Luoman Lighting: Let Wisdom "Light Up" Urban Life

The city's first micro-hub site has taken shape recently at Suning Life Plaza in Wujiaochang, integrating rail interchange, bus information inquiry, taxi calling, bicycle rental and other functions. Among them, the 4-meter-high smart street lights are the most eye-catching.

　　This smart product has "eighteen martial arts". It can not only illuminate, but also can call a car and ask for help with one click. Citizens can also query maps, browse news, and obtain business districts, buses, and rail transit through the touch screen on the street light pole. and other information. The designer behind it is Shanghai Luoman Lighting Technology Co., Ltd.

　　Founded in 1999, Shanghai Luoman Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Luoman ") is a well-known provider of overall urban landscape lighting solutions in China, specializing in the overall planning and design, construction and professional lighting of urban and regional landscape lighting. , The implementation of the energy-saving renovation project is the first enterprise in Shanghai that has the construction qualification of "City and Road Lighting Engineering Professional Contracting Class I" issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

　　Over the past 16 years, the company has adhered to the strategic thinking of "innovation-driven, transformational development", and has successfully transformed from a small lighting installation workshop with more than a dozen people to a technology company listed on the New Third Board, realizing the business model transformation from a service provider to an operator. Become a leader in the landscape lighting segment industry. In recent years, the company's operating scale and strength have continued to grow, and the main business income has maintained a growth of more than 50% for five consecutive years.

　　At the beginning of its establishment, Luoman is a small workshop with an annual operating income of several hundred thousand and a dozen people, specializing in the production and construction of lighting assembly and installation. Sun Kaijun, general manager of the company, recalled that the company has undergone several important transformations on the road of development.

　　In 2005, through the establishment of a professional lighting design company, Luoman has transformed from a low-tech, labor-intensive construction enterprise to a cultural and creative enterprise with design innovation and technical practice as the leader, driving the project with advanced design ideas and overall planning concepts. The implementation of the company has completed the leap in revenue from one million to ten million.

　　In 2007, the company divested its subordinate manufacturers through equity, and truly changed from selling products to selling services by tailoring products according to market and customer needs, realizing the transformation from a production-oriented enterprise to a service-oriented enterprise and winning more customers. At the same time, the company's revenue and profit margins have risen to a high level.

　　In 2010, in order to avoid the limitations brought by the development of artistic creativity alone, Luoman established a special R&D department, increased investment in scientific and technological research and development, and added the wings of technology to lighting art works.

　　Awaken the city's history and culture

　　The Bund, starting from Waibaidu Bridge in the north and extending to the Zhongshan East 2nd Road area of ​​Xinkaihe Zhongshan East 1st Road in the south, is about 1,800 meters long. It is located at the intersection of Huangpu River and Suzhou River. Precipitation is also a symbol of Shanghai.

　　Aesthetics and creativity are the keys to the artistic expression of landscape lighting. In the design of the South Bund lighting, Luoman emphasized the display of regional characteristics, the reflection of historical and cultural characteristics, the expression of aesthetic effects and overall harmony. At the same time, in the lighting shaping of urban space and landscape, the emphasis is on the grasp of the overall and major relationship, so as to ensure the clear priority and coordinated development of the night landscape.

　　The Bund, which condenses modern civilization, has more than 20 "buildings of all countries" erected continuously. The complex styles can be revealed from the windows, columns, arches and decorative veneers of the buildings. Luoman's design is based on the concept of "making the Bund more refined and artistic". Through the careful elaboration of the detailed structure, either LED wall washers or low-power LED floodlights are used to decorate the building, and lighting is used for architectural beauty. , truly restore and highlight the wonderful details of the building.

　　No. 1 on the Bund is known as "the first building on the Bund", with 8 floors. The building's exterior has an eclectic style. The bottom section and the upper section are both baroque and the middle section is a modernist architectural style. The lighting focuses on the horizontal and vertical three-segment structure of the building, reflecting the grandeur of the building, which is concise and grand.

　　The exterior of China Everbright Bank adopts a classical architectural style, with the main entrance as the axis and symmetrical on both sides. The spotlight illuminates the column, and the wall washer spreads evenly on the wall and window frame, which visually feels quite thick and well-proportioned. It shows the architectural features of the French Renaissance as a whole.

　　On the banks of the brightly lit Huangpu River, the shadow of Luoman  design can be seen everywhere. Sun Kaijun said that when carrying out the overall planning of the urban area, Luoman is more concerned about "highlighting the characteristics of each area". "The South Bund highlights the positioning of the historical and cultural and core business districts, while the North Bund highlights the characteristics of the harbor. The Yangpu Riverside section, which is being planned, will be under the theme of 'Brightening Yangpu, Lighting the Future', highlighting the integration of history and modernity."

　　Turning works of art into technological achievements

　　The professional design team has greatly improved the company's brand image and business capabilities, but the perfect interpretation of outstanding ideas is inseparable from the support of science and technology.

　　Due to the lack of relevant industry standards in the domestic urban landscape lighting market, the market entry threshold is low. At present, there are mostly small and medium-sized enterprises in the industry, with more than 100 construction qualifications, and the market concentration is low.

　　In the technical aspect of landscape lighting design, Luoman mainly controls from the aspects of reasonable method, advanced technology, scientific management, etc., aiming to provide perfect, sustainable and intelligent lighting solutions, including energy saving and environmental protection, green lighting, Intelligent control and other content to achieve the perfect combination of art and technology.

　　Creativity and R&D are the two core competencies of the company, and the complementarity of art and technology has resulted in many outstanding projects of Luoman .

　　The Shanghai Wujiaochang Easter Egg Project, as the first example of point-to-point control of LEDs in China, won the Creative Award of the First Shanghai LED Lighting Technology and Landscape Engineering Selection Competition.

　　The urban planning of Wujiaochang, born in the 1930s, is the characteristic of Shanghai urban area formed by history, and it is also a unique and valuable urban landscape resource in the construction of Yangpu innovative urban area. After several years of construction and development, the Wujiaochang area has become the focus of modern technology in Yangpu District, an exhibition area for urban commerce, a vent for Shanghai-style culture, and a big stage for public events. The "Wujiaochang Easter Egg" has also become a symbol of Yangpu and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

　　When designing the lighting of Wujiaochang business district, Luoman focused on the Easter eggs in Wujiaochang and the surrounding buildings as screens. Taking advantage of Wujiaochang's regional advantages, geographical advantages, and architectural advantages, he used high-tech landscape and lighting performance art to achieve the goal of lighting, The co-creation of film and television, performing arts, music, fireworks, and water features enables people to focus on Wujiaochang and Yangpu, and experience the endless fun and visual experience brought by technological creativity, culture and art to urban life.

　　Today, Luoman  has achieved a "double transformation" from a purely cultural creativity to a technologically innovative enterprise, from a simple lighting application business to a developer.

　　The company has a number of patented technologies such as intelligent street lamp control system and decorative optical fiber mesh, and continues to increase the research and development of new products. Luoman  and the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology signed an agreement on production, learning and research to strengthen scientific research strength with the help of external forces.

　　The patent invented by both parties - LED high-power cooling system, effectively solves the problem of short service life of existing LED lamps due to poor heat dissipation. Compared with the existing loop heat pipe technology, the manufacturing cost of the heat dissipation device is lower, and the production difficulty is effectively reduced. The working fluid in the device can quickly return to the capillary structure wire mesh in the evaporator, and the heat dissipation effect is remarkable.

　　In April last year, the Academician and Expert Workstation of Shanghai Luoman Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. was unveiled and established. The workstation expert database is composed of optical experts, Zhuang Songlin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and seven experts from his team. They help companies in product research and development in three fields, including testing technology, control technology, and optical engineering. Through the establishment of close cooperation with scientific research institutions, Luoman's green energy-saving application technology will be expected to be greatly improved.

　　Embrace big data and transform to a "smart city"

　　Intelligent control is the future development trend of the lighting industry. The integration of management and control is the key technology of lighting energy saving.

　　In order to accelerate the company's development, Luoman  has started a new project layout this year, based on the existing business, to transform into a "smart city". In addition to the smart street lights in front of Suning Life Plaza, a total of 25 smart street lights will be distributed in the Wujiaochang area in the future.

　　In addition to realizing the nighttime lighting function, smart street lights can also be used as an interface platform for citizens to inquire about various information such as buses and subways under the street lights, which enhances the real-time and convenience for citizens to understand public transportation information outdoors. It can also be combined with Didi taxi-hailing equipment for "instant taxi-hailing" and "reservation-calling" to solve the problem of difficulty in taxis for some citizens, especially the elderly. In addition, public rental bicycles can be borrowed and returned in different places within the Jiangwan-Wujiaochang area, solving the "last mile" problem of surrounding residents' travel.

　　According to reports, the company is currently building the project of "city management big data cloud control system based on smart public lighting system", which is the company's strategic research and development project for "city smart public lighting system". On the one hand, the project will realize multi-platform, intelligent and real-time urban intelligent public lighting system operation and urban management big data collection, and realize the optimization of urban public lighting system control, maintenance and energy saving and emission reduction through intelligent control, on the other hand, It will provide real-time data support, early warning and forecasting services for urban public management through the urban management big data collection and public data access functions of scalable and modular smart public lighting terminal network combination.

　　In the future, the company will continue to explore the road of transformation and development, with the application of smart city as the direction, to promote the integration of lighting intelligent monitoring data operation and smart city; promote the concept of green and low-carbon development, take energy-saving transformation as the carrier, and serve the wisdom of the city Lighting system.
