Program overview
The Light Source and Lighting program falls under the Electrical Engineering category. Simply put, it's about "how to create good light and how to use it well." You'll study core courses like light source principles (e.g., LEDs, lasers, fluorescent lamps), optical design, lighting circuits, and intelligent control systems. There's plenty of hands-on practice, such as designing the light path of a lamp, adjusting color temperature, and creating smart dimming solutions. China is a global leader in LED and semiconductor lighting, and many universities have dedicated lighting labs and industry-university partnerships, giving you access to the latest chip packaging and optical simulation technologies. This program is ideal for students interested in physics, circuits, and design—if you enjoy blending technology with aesthetics, it's a perfect fit.
