LED lighting market has a huge

Global lighting market at twenty billion, in the production of incandescent lamp, Ban Ban specification in 2012 after the road, although the penetration rate of energy-saving fluorescent lamp still prevail, but in the rise of the global environmental awareness, LED has been pushing the policy, one of the lighting plan LED lighting will push for many countries in the priority of the imported products. The market research agency estimates, 2011 LED lighting penetration rate of 3%, shipments will reach six hundred million, the output value of $8 billion. As of 2013, with 40 watts and 60 watts of traditional light off the tide, the overall market size will increase to two billion and five hundred million.

Japan and South Korea and North America and other countries have to implement the subsidy policy of LED lighting and other green products, currently including stores, shops and factories and other places also have a higher willingness of replacement for the LED lighting, estimated that in 2011 the global LED lighting penetration is expected to exceed 10%, attract Nichia, PHILPS, OSRAM and CREE and other business opportunities for manufacturers. As more and more countries began to replace the budget LED lights, LED lighting plus the annual price drop of more than 30% pieces, estimated 2013 penetration will increase to nearly 20%, the market prospects can be expected.

Because the product design characteristics of the source LED, special and high efficiency driving circuit, and in optical design, LED is a one-way point light source, optical design can be very good, can make the light to reach the designated area, at the same time reduce the reflection, all these can improve the irradiation effect, so the cost should be the key pointer off illumination application evaluation LED.

From the LED production technology with availability, Chinese local government also proposed to reduce the tax rate, to speed up the equipment replacement, and free preferential measures, so the plan is to encourage Chinese LED manufacturers to expand existing production capacity, but also led to many new entrants, and from Taiwan and South Korea manufacturers have to enter joint ventures China, they have become the driving factors of Chinese capacity increasing.

Because of this, we believe that the massive market LED lighting has activated conditions.

Lighting market is the first activation of outdoor large angle of illumination, such as street lights, billboards, etc.. Indoor lighting activated first will be long-term lighting applications, including tunnels, supermarkets, factories, shopping malls, office buildings (Leng Baiguang), is expected by the end of 2011 or so most of the commercial lighting home lighting is mainly activated, high-end customers.

However, the LED lighting market is also facing many challenges, in addition to price, for example to improve the luminous efficiency, reduce glare and improve the optical configuration and uniformity are the focus, especially in the field of replace fluorescent lamp is especially important. The existence of high efficiency LED high color temperature and other shortcomings. Due to the use of different habits, some applications (such as clothing stores) or some countries (such as most Asian countries) need to lower the temperature of warm white light, which is the largest loss of about 30% of the light source efficiency. For this reason, the threshold of activation of warm white light is higher than the cold white light, we estimate that when the cost of LED can be reduced by about 40%, warm white light will have the current cold white economy, is expected in this time around the end of 2011.
