Let’s take a look at the USA. Lighting design was separated from building and indoor design, became a single industry since 1950s. So the lighting designers were trained well and the talents were sufficient ande even the global elite joined them. As a result, the US lighting design industry is very developed as other industries, quite different from China on the development.
2nd, the lighting designed ability gap. In western developed countries, lighting designer is a single job which admitted by law. The general lighting institute develop on the brand, and the designer developed to be an expert from the beginning to the end.
A designer is required to be good at light design, also be responsible for the project and environment he designed. If a person of a company gets hurt on the eyes by the light, he can complain the employer and the employer can charge the designer.
But in China, most of the designer was not originally not a designer; They did not get good and systematized training, they learned the design by themselves through books or internet. Therefore they are not so professional on the design.
3rd, the gap of detailed application market between China and developed countries.
From the application part, we can know that the features of developed country application market are: the lighting area is very distinct one by one. These situation cause they have very professional talents on all respects of lighting design. But in China, one designer must know everything of the whole lighting project, this may cause the project not so professional and perfect.
There is a long way to go for china lighting design industry. As the economy increase d year by year, we believe our lighting industry will also improved year by year.
