What is aging-friendly lighting?

Age-friendly lighting is simply a lighting product specially created for the elderly. For the elderly, as age increases, the elderly's visual ability gradually decreases, the lens turns yellow, the transmittance of light decreases, and the function of the photoreceptor cells of the retina also declines. Therefore, the lighting needs of the elderly must not only provide sufficient brightness, but also take into account the special needs in different scenarios.

In response to the particular lighting needs of the elderly, age-appropriate lighting technology emerged as the times require. It not only increases brightness, but also provides more sufficient but less dazzling light, more realistic color reproduction, more effective glare control, smoother light and dark transitions, and more intelligent and convenient operations based on the elderly's visual characteristics, circadian rhythms, and living habits, significantly improving the elderly's sense of security, independence, and overall happiness.

As the global population continues to age, the aging lighting market is gradually showing development potential that cannot be ignored. This market not only covers the lighting renovation of home environments, but also extends to public spaces such as nursing homes, hospitals, and communities. Therefore, the popularization of elderly-friendly lighting can not only improve The quality of life of the elderly also brings new development opportunities to the lighting industry.

Domestic lighting companies accelerate the layout of lighting business for the elderly

As a part of the elderly products market, with the acceleration of the aging process and the promotion of relevant policies, the elderly lighting market has certain development potential in the future.

In this regard, in addition to Foshan Lighting, domestic lighting companies such as Opple Lighting, NVC Lighting, Sanxiong Laser, and Hongyan Electrical Appliances have also begun to develop business layouts for elderly-friendly lighting in recent years.

For example, Opple Lighting independently developed and launched SDL smart spectrum technology, which is suitable for use by all ages and can achieve personalized rhythm settings. For the elderly, while using high color temperature and high illumination, the yellow light band energy is reduced to deal with the aging of the lens, taking into account safety, brightness and rhythm;

NVC Lighting has launched a series of intelligent aging-friendly lighting products. Its intelligent induction night light uses human body infrared sensing technology and light sensing technology, and has brightness adjustment and delayed shutdown functions to facilitate the use of the elderly;

In addition, Sanxiong Aurora has joined hands with CPIC Homes to build a high-end senior care community, using anti-glare and indirect lighting technologies to create a safe and comfortable living environment for the elderly.

In recent years, Hongyan Electric has cooperated with the government, real estate, elderly care institutions, etc. through Hongyan IoT subsidiary to provide multi-terminal application software for different user groups based on aging-friendly intelligent hardware to create a solution of "aging-friendly intelligent hardware + landing scene services".

Sanfeng Lighting has created the "Tianzhi Series" smart home products.
