Technological innovation drives growth: How Hardoll Lighting uses AI to enhance product performance

Against the backdrop of the rapid upgrading of the global smart lighting industry, Hardoll Lighting Technology Co., Ltd., a leading enterprise in LED lighting technology in China (hereinafter referred to as Hardoll Lighting), is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) as the core driving force to comprehensively restructure product development, light efficiency optimization, and user interaction logic. As a national high-tech enterprise and a specialized, innovative, and high-quality small and medium-sized enterprise in Guangdong Province, Hardoll Lighting has continuously increased its investment in AI algorithms, edge computing, and IoT platform research and development in recent years, successfully integrating AI into all links of the entire process, from optical design, thermal management modeling to intelligent dimming control. 
At the core product level, the AI-Adaptive commercial lighting system launched by Hardoll Lighting has achieved a breakthrough in the industry: The system is equipped with its own self-developed LightSense™ AI engine, which can real-time analyze environmental light intensity, pedestrian flow density, color temperature preference, and natural light trend changes, and dynamically adjust brightness and spectral distribution. Compared to traditional solutions, it saves 42% of energy and extends the lifespan of LED light sources by more than 30%. This system has been deployed on a large scale in several benchmark projects such as Shenzhen Bay Science and Technology Park and Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Terminal 2. The measured data shows that its light environment comfort (UGR < 16) and energy consumption response speed (< 800ms) are both superior to similar international products. 
What is more worthy of attention is that Hardoll Lighting has built the industry's first vertical large model for the lighting industry - LightGPT. This model was trained based on over 100,000 sets of measured optical parameters, a database of 5,000+ material reflectance rates, and millions of space scene images. This model can assist engineers in completing intelligent lighting simulation for complex spaces within 3 minutes, with an accuracy rate of up to 98.7%, significantly shortening the new product development cycle. In addition, the company has also launched the AI voice interaction lamp 'Helio Voice', which supports multi-language localized command recognition and non-intrusive learning. Users can adjust the color temperature, scene mode, and even联动 the curtains and air conditioning system through natural language without the need for an APP. 
According to the 2023 annual report of Hardoll Lighting, AI-related technologies have covered more than 85% of the company's main product lines, driving the revenue of the smart lighting sector to increase by 67.3%; its AI lighting solutions have been exported to 23 countries including Germany, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates, and have obtained multiple international certifications such as UL, CE, and IESNA. The company's CTO, Dr. Li Ming, stated: 'AI is not an additional function of lighting, but it redefines the essence of 'light' - it enables light to possess the capabilities of perception, thinking, and evolution.' In the next three years, Hardoll Lighting plans to increase the proportion of AI research and development investment to 12% of its revenue, and jointly establish the 'Intelligent Photon AI Joint Laboratory' with the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to continuously promote the deep integration of light technology and artificial intelligence.
