PHILPS executives said......

Last June, the fire of London grefell building, killing 71 people, triggered a global concern. The fire also sounded the alarm for fire safety and emergency treatment of the edifice. A senior PHILPS executives also admitted that now fire certificate variety, fire safety and emergency lighting standards are damaged.

PHILPS OEM business development manager Peter Earle said in an interview: "we know that if you find the right person, you can get a certificate of building fire easily, regardless of your (emergency lighting device) is tested. This is a very unfortunate thing."

The automatic test is part of the solution, but also a challenge to education. If you check, you can shut down the system and check. Automatic test and self test must be the direction of development, such as the latest BS5366 standard also mentioned the automatic test and self test."

Earle believes that the future will be a dynamic emergency lighting system, can adapt to the change of environment in real time, to ensure the safety of.

"The system will eventually become the adaptive system, will learn, real-time situation of existing historical data, building machines, such as people where to go? Whether they are in order to escape?"

In recent years, the occurrence of spontaneous combustion in lithium ion battery, notebook computer and mobile phone on the plane has been reported in many. For example, in 2013, four Boeing 787 Dreamliner for lithium ion battery and electrical system; in 2016, lithium ion battery Samsung Galaxy Note 7 mobile phone problems after the ban on flying.

On the current lithium ion battery into the emergency lighting system triggered by the controversy, Earle also talked about his own views.

"I think we need to keep an open attitude towards these new technologies.

"I'm not too worried about these. The advantages of lithium ion batteries is of long service life, high power density. In the lighting, you need to keep it long time consumption."

"Like some other techniques like lamps on the ceiling, the battery will not discharge."

"[the other] lithium battery benefits are parasitic power. Lithium can well save electricity, therefore does not need to be recharged frequently, only the trickle charge can maintain the best state of charge, in preparation for emergency lighting."

He also hinted that the field will launch some new products.

"Some of the specific chemical substances can be used for lighting. I think we need to adopt an open attitude, need to be prepared for changes in the next few months and years of market dynamics." (compiled: LED James)
