How Lighting Companies Achieve Technological Innovation (Part 1) — Foshan Lighting, Hengkun Optoelectronics, Seoul Semiconductor
Since the beginning of this year, preparations for the "2022 First China (Shenzhen) Lighting Industry Supply Chain Technology Innovation Exhibition" (CLITI Exhibition) have been proceeding in an orderly manner, attracting widespread attention and active participation from both within and outside the industry. Exhibiting companies have actively responded to the exhibition's theme of "Integration of Technological Innovation, Intelligent and Green Quality Improvement," expressing their intention to use the CLITI Exhibition as a platform to centrally showcase technological innovation achievements and innovative models in the lighting industry, leading high-quality industry development. The China Lighting Association has collected insights on achieving technological innovation from key industry enterprises. These enterprise contents will be published successively on the association's official WeChat account and the WeChat account of China Light Network. Please continue to follow.
Today, we share the views of representatives from well-known domestic and international enterprises such as Foshan Lighting, Hengkun Optoelectronics, and Seoul Semiconductor on how lighting companies can achieve technological innovation.
01 Wei Bin, Deputy General Manager of Foshan Lighting:
Introduce technological elements that drive enterprise and industry development into corporate technological innovation

Wei Bin
Enterprises are now facing a new development landscape. The industry is continuously undergoing innovation and transformation, with the overall sector moving towards specialized segments, product intelligence, and high value-added products. These trends impose higher requirements on enterprises' R&D capabilities and market service levels. Therefore, enterprises should consider introducing technological elements that drive corporate and industry development into their technological innovation efforts, thereby promoting the high-quality development of the lighting industry.
Foshan Lighting has always attached great importance to R&D and technological innovation. By establishing a postdoctoral workstation, building innovation platforms, carrying out industry-university-research cooperation, and participating in the formulation of industry technical standards, we accelerate the company's scientific and technological R&D and innovation efforts. We continuously contribute products with genuine competitiveness that create value for customers, creating a healthy and comfortable lighting environment.
Foshan Lighting is a vice-chairman unit of the China Association of Lighting Industry (CALI). At the 2022 China (Shenzhen) Lighting Industry Chain Technology Innovation Exhibition (CLITI), it had a 108-square-meter booth, showcasing its R&D achievements accumulated over many years in general lighting, automotive lighting, and smart lighting.

The core of corporate innovation lies in helping customers solve problems. When faced with certain personalized customer requirements, companies may abandon projects during the evaluation or implementation phase due to technical limitations that prevent them from meeting customer needs. However, Hengkun Optoelectronics takes a different approach: we first assess whether these personalized requirements represent a new direction for development. If so, Hengkun will have its R&D team continuously follow up. During the R&D process, we invent and innovate multiple new technologies. When Hengkun uses these new technologies to solve challenges in other projects, the value of previous innovations becomes even more prominent.
As companies continuously address product pain points through technological innovation, they often encounter unexpected benefits. These serendipitous gains from innovation enable businesses to tackle other challenges with greater ease and confidence.
At the 2022 China (Shenzhen) Lighting Industry / Supply Chain Technology Innovation Exhibition (CLITI), Hengkun will have a 36-square-meter booth. Using this as a platform, in addition to showcasing the Indoor lighting Qilin Optical Platform, it will also debut its newly developed Outdoor Lighting Matrix Optical Platform.
03 Xu Xiaomin, General Manager of the Lighting Business Division, Seoul Semiconductor Greater China:
The key to achieving technological innovation in enterprises is talent

The key to achieving technological innovation in enterprises is talent. On one hand, it is necessary to strengthen talent development and the construction of incentive systems; on the other hand, investment in hardware, including laboratories and equipment, is required. Enterprises should encourage employees to observe and learn more, listen closely to customer feedback and market responses. This will help talent deepen their understanding of market demands, accelerate innovation in niche sectors, and enable the enterprise to pursue technological innovation with clear focus and achieve greater success.
In addition, it is more important to register and maintain patents for technological innovation achievements, thereby safeguarding the interests of corporate innovation.
Seoul Semiconductor is the chair unit of the Optoelectronic Components Professional Committee of the China Association of Lighting Industry. At the China (Shenzhen) Lighting Industry Chain Technological Innovation Exhibition, it mainly exhibits products in three areas: outdoor industrial, horticultural lighting, and healthy lighting. In addition to launching full-spectrum LED products and conventional LED products, it will also introduce ultra-high luminous efficacy products mainly suitable for outdoor and industrial lighting.
