6月9日到10日，照明行业年度盛会——“2016阿拉丁照明论坛”在全球最大照明展广州国际照明展期间隆重举行，阿拉丁照明网作为大会报道的官方媒体，特邀全球照明协会秘书长Bryan Douglas先生来到我们新闻直播现场，与大家共同探讨照明及LED产业发展大计。

　　阿拉丁照明网：今年全球照明市场有哪些明显的变化?这些变化给我们哪些启示?

　　Alighting：What changes impress you most in the global lighting market this year? What are the implications of these changes?

　　Bryan Douglas：I have been impressed by the way in which the global lighting industry has responded to the opportunities and challenges presented by solid state lighting. On the one hand traditional lighting companies are adapting to the new technologies and committing investment. On the other hand I am very impressed by the way that emerging major markets in Asia, and in particular China, have responded to the changes. Ledification is truly a global phenomenon and is not confined to places like Europe or North America. Chinese manufacturers have embraced the change to LEDs and for several years now years have been the dominant force in global LED production.

　　是的，全球照明行业在应对半导体照明带来的机遇和挑战的方式，给我留下了深刻印象。一方面，传统照明企业在不断发展新技术和引进新投资;另一方面，正在兴起的亚洲照明市场，尤其是中国在应对产业变化的过程，令人印象深刻。全球照明行业已经回应了固态照明的机会和挑战。照明的LED化是一个全球性的现象，并不局限于欧洲或北美等地方。很显然，中国的制造商在过去积极拥抱了LED的变化，而现在已经成长为推动全球LED生产的主流力量。

　　阿拉丁照明网：在您看来，未来全球照明市场的机遇在哪里?有哪些新的商业形态和技术值得我们关注?

　　Alighting：Where are the future opportunities of global lighting in your opinion? What business forms and technologies that we should pay attention to?

　　Bryan Douglas：There are huge opportunities. We are now living in this new paradigm of connected lighting. Everything that I have seen at recent lighting trade fairs confirms this paradigm shift. The future is definitely about connected lighting, The industry must embrace this concept. Those who ignore the concept will be left behind.

　　Connected lighting will be profoundly important in road lighting. Road lights and road lighting poles will provide a vital platform for sensors which will provide the information to transform cities into intelligent cities.

　　未来的LED照明市场蕴藏着巨大的机会。我们正生活在一个新的连接照明环境中，在我最近的照明交易会上也印证了照明的这一转变。未来肯定是关于连接照明，照明行业必须拥抱这个概念和变化，那些忽视这一变化的人，未来将会被时代淘汰。

　　在道路照明中，连接照明将显得异常重要。路灯和路灯杆作为传感器的载体，为信息的交流和转换，提供一个重要的平台，将城市转变为智慧城市。

　　阿拉丁照明网：随着智慧城市的推进，跨界成为一种常态。在多种业态融合的过程中，照明产业如何发展?

　　Alighting：How do you think about the development of intelligent city? What lighting industry should do with its development?

　　Bryan Douglas：Cities will become cleaner, safer and better places in which to live because of connected lighting. Of course analytics and other technologies in processing the huge amounts of data made possible by connected lighting and lighting sensors will also be very important in the transformation to intelligent cities.

　　Lighting companies must embrace the new technologies and they must form alliances with companies which possess these complementary technologies. I suggest they must form alliances with other relevant technology providers if they want to play a role in this new world of intelligent cities.

　　因为连接照明，城市将成为更清洁，更安全，更好的人类生活的地方。有了连接照明和照明感应器，对智慧城市的大量数据进行分析处理和转换成为了可能。

　　照明公司必须拥抱新技术，他们必须与拥有这些互补技术的公司结盟。我认为，如果他们想在这个智能城市的新世界中发挥作用，他们必须与其他相关技术供应商结成联盟。

　　阿拉丁照明网：全球照明协会正在做什么以及未来有哪些计划来推进全球照明的发展?

　　Alighting：What is the global lighting association doing and what are the plans for the future to promote the development of global lighting?

　　Bryan Douglas：In a program called VISTA 2025, the global lighting association has embarked on a program of articulating the changes likely to occur in lighting up to the year 2025. This is a significant challenge because of the profound changes we are going through. In connection with this work we are developing position papers on matters of importance to the lighting industry, such as quality of light and human centric lighting.

　　We are also working on environmental matters, on improving the world’s tariff codes to better reflect the changes in lighting technologies, and we are working with other stakeholders such as the CIE on matters of importance to the industry.

　　在一个程序称为“Vista 2025”，全球照明协会已经在实施一个新的计算项目，通过这个项目，可以预测照明行业2025年将可能发生的事情和变化。这是一个重大的挑战，因为照明行业无时无刻不在经历着深刻的变化。在这项工作中，我们正在开发照明产业重要问题的立场文件，如光品质和以人为本的照明。

　　我们也在研究环境问题，对改善世界关税代码以更好地反映在照明技术的变化，并与其他利益相关者如CIE一起解决和确定照明行业的重要事项。

　　阿拉丁照明网：通过本次论坛，您有什么新的想法希望跟业界分享?

　　Alighting：Do you have any new ideas that you want to share with the industry?

　　Bryan Douglas：Embrace the changes occurring in the industry, and form alliances with other technology providers.

　　拥抱照明产业正在发生的变化，与其他技术供应商共同协作发展。
