In China's lighting industry as a whole, whether in terms of product technology or product shape design, the local lighting enterprises are very keen on the market sense of smell, following the international market environment, especially with GE, Core, Philips, Osram and other internationally renowned enterprises as reference enterprises; in addition, Frankfurt Exhibition, Hong Kong Exhibition and other exhibitions that are good at foreign sales. It will be regarded as the vane of the industry by most enterprises in the industry, including product design and popular categories in the current season. Bright Lighting Director Hong Yicheng believes that the nickname is the wind vane, but in fact it is the object of imitation learning.

The situation abroad is different. Their lighting design is independent. In fact, professional lighting designers serve customers and decoration designers. What they consider is what effect they should have, what grade of lamps they should use and what characteristics they should use. Only in this way can they continuously ensure the improvement of lighting design level. The development of lighting design industry in foreign countries is many years earlier than that in China, so the market is relatively mature and stable. Compared with China, it has a higher level, more comprehensive technology, more standardized operation, and ensures the final design quality. Therefore, the gap between domestic and foreign lighting design, both technical reasons, but also the current domestic market conditions.

In recent years, domestic lighting designers often organize academic exchanges with international well-known designers to strengthen communication and exchanges. But we must clarify the idea that we are in line with the international standards is to learn and draw lessons from them, but whether we should take all the lessons according to the list or reform and innovation is a question worth discussing. If we want to make Chinese characteristics, if we want to change from plagiarism and copying to Chinese intellectual manufacturing, we must reform and innovate after the introduction, do localization transformation, and integrate the local characteristics.
