The lighting market’s demand across various application segments continues to diversify. In sectors such as industry, sports venues, and roadways, operating conditions vary widely, giving rise to distinct requirements for lighting products: some must withstand extreme cold, others high temperatures; some need corrosion resistance, while others require glare control. Addressing these differentiated needs is the primary challenge that Zopoise tackles when mapping out its product roadmap for the coming year. For 2027, Zopoise’s domestic product strategy will be anchored around two core principles: maximizing luminous efficacy and deepening expertise in niche market segments.

01 High Luminous Efficiency: The Dual Demand for Energy Conservation and Energy Management Models

In the 2027 plan, high luminous efficacy is one of the core guiding principles. Lighting is a major energy consumer; under the overarching mandate to conserve energy and reduce consumption, products that deliver the same level of illumination while using less power are especially valuable in applications such as roadways and industrial settings, where lighting operates continuously over extended periods. Energy efficiency is not merely a cost‑related issue—it is also a key requirement for the industry’s broader transition toward sustainability.

The business models for domestic lighting projects are continually evolving. Contract energy management and energy‑service contracts are becoming increasingly common, with luminaires no longer delivered as one‑off purchases but instead integrated into the long‑term operation of the project. Under this model, luminous efficacy is no longer a specification for individual fixtures; it translates directly into measurable cost savings on the project’s financial statements—higher efficacy means lower electricity bills and a shorter payback period. This is precisely why we place high luminous efficacy at the forefront of our planning.

02 Deeply cultivate niche markets: Become a category‑leading champion in your industry.

Deeply cultivating niche segments is the core strategy for achieving market breakthroughs by 2027. The lighting industry is highly diversified, with generic products suffering from severe homogenization and intense price competition. To build differentiated competitiveness, companies must steer clear of red‑ocean markets, focus on specific application scenarios, and develop deep expertise in a particular domain—progressing steadily toward becoming a category‑leading champion in that specialized segment.

Extreme operating conditions are the ultimate test of a product’s overall performance and the clearest demonstration of its technological depth. Mastering these scenarios enables the establishment of technical barriers that are difficult for competitors to replicate in the short term. Meanwhile, deep expertise in a single product category naturally drives technological advancement across the entire product line. By 2027, we will prioritize two key R&D initiatives: first, corrosion‑resistance technology; and second, precision optical design for venue lighting, enabling fine‑grained glare control.

03 Industrial Lighting: Product Portfolio Tailored for Extreme Operating Conditions

In our 2027 product roadmap, industrial lighting is a key focus area for in-depth market segmentation. Industrial environments are often characterized by complex operating conditions, and prolonged operation imposes sustained demands on energy consumption and maintenance, necessitating tailored, customized solutions. We plan to develop four distinct product lines—cold‑storage, high‑temperature, highly corrosive‑resistant, and high‑color‑rendering—to meet the specific technical requirements of various application scenarios.

Cold‑storage lighting is designed to operate in low‑temperature environments ranging from –20°C to –60°C, requiring lamps that deliver instant illumination while also offering resistance to condensation and frost formation. Due to the extreme temperature differential between the interior and exterior of a cold storage facility, condensation readily forms on the lamp housing; if moisture penetrates the interior, it can damage optical and electrical components. Therefore, an effective sealing design is critical.

Cold storage facility

Lighting for high-temperature environments is designed to operate reliably in conditions ranging from 60°C to 100°C, making it suitable for applications in steel mills, casting workshops, boiler rooms, coking plants, heat‑treatment facilities, high‑temperature kilns, power‑plant boilers, and similar settings. In such harsh thermal conditions, light sources and power supplies age more rapidly; therefore, key components like LED chips and electrolytic capacitors must be selected to meet high‑temperature operating requirements, and the thermal‑management design should incorporate ample margin to ensure stable, long‑term performance.

High-temperature workshop

Lighting products for highly corrosive environments achieve neutral salt spray test durations of 1,000 to 1,500 hours, with some even reaching 2,000 hours. They are suitable for wastewater treatment plants, electroplating workshops, paper mills, seawater desalination facilities, salt farms, fertilizer plants, chlor-alkali plants, and bleaching workshops. The neutral salt spray test is a standard method for evaluating a luminaire’s corrosion resistance; the longer the test duration, the greater the ability of the housing material and surface‑treatment process to withstand salt and acid–alkali erosion, ensuring reliable long‑term performance in such harsh, corrosive conditions.

Wastewater treatment plant

In addition to high- and low-temperature‑resistant and corrosion‑proof products, we have also developed high‑color‑rendering industrial lighting that meets CRI ≥ 90 requirements. The closer the color rendering index is to 100, the more naturally the light source reproduces object colors, making it ideal for a wide range of commercial settings—such as fresh‑food markets, textile shops, exhibition spaces, and retail stores—that demand exceptional color fidelity.

04 Road Lighting: High Luminous Efficacy with Intelligent Control

In the road lighting segment, by 2027 we will launch products with a luminous efficacy of 200–220 lm/W, equipped with an intelligent control system.

Outdoor streetlights are exposed to the elements year-round, enduring the effects of diurnal temperature fluctuations, rain, and airborne dust. Therefore, robust stability and long-term reliable operation are essential requirements. The system employs a one‑lamp‑one‑control architecture, supporting remote on/off switching, stepless dimming, proactive fault reporting, energy consumption metering, and real-time data collection. The project can adjust lamp power based on traffic volume during different time periods, provides automatic alerts for equipment malfunctions, and collects energy‑consumption data for each individual luminaire, delivering comprehensive data support for operations and maintenance. Previously, streetlight maintenance relied on manual inspections, which were time‑consuming and costly; with this system in place, lamp status is monitored online, leading to a significant boost in operational efficiency.

05 Floodlighting and Venue Illumination: Corrosion Resistance and Precision Optics

In the field of floodlighting, by 2027 the focus will be on developing highly corrosion‑resistant products, with neutral salt spray test durations ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 hours, targeting high‑corrosion environments such as offshore platforms, port terminals, and ship‑repair yards. These settings are characterized by persistent high humidity and elevated salt‑spray concentrations, placing particularly stringent demands on the corrosion‑resistance performance of enclosures.

Offshore drilling platform

At the heart of venue lighting lies precise optical design, with particular emphasis on controlling glare—measured by the GR value. The GR rating is a standardized glare assessment scale: the lower the value, the more effective the glare suppression. Since athletes’ movements and line-of-sight angles vary across different sports, glare‑control standards are tailored accordingly: tennis venues require GR ≤ 55, badminton GR ≤ 30, table tennis GR ≤ 40, and swimming facilities GR ≤ 40; basketball, volleyball, handball, and indoor soccer arenas also adhere to GR ≤ 40, ensuring that field illumination meets the stringent requirements of professional competitions. Professional‑level venues impose far stricter lighting criteria than ordinary spaces, with comprehensive standards covering illuminance uniformity, color rendering, and glare—making this one of the most demanding aspects of optical design.

06 Explosion-proof Products: A New Growth Driver

Explosion-proof lighting is a key emerging growth area that the domestic market is prioritizing for development through 2027. In recent years, with increasingly stringent safety‑production requirements and the continued expansion of industries such as chemical parks and lithium‑ion energy storage, demand for explosion‑proof lighting has been steadily rising. We will deploy tailored lighting solutions for high‑hazard environments, including chemical and petrochemical facilities, lithium‑ion battery and energy‑storage plants, grain and oil processing sites, timber‑processing operations, and powder‑handling systems. These settings often harbor flammable gases or dusts, necessitating luminaires that comply with the appropriate explosion‑proof rating and are suited to their specific application zones. Light sources, power supplies, and enclosure designs must all meet rigorous explosion‑proof standards to mitigate on‑site safety risks. Moreover, zoning varies across different hazardous areas, leading to differing explosion‑proof classification requirements; therefore, products must be selected to match the specific operating conditions of each environment.

Chemical engineering scenario

Overall, Zopoise’s 2027 product roadmap will continue to be implemented along two key pillars: high luminous efficacy and deep specialization in niche application scenarios. Moving forward, we will roll out a series of posts, breaking down the R&D progress, product features, and target use cases for each product line. We also welcome industry partners to engage in open dialogue and share their valuable insights.
