As a branch of the lighting industry, portable lighting has occupied an indispensable position in the modern life. China's portable lighting products industry has maintained a stable development trend this year.

Portable lighting includes flashlights, portable electronic lamps, desk lamps, floor lamps, LED flashlights, rainbow lamps, emergency lights, and headlight lamps. Portable lighting fixtures are widely used in daily life and are widely used. Lighting tools, including the most common flashlights, with the constant maturity of China's LED industry, LED light source performance has stabilized, the price is declining, more and more people are recognized. According to the statistics of China Lighting Association, the penetration rate of LED light source products in portable lighting equipment in China reached 35% in 2010 and will reach about 65% by 2013.

At present, with the global transfer of production bases, China has become an important portable lighting product production base in the world. In 2010, the output value of portable lighting products in China reached 2.01 billion U.S. dollars and exports exceeded 800 million U.S. dollars. The following table shows the trends in the output value of portable mobile lighting products in China.

The earliest portable lighting can be traced back to human primitive society. At that time, the torch was the originator of the flashlight, followed by oil lamps, candles, kerosene lamps, incandescent light bulb flashlights, and xenon light bulb flashlights. Lamps, miner's lamps, headlights, etc., are the evolution of portable lighting.

According to the inquiry from the Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China, the patents for my portable lighting currently include 757 invention patents and 4481 utility model patents, subdivided into: devices with on-board generators, fluid-driven, hand-driven , mechanically driven, such as clockwork, manual operation of the reciprocating pusher, inorganic power supply, such as devices connected to the power grid, portable, such as hand lights. At present, there are more than 200 patents for LED flashlights in China, of which nearly 100 are design patents. These new LED flashlights have power saving, high light intensity, far vision, small size, low cost, simple circuit, easy to carry and operate, and can even effectively realize the change of LED color, such as shining, full bright, semi-bright and different colors. The advantages of light effects.

The design requirements for portable lighting have undergone tremendous changes in the past few years. The continuous upgrade of portable lighting features did not show signs of slowing down. As designers provide users with unprecedented features and broader applications, the next generation of portable lighting will continue to upgrade, which will inevitably present new power design challenges to designers.
