The future stage lighting system's prospects are very exciting. After the incandescent light appeared, the technical transformation of the stage lighting system started with the appearance of the 1930s Leko luminaires. In the 1960s, the advent of SCR dimmers caused fundamental changes in the development of stage lighting systems. At present, automated lamps and lanterns (first appeared in the 1970s) are setting off another revolution in stage lighting technology.

Computer software on stage lighting design will continue to evolve, eventually allowing designers to dominate his "visual" technology in a completely artistic "interactive" way. Today's lighting software gives designers just a touch of design, painting and paperwork. Future stage lighting design software will be able to use the "touch screen" and "voice recognition" features. Intelligent control of the stage lighting system has begun to emerge.

First, the reason analysis

1, concept behind

The concept of backwardness involves many aspects. On the manufacturer side, some people think that lamps and lanterns science and technology content is low, a look will, do not have to invest the effort to develop as long as imitation on the line; Some people think that there is no market for high-end products, development investment is big, the risk is big; Ignore all technical standards and norms; even legal concepts are low, shoddy, fake and shoddy. From the user's point of view, some theater leaders believe that as long as the light can cope with the show, do not want to invest more funds to update equipment or buy high-end lamps; some theater management exclude high maintenance requirements, the use of sophisticated high-performance lamps, light leakage Or do not care, just be satisfied with the performance is not a problem, change the light bulb on the line; there are a few lighting used to the old lamps unwilling to accept new things, new products.

2, design strength is weak

Some luminaire manufacturers have a small number of designers or even a low level of professional staff, often inviting people temporarily when developing new products. Although you may be invited to the real lighting experts, but they do not understand the stage, do not understand the function of this lamp in the stage, may not be able to design the stage for the welcome lamps. In addition to leave after the product development, product improvements and upgrades.

3, inadequate investment in lighting development, lack of technical reserves

In recent years, some well-established domestic manufacturers have begun to have greater capital investment and developed some new products, but for such a vast country as China, it is still not enough. Driven by economic interests, short-sighted behavior is not uncommon and it is even rarer to invest heavily in technology reserves.

4, low-end market impact

At present, many theater companies and theaters are economically disadvantaged, especially the large number of small and medium-sized theater troupes and county-level theaters. Therefore, low-cost, low-performance products still have a wide range of markets. The manufacturers have vied for the low-end market, the price war is inevitable. The cost of the product can save one cent, 5% less material, the material is thinner, the wire is shorter and the process is less, the quality of the product is eliminated. High-end products, such as the spring and the snow, are not thankful. Coupled with the manufacturers' own capabilities, they are not enough, and are comfortable in the low-end market.

5, manufacturers, business management is not high

Most domestic lighting factory for small businesses, of which there are many private enterprises. Although a few passed the ISO9000 and other international certification, but hand-workshop-style production and family-style management is still a large number, the lack of the construction of a modern enterprise system.

6, the impact of advanced foreign products

Foreign advanced lighting to enter, to bring new technologies and new ideas, but also the impact on the domestic market. At present, the high-end products can be said that the foreign products dominate the world. In the past two years, many large-scale theaters have been built. As long as the economic conditions permit, all imported lamps and lanterns are used. Some domestic manufacturers unable to compete with foreign brands, only to give up the development of high-end products, which have a certain impact on the development of domestic lamps and lanterns.

Second, give advice and suggestions

In the face of the current situation, businesses should have what action?

1, update the concept

The concept is the most important key point, the concept of new can look new, the direction of Ming, the concept of updating is multi-faceted, with the same reasons for the analysis of the gap.

2, master the development of the world stage lighting dynamics and cutting-edge technology

In the open market economy and the advanced information technology in today's market, it is not difficult to understand the development trend and the frontier. The key is to be a helpful person and browse the Internet. It may be one of the best means to stop making cars behind closed doors, or you will certainly be mercilessly Elimination. Conditions can join ESTA and other organizations, to integrate themselves into the international community, both to understand developments as soon as possible, it is possible to participate in standards development and other work, master the technical initiative.

3, Strict implementation of the relevant standards, the implementation of domestic and international product certification

The current stage lighting standards are mainly related to safety standards, GB7000.1-1996 "general safety requirements and test lamps" and GB7000.15-2000 "stage lighting, television, film and photography (indoor and outdoor) lamps with safety requirements" are International Electrotechnical Commission standard equivalent or equivalent, the implementation of these standards on the product with international standards is very favorable. China's 3C certification is a compulsory product safety certification, the first batch of 19 categories included in the compulsory certification of 132 kinds of products, although not included stage lighting, but manufacturers should take precautions. Safety certification is the trend of the times, foreign products are UL, CE, TUV certification, as domestic lamps in order to enter the international market, these passes is essential. A manufacturer of vision lamps can start from the domestic certification, and gradually achieve international certification. At present, CQC voluntary certification can be implemented on products not listed in 3C certification, and stage and video lamps and lanterns are included in the Catalog of Voluntary Certification for Electrical Workers promulgated by China Quality Certification Center (CQC).

At present, China's lamps are not grounded using two-core connector is certainly not meet any standards and pass any certification, to take this opportunity to call for the lighting plant to stop production without ground wire only with single-phase two-pole socket lamps (fully available mining international Universal three-pin tail form, and the electrical grounding standards are QB / T2135-1995 "video stage lighting single-phase three-pole plug sockets and couplings technical conditions" and WH / T17-2003 "stage lighting single-phase Three-pole plug socket and the connector type, the basic parameters and dimensions "), also called on the light industry colleagues cherish their own lives, refuse to use lamps without grounding device, but also call the relevant functional departments such as technical supervision departments can stage lighting In the production and sales of the implementation of the standard to be supervised, the cultural system may also have the appropriate agencies to implement management. In the past ten years, many industry standards and national standards related to stage equipment have been formulated. Some are still mandatory. However, the basic situation is that no one is performing after the formulation. The key lies in the lack of publicity and supervision. Supervision is even more important. Improve the level of equipment, including lamps, including equipment, with international standards into the world economy, this situation can not ignore the standard can no longer continue.

4, to strengthen industry management and coordination, to play the role of industry associations (Institute)

Under the market economy, the original scientific research system ceased to exist. The functions of the government departments such as the Department of Science and Technology (MOFTEC) of the Ministry of Culture and the Education Bureau (Science and Technology Department) of the Cultural Affairs Bureau of various provinces and municipalities were changed. The Association for the Performing Arts of Chinese Performing Arts Materials Management and coordination roles, including the development of standards and norms. Such as the famous ESTA (Entertainment Services and Technology Association) and the USITT (American Theater Technology Association) and other organizations have a great influence on the industry, stage technology and product development played a significant role, the famous DMX512 lighting control protocol and The latest ACN network control protocols are out of these organizations.

5, cultivate the domestic market, open up the international market

Good product, need to have a mature market support. The market needs nurturing, there will be more and better products with good market. Explore the international market, into the tide of the world economy, but also improve product quality.
