. Also have good color rendering, suitable, stable color temperature, good consistency and so on.
As the LED into the field of stage lighting is not long, only the user of the stage lighting and a small number of manufacturers concerned about the past concerns and related measurement data are more concentrated in the white part of the IPL did not involve nor did it introduce a unified measure standard.
LEDs do not perform well in photometers. Stage lighting is only measured parameters of light is not enough, but also subjective evaluation, experienced lighting division to subjective evaluation of light efficiency, including the uniformity of light, light edge color, imaging deformation and other indicators. LED lighting used in the stage, you need to follow the arrangement of lighting division, the technology for the effect of service, which is the stage for this special occasion of the new requirements for LED lamps.
Third, the combination of lighting technology and art enterprise product application technology into the inevitable trend
With the progress and development of science, lighting is no longer simply a function of lighting. Whether theater stage lighting or a variety of show or outdoor stage lighting have undergone enormous changes, stage lighting design and operation more and more reflects the integration of technology and art the importance of.
Computer software on lighting design will continue to evolve, eventually allowing designers to dominate his "visual" technology in a completely artistic "interactive" way. Today's lighting software only gives designers the assistance of design, painting and paperwork. Future design software will be able to use the "touch screen" and "speech recognition" functions. Intelligent lighting control system has begun to emerge.
Stage lighting technology and keep pace with the development of application technology is the stage of the growth of some large domestic enterprises have been involved in the project related to the accumulation of lighting products application experience.
They are able to design lighting control, effects equipment and effects monitoring system solutions according to the different scenes required by the stage, which has gone beyond the old idea of ​​simply selling the product. Choosing and performing parties together to complete a piece of work, a party lighting design, providing design ideas and technical services to support, will undoubtedly become the business bidding process in addition to another chip to force chips. Of course, this is a big test of the strength of the enterprise, not only to have stable and reliable quality products, but also on the design, on-site control of the high quality requirements.
Fourth, the stage of the full digital lighting era The arrival of computer lighting market demand will grow year by year
With the rapid development of digital technology in all walks of life, the field of professional stage lighting will also gradually enter the era of full digitalization. At present, domestic large-scale outdoor performances: such as square party, large and medium-sized individual concert and indoor large and medium-sized stage (including the studio) used by professional lighting equipment, such as digital dimming console, scanner console, digital silicon , Computer effect lights, computer dyed lights, chasing light computer color changers, lasers, etc., the vast majority are using digital control.
At present, the computer lamp technology is in the digitized and networked era, and users are increasingly demanding in terms of security, stability, scalability and ease of use. The integration of portable, multi-functional, intelligent and information management has become the user's Pursuit and first choice. In the studio or venue can be all the lighting control equipment through the network workstations and controlled devices connected together. Using TCP / IP Ethernet networking technology, or using TCP / IP Ethernet and traditional DMX control technology combine to control the entire lighting system.
The successful application of networked lighting, networked control equipment, networked management software, automatic alarm system, multi-network integration and acousto-optic synchronization has brought new business opportunities for professional lighting enterprises at home and abroad in recent large-scale projects. Domestic professional computer lighting market, demand will show a year-by-year upward trend.
Fifth, holographic projection technology will be the future stage "new favorite"
With the development of science and technology, the enhancement of display effect of consumers is particularly outstanding. Holographic projection technology A strong sense of space and perspective is the most attractive place for this technology. It is expected to be the ultimate display solution beyond the current 3D technology. In addition to the entertainment applications such as stereoscopic cinema, television, display, bar and KTV, holographic projection technology can be used in many fields such as microscopy, interferometry, projection lithography, military reconnaissance and surveillance, underwater exploration and more The future is undoubtedly very impressive.
Throughout the history of the stage, the success of the stage performances all blend with the progress of science and technology. The transition from gramophones, records and radios to the MV, television and Internet age, and the current stage technology, have enabled people unable to attend to perform with real actors through a combination of the actual situation and the real ones. All this is due to technological charm. Holographic projection technology on the traditional stage of the subversion of acousto-optic technology, and bring people the illusion of three-dimensional experience, as the LED display in the stage of the wide range of applications, it will also become the next few years the light of the United States and the "new favorite" .
Six, high-end technology research and development lags behind the introduction of international cooperation in school-enterprise talent channels
Stage lighting technology threshold is lower, want to enter the field and not too strong technical requirements. China's stage lighting research and development-oriented enterprises are mostly small and medium enterprises, the core technology companies are still a minority. The LED technology that is currently being touted as a trend is also starting from abroad. The core technologies, processes and related rules are controlled by foreign companies. There are strict technical barriers and patent cross agreements. Chinese enterprises need to develop a large number of related technologies Human, material resources and resources, there is no core technology in the hands of domestic professional lighting business weakness.
To change this predicament, we must start with the fundamental "talent". The good news is that many Chinese enterprises have begun to attach importance to the introduction and cultivation of technical personnel. In view of the employment opportunities provided by the employers, in addition to professional graduates such as dance and music, many units have relatively large demand for talent in the stage art scene design, lighting and sound control, fieldwork, stage supervision and ticketing. Many enterprises not only compete for talents, but also sign agreements with colleges and universities to build training bases to institutionalize the future cooperation between schools and enterprises.
