"You have a visitor". "The curtains in your living room are closing." Recently, at a company's lighting exploration hall in Guzhen Town, salespeople were utilizing an AI speaker to demonstrate how smart voice controls manage home lighting modes .

Industry insiders say that the numerous innovative smart home and intelligent lighting terminals are offered by internet companies. Lighting companies can install these terminals quickly once the appropriate mountings, hardware, connectors, and other solutions are procured.

Internet companies have started to see an increase in popularity of their lighting industry products. They are aiming to get further involved in the industry by attracting more lighting companies to use their products.

The end of 2018 saw Alibaba AI Labs hold a summit in Guzhen Town to promote its smart lighting industry update. In addition, Alibaba representatives were there to promote their Tmall Genie and WIFI solutions from Aliyun to other lighting companies.

According to Alibaba AI Labs, its cooperation with Zhongshan lighting industry has attracted more than 100 lighting brands and 1,000 lighting products. The next step is to strengthen the cooperation by creating a set of smart updating plans for the lighting industry through collaboration among manufacturers. For example, chip makers, module manufacturers, technical solution providers and accredited manufacturers from the upstream and downstream industrial chain can work together more efficiently.

Coincidentally, Xiaomi, a high-tech company, began a strategic joint venture with Huayi Plaza to be able to distribute more lighting products by accessing Xiaomi's intelligent terminal ecology via smart technology.

Industry insiders also believe that the early involvement of the internet companies has been conducive to accelerating the integration of lighting with intelligent terminals. However, initial investment, post-sales service, promotion and popularizationof "experience technology" and other challenges are still ahead. They will have to wait for the traditional lighting industry to overcome these challenges on the way towards better intelligent lighting solutions.
