The Healthy Light Lettuce created by Cosio Lighting means to bring health, brightness and wealth to people, hopping that people will have a smooth, safe, healthy and prosperous new year.

 

Walking across Tongji Bridge is a traditional custom in Foshan with a history of more than 400 years. The saying When you walk across Tongji Bridge, there will be no trouble”has long been famous in Foshan city, Guangdong Province, China. It means that if you walk across the Tongji Bridge on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you can eliminate diseases and worries and gain happiness and health. This custom started in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. Every household would support the old and the young to do it. From early morning to night, holding windmills, shaking wind chimes, and carrying lettuce, they would walk across the Tongji Bridge from north to south. To this day, It has lasted for more than 400 years, attracting tens of millions of people every year, not only Foshan locals or migrant workers, but also many Guangzhou and Hong Kong and Macao compatriots. According to official data, the number of visitors to Walking across Tongji Bridge is close to 800,000,the actual number of visitors exceeded one million.

 

This year, the district government hopes to use new technology to express health and better wishes during the Walking across Tongji Bridge Activities. We came to Walking across Tongji Bridge Activities with the healthy lighting. This time, the Tongji Bridge Lettuce Pool introduced the Healthy Light Strip customized by Guangdong Cosio Lighting Co., Ltd. The spectrum of the light strip simulates the sunlight at 6 or 7 o'clock in the morning, increasing the red light spectrum, without stroboscopic and blue light damage, allowing citizens to watch the lettuce and don’t have to worry about hurting eyes anymore. The Healthy Light Lettuce created by Cosio Lighting means to bring health, brightness and wealth to people, hopping that people will have a smooth, safe, healthy and prosperous new year.

Foshan's lettuce pond sculpture was lit up for the first time, adding a unique charm to this historic city. The new lighting initiative is not only the inheritance and innovation of traditional culture, but also symbolizes the vigorous development of Chancheng District’s health industry and the combination of long cultural heritage. With the slogan Healthy Light, Chancheng First, we advocate a healthy lifestyle and promote the entire society to move in a healthier and better direction.

 

Foshan Chancheng District has always been committed to promoting the development of the health industry and providing better health services to citizens. The Chancheng District Government has formulated a series of health promotion policies and projects and actively promoted their implementation, becoming a nationwide pioneer. In June 2023, Chancheng Education System took the lead in launching the three-year special action of "Protect and Brighten Eyes", striving to achieve 100% student vision health screening and dynamic monitoring filing rate, and the deployment and training of full-time and part-time campus visual health promotion teams. The three goals of 100% rate and 100% students’ awareness rate of eye protection knowledge will reduce the myopia rate among students in the district by more than 2%. 

 

Under the guidance of the leaders of the Chancheng District Education Bureau, in accordance with the quality and technical supervision standards and standards of Foshan Cosio Lighting Health Engineering Technology Research Institute, Guangdong Cosio Lighting Co., Ltd., Foshan Fuxing Chancheng Hospital Co., Ltd., and Foshan City, Guangdong Province The group standard of "Exemplary Classroom Environmental Requirements and Testing Methods" jointly drafted by the Coding Institute, Foshan Lighting Association, and Jihua Laboratory will transform and upgrade the light environment of most primary and secondary schools in Chancheng District in 2023. The standard sets requirements for the color rendering index Ra≥95 and R9≥90 of the light environment indicators; the minimum limit for the air negative ion concentration required by the environment should not be less than 2,000/cm³, and the concentration value of negative ions is harmful to human health. The impact is divided into three evaluation levels: appropriate, good and excellent. It is stipulated that PM2.5 particles and formaldehyde in classrooms should meet the requirements of no higher than 0.025 mg/m³ and no higher than 0.04mg/m³ respectively. Healthy classrooms upgraded and renovated using new standards play an important guiding role in reducing students' myopia rates, improving the immunity of teachers and students, preventing depression in teenagers, and ensuring the health of teachers and students in primary and secondary schools at work and study.

 

Compared with sunlight,the spectral parameters of traditional lighting fixtures are too different. The main manifestations are that the spectrum is not full, the blue light is too high, and the red light is missing. Traditional lighting fixtures have serious stroboscopic phenomena, and unhealthy light can cause migraines, endocrine disorders, premature children, adolescent myopia, depression, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other problems.

 

So far, Guangdong Cosio Lighting Co., Ltd.has used light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) systems to transform classroom lighting and environment in nearly 60 primary and secondary schools in the district. The light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) system applies healthy light. Through intelligent control, it can replicate the sunlight at 8 and 9 o'clock in the morning to make the light healthier. On the other hand, through scientific and technological innovation, the light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) system can comprehensively eliminate viruses without harming human health. At the same time, the light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) system can not only disinfect viruses, but also purify formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, smoke and other odors in the air, which is beneficial to human health and provides a new solution for shaping a healthy indoor environment. Moreover, the light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) system transformation plan is simple and convenient, easy to operate, has low cost, is not affected by the environment, can realize the transformation of classroom space in a short time, does not interfere with normal teaching, and is very conducive to primary and secondary schools at all levels and anytime, anywhere for renovation and upgrade.

 

The significance of the Foshan Lettuce Pool lighting up for the first time using the healthy lighting is not only to shape the landmark image of Chancheng District, but more importantly, to demonstrate the foresight of Chancheng District in the field of health industry. With the healthy lighting as its banner, Chancheng District will continue to actively promote the development of the health industry and continue to provide citizens with a better living environment. We actively promote the transformation of health classrooms or use the light of health to transform the lettuce pool, hoping that more citizens will understand the health of light. We look forward to seeing the successful experience of Chancheng First Health be promoted throughout the province and even the country. Contribute more to the well-being of the people and promotion of development.
