[Editor's Note] Vigorously promoting the exchange of old for new consumer goods is a major policy that benefits enterprises and the people, and it is also an important measure to implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand in depth. In 2025, Xinhuanet planned the all-media column of "New Observation on Home Consumption", inviting industry insiders to conduct in-depth discussions on the theme of "old for new", summarize and promote typical models and advanced experiences, and continuously release the consumption potential of the home furnishing market.

  Xinhuanet, Beijing, April 25 (Reporter Wang Richen) At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are developing in depth, and the cross-integration of disciplines is constantly advancing, and the speed of transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productivity is accelerated and the cycle is shortened. Leading science and technology enterprises are an indispensable and important force in strengthening scientific and technological innovation and transformation of achievements, opening up new fields and new tracks for development, and shaping new momentum and new advantages in development.

  This year's government work report proposes, "Give full play to the leading role of science and technology enterprises, strengthen the deep integration of industry, academia and research led by enterprises, and institutionally ensure that enterprises participate in national scientific and technological innovation decisions and undertake major scientific and technological projects." "Deepen the reform of the talent management and use system, give employers greater autonomy, and promote the joint training and exchange of industry, academia and research talents."

  As a leading company in the domestic lighting industry, Opple Lighting continues to explore new paths for integration of industry, academia and research. During the Opple Lighting Global Smart Lighting Festival held on April 21, the "Fudan-Op Global Smart Lighting School-Enterprise Joint Laboratory" was officially unveiled. Ma Xiuhui, founder and president of Opple Lighting, said: "We unveiled the joint laboratory with Fudan University to deeply integrate the scientific research strength at the forefront of academics with the practical experience of industrial implementation, and explore the infinite possibilities of smart lighting."

  Strong alliance strengthens the integration of industry, academia, research and application

  Last year, under the influence of the Institute of Insurance Application Innovation at Fudan University, Opple Lighting and the Department of Light Source and Lighting Engineering of Fudan University joined forces to plan and build a joint laboratory. From signing the cooperation agreement to being unveiled now, the cross-integration school-enterprise joint laboratory has begun to take shape.

  According to reports, the "Fudan-Oup Global Smart Lighting School-Enterprise Joint Laboratory" will give full play to the scientific research advantages of Fudan University and the market application advantages of Oupuup Lighting, focus on the cutting-edge exploration of global smart, low-carbon, health and other lighting technologies, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into productivity, promote the high-quality integration of industry, academia and research, and form lighting solutions that serve the needs of consumers, enterprises, institutions and government departments, inject new impetus into the transformation, upgrading and sustainable development of the lighting industry.

  Xu Zheng, executive vice president of Fudan University, said that the Joint Laboratory focuses on the future development trend of "smart lighting" and aims at the goal of participating in the "global" industry competition; conducts research on cutting-edge issues such as space lighting in megacities, human-causing lighting, health care and medical lighting, and strives to open up channels for integrated promotion of project research, talent training and results transformation; introduces financial services on the basis of school-enterprise cooperation to form a basic development structure integrating diversification of science and technology, finance and industries.

  Kong Qingwei, executive chairman of the Institute of Insurance Application Innovation at Fudan University and former chairman of China Pacific Insurance Group, said that the joint laboratory is a platform for scientific research and innovation, a stage for the transformation of results, and a cradle for nurturing talents. Fudan-Op Joint Laboratory strives to build a integrated leading laboratory, and to use light to illuminate life, enjoy life with beauty, and to create and open up a new track with mechanisms.

  "Fudan University has internationally leading scientific research capabilities in the fields of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, electric light sources, etc.; Suzhou City, as an innovation highland in the Yangtze River Delta and a major manufacturing center, provides fertile soil for the transformation of industry, academia and research," said Ma Xiuhui, founder and president of Opup Lighting, "Oup Lighting joins hands with Fudan and takes root in Suzhou, and the strong alliance of 'famous schools + famous cities + famous enterprises' will surely create dazzling sparks in the global smart lighting field."

  It is reported that the first phase of the joint laboratory's research and development project will carry out a series of cooperative projects around innovative application research on the elderly-friendly light environment, innovative application research on emotional healing space lighting, and innovative application research on large space light environments. At the same time, under the guidance of the Institute of Insurance Application Innovation of Fudan University, Taibao Property Insurance Suzhou Branch, Taibao Digital Intelligence Research Institute, and Opple Lighting jointly developed and launched the industry's first energy-saving loss insurance.

  Innovation leads to accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements

  The completion of the "Fudan-Oup Global Smart Lighting School-Enterprise Joint Laboratory" is actually a microcosm of Opup Lighting's continued deepening in industry-university-research cooperation, talent training, and scientific and technological achievements transformation.

  As early as 2023, Opple Lighting and Wuhan University reached a strategic cooperation to jointly build the "Joint Laboratory of Light Quality and Color Vision", research and develop "good light" that conforms to human visual perception, and innovatively introduced two indicators: MCPI (color preference) and CDM (color resolution). Today, the cooperation between the two sides in industry, academia and research has successfully transformed scientific and technological achievements into product applications.

  In February this year, the group standard "Comprehensive Evaluation Method for Color Reproduction Quality of White Light Source" (T/CIES 036-2025) was officially released and implemented by the China Lighting Society. The release of this standard fills the gap in China's lighting industry in the field of international LED light quality evaluation and plays a positive role in enhancing the international competitiveness of my country's lighting industry. Based on this standard, Opple Lighting has developed the "clear light full spectrum" technology.

  Liu Qiang, associate professor at Wuhan University, said that Wuhan University and Opple Lighting have led to cooperation between the two parties because of the same frequency of concepts. Opp is not the first company to come into contact with ours, but the smaller or relatively slow response to technology is not aware of the importance of this project, and not every company can handle this innovative technology. "Good-looking light" is not defined by academics, but is produced based on technical breakthroughs and experimental evidence.

  Since its establishment, Opple Lighting has been deeply rooted in the lighting industry for nearly 30 years. From traditional lighting to LED lighting, and then to intelligent lighting, it has invested large-scale funds and R&D forces every year, continuously increasing scientific and technological innovation, and iteratively upgrading products and services.

Opple Lighting SDL2.0 full-scene smart lighting is released

  In recent years, in the face of the increasing demand for intelligent and personalized lighting, Opple Lighting has continued to deepen its SDL (Software Defined Lighting) smart spectroscopy technology. This technology uses software algorithms to drive lighting, and outputs a spectrum close to natural light optics through an independent and independently developed optical engine. As one of the core highlights of this year's Opple Lighting Global Smart Lighting Festival, Opple Lighting's latest development SDL2.0 full-scene smart lighting has also been unveiled.

  As Ma Xiuhui said, "Op people always regard laboratories as 'holy places' and engineers as 'lighters'. From LEDs to the industry's first SDL spectral technology, every breakthrough in Opp lighting hopes to surpass what they see."

  Continuously create the value of light

  With the continuous development of lighting technology and the continuous changes in society's demand for products, Opple Lighting has always adhered to the mission of "creating value with light", closely focusing on user needs, continuously innovating and iterating the quality, effect and experience of light, and is committed to providing users with a more comfortable and healthy lighting environment.

  Promoting large-scale equipment renewal and consumer goods trade-in (hereinafter referred to as the "two new") is an important measure to expand domestic demand and boost consumption. Driven by the "two new" policies, further release consumption potential, promote the upgrading of industries such as home appliances and home decoration, and improve people's quality of life.

  In response to this, Opple Lighting actively responded to policies and seized market opportunities. "Trade trade-in is indeed a major benefit for leading brands, and the effect of driving consumption is very significant. This can be seen from the operating data of many companies in the fourth quarter of last year." A relevant person in charge of Opple Lighting believes that on the one hand, more consumers can enjoy green, healthy and intelligent high-quality products to meet the needs of a better life. At the same time, Opple Lighting will also focus on technological innovation and product quality improvement and upgrading, and continue to launch a number of new products to enhance core competitiveness; on the other hand, consumption is more inclined to brand, promoting the lighting industry to achieve a positive cycle of "good money drives out bad money". "With the advantages of offline channels and a complete after-sales service system, Opple Lighting can quickly accept the demand for old-for-new."

  According to the "2023 China Semiconductor Lighting Industry Development Blue Book" released by CSA, the output value of LED general lighting is 246.6 billion yuan. Opple Lighting has a market share of 3 to 5% in China, ranking among the top. Although the general lighting industry is a relatively fragmented market, it also means that companies have more opportunities and greater room for growth.

  "As a leading brand, we hope to drive the overall market to develop in the direction of focusing on intelligence." The aforementioned relevant person in charge of Opple Lighting said that in addition to continuing to deepen its efforts in home lighting, Opple Lighting will also continuously improve the coverage of the commercial lighting field and output customized smart lighting solutions around different scenarios.

  At present, artificial intelligence technology is penetrating into various fields at an unprecedented speed, and has also had a huge impact on the lighting industry. Opple Lighting began to make advance arrangements a few years ago, and SDL smart spectroscopy technology is a solution for the "AI+ era". "We hope to popularize this technology as soon as possible and convert it into a product, so that everyone can accept this light through a cost-effective way, and truly realize the "one light and a thousand views". This is the development trend in the lighting field in the next 5 to 10 years."

  The person in charge said that whether it is wisdom or intelligence, it is more of a way of control and means. Enterprises should provide a platform and tools to demonstrate the use of light from the perspective of designers and home decoration. This is one of the strategic directions of Opple Lighting in the future. He further added: "We hope to use smart and professional light to pull solutions and reflect the value of light to the fullest."
