LED lighting civilian energy saving does not save money?

In the face of global climate change and rising energy prices, governments have begun to put some high energy consuming products as the first disable object, in terms of energy saving has obvious advantages of LED also get the opportunity, some experts assert that the future of the total lighting market will exceed LED billion yuan.

China has made LED light source technology used in city lighting, landscape lighting, city traffic, commercial and residential lighting projects as energy-saving special major science and technology promotion, and emerging industries listed as "12th Five-Year" strategic. In the lighting industry ranks first in the country of Guangdong, according to the 12th Five-Year Guangdong outline of planning, semiconductor lighting and other emerging industries have become the focus of the development of strategic emerging industries.

However, China's LED lighting industry is strong in the downstream of the package and application of core technology products upstream of LED wafer and chip market by several major foreign giants monopoly, which also makes the cost of LED lighting in China has been high, ordinary people difficult to accept the high price.

Technical bottleneck is not broken, difficult to solve the price problem

Quan Jian, President of the Guangdong Provincial Association of electrical lighting, now 18 watt LED lamps can reach 1400 lumens (luminous flux per unit time, describe the source radiation intensity of the visual response ability, the larger the number is, the brighter the light), and 40 watt incandescent lamps only 400 lumens, thus saving energy level of LED lighting the high. However, he also bluntly, for large-scale LED lighting into the civilian, urgent need to solve the price problem: "18 watt LED lamps to the retail price of 200 yuan early, while the 40 watt incandescent price was one or two yuan, for ordinary people, LED lights when in use although it will save electricity, but in the case of purchase the cost of unit brightness but not to save money. "

Why is the price of LED lights down? The first is the hands of the giant with the core technology of the upstream material controlled by foreign manufacturers, downstream pay technology costs considerable; two is caused by the situation of production enterprises, in the recently held Asian LED Lighting Forum, Chinese Lighting Appliance Association chairman Chen Yansheng pointed out that the characteristics of China's lighting business is small, the number, because most companies do not scale, technology is not excellent, qualified rate of product is low, the natural LED lights cost more.

This year is the first year of LED development, next year or its civil peak

LED was hailed as the first year of large-scale development of LED this year, the development of enterprise is not easy, but all this is a turning point. Chen Yansheng said that in the "12th Five-Year" period, the relevant departments to encourage qualified enterprises listed, the capital market will be bigger and stronger enterprises, this is a good chance to expand the strength of the enterprise LED.

In fact, many lighting companies have been eager. President of Limited by Share Ltd Tongfang semiconductor lighting business department, deputy general manager, Guangdong Asia Lighting Technology Co. Ltd. Wu Feng Wen said, in order to realize that LED lighting into the homes of ordinary people, Tsinghua Tongfang investment in 2010 3 billion in Nantong Jiangsu industrial base construction of high brightness LED application integrated, through the introduction of independent research and development and so, the company has mastered the key technology including high brightness blue green LED epitaxial wafer and chip production preparation engineering, have technical strength and international standards. The company has broken the wafer, chip technology has been the United States, Japan, Europe and other countries monopoly situation, to have their own China "core" Chinese LED industry, reduce the cost and create more possibilities for LED lighting into the old people's home. On this basis, this year Tsinghua Tongfang LED industry output value is expected to exceed 2 billion 500 million yuan, which means that Tsinghua Tongfang this year will grow by up to 100%, the growth rate ranks first in the domestic LED lighting industry.

In addition, OPPLE, TCL, NVC lighting industry giants have also begun to LED olive branch, from the technical aspect. It is understood that the NVC has carried out cooperation projects with a number of universities, invite famous experts, experts, electric light source lamp HID experts, electronics expert as research center consultant, the formation of a team of experts, to improve the level of R & D.

At the Asian LED Lighting Forum Taiwan ITRI optoelectronic components and system application of group leader Zhu Mudao think, LED lighting market development curve, 2012 will be the development of a watershed. We look forward to break through the bottleneck of technology to solve the problem of energy saving is not the problem, in 2012, LED lights into the family era will come.
