LED lighting PK 2020 PHILPS challenge 2000lm/$

With the growing demand for LED lighting, LED factory to get the maximum benefit from the market, must strike a balance between technology development and cost control, so the development direction of the factory from the past focus on the light efficiency ratio (lm/W), and then extended to the price (lm/$) (US $), if the United States Department of energy in 2011 the 2020 1000lm/$, PHILPS is the 2020 target on 2000lm/$.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced in 2011 the development of solid state lighting plan, 2012, warm white and cold white light effect were 141lm/W and 176lm/W, and the LED component price is reached 133.33lm/$and 166.67lm/$respectively; the light effect will warm white and cold white expected 2020 respectively reached 253lm/W and 258lm/W, and the LED component price is reached 1000lm/$.

With the LED chip packaging technology and continuously improve, PHILPS solid state lighting (SSL) expert George Craford believes that the next 10 years will increase towards the lm/W technology and the development of lm/$, the luminous efficiency of warm white and cold white market in 2013 has reached 129lm/W and 164lm/W, and the price is reached and the 196.08lm/$and 250lm/$. The estimated market in 2020 will reach 224lm/W luminous efficiency and 235lm/W respectively, and the price for the same 1429lm/$.

PHILPS is to set a higher development goals, George Craford said, PHILPS goal in 2020 to cool white and warm white light to reach 266lm/W, and is expected to be 2000lm/$.
