Exploring The Factors Relating to The Design and Development of Smart Lights in China

Abstract

This study comprehensively explores various factors pertaining to the development and design of smart lights in China, encompassing economic value, future iterations, innovative features, competitive analysis, sustainability, manufacturing processes, ideology, efficiency, sustainability literacy, production components, and budget considerations. Employing a qualitative research design with random sampling, the study targets producers and designers of Smart Bulbs in China, specifically those actively marketing and advertising their smart bulbs in 2022. Data collection involved interviews, and thematic analysis was utilized for data analysis, identifying eight key themes that informed thematic and framework-based analysis. The study's results highlight the significance of effectiveness and sustainability in smart bulb production, necessitating advanced tools and approaches. Competitive analysis emerged as a common practice among analysts and designers to assess differentiating features and unique selling points. Notably, these bulbs are environmentally friendly as they are mercuryfree. Quality, along with factors such as material and labor costs and additional expenses, impacts production. The study holds theoretical and practical significance by contributing to the existing literature on the examined variables, particularly benefiting Chinese smart bulb producers and designers. It underscores the importance of social sustainability in adopting smart lighting solutions and calls for addressing consumer concerns about durability, performance, and reliability. Furthermore, it advocates for integrating sustainable consumer behavior into the context of smart lighting. It's important to note that the study does not encompass all potential factors impacting customer behavior and intentions to purchase smart lighting solutions, leaving room for future research to explore areas like price effects, the utility of LED products, and design elements through longitudinal studies.
