LED lighting market to take off both sides of the LED industry complementary attention

Lighting with LED chip and breakthroughs in technology research and development, will greatly enhance the efficiency of LED, is expected to accelerate the lighting level LED chip price downward revision, according to the U.S. Department of energy (DOE) estimates that 2015 will reach $1 level and 500 lumens, the LED lighting unit cost $1 to buy 200 lumens EPISTAR said that by the end of 2010, the red LED light emitting efficiency, the 180lm/W is expected to reach a record high, is expected to enhance price competitiveness and technology in Taiwan factory, the fastest expected early in 2012 to reach the goal of DOE, driven by the global LED lighting penetration rate reached 30%.

LED lighting market took off, cross-strait LED industry cooperation has attracted much attention and the thirteenth Beijing Taiwan Science and Technology Forum 14 held last month, LED lighting for the first time to become the industry's agenda, the LED industry has called the godfather of Ye Yinfu for the first time as a moderator of the forum's LED, Ye Yinfu believes that the past LED industry once failed, the traditional lighting industry development there have been failures precedent, are mainly problems in the quality standard, Taiwan, from upstream to downstream application industry supply chain integrity, competitive component in vertical integration, with improved luminous efficiency, lower the price, there will be a positive help for the development of LED lighting, the LED lighting unit cost has reached $1 to buy 200 the lumen of the level, the price is expected to spread smoothly in 2011.

EPISTAR general manager Zhou Mingjun said, the current 40W LED bulb in about $20~30, 60W bulbs reached US $40, according to the U.S. Department of energy (DOE) targets, LED lighting unit cost is expected to drop to $1 to buy 500 lumens in 2015, but now it seems to reach 2~3 years earlier, in 2012 is expected to see this the price target, then LED lighting penetration is expected to look to 20%~30%.

Zhou Mingjun also announced that, compared to the past to process red fluorescent powder warm white LED, will lead to the decrease of luminous efficiency of 30%~40%, now the luminous efficiency of red LED crystal electric once again break the record, compared to the luminous efficiency of the original 165lm/W, is expected to be up to 180 lm/W in the luminous efficiency of laboratory before the end of December, is expected to dramatically increase the luminous efficiency of warm white lighting.

Ye Yinfu believes that the next stage of the development of LED industry in product application lighting, with performance improvement, reduce design costs and heat dissipation under repair, reduce manufacturing costs, the price will be revised down LED lamps, LED lamps civilian price, will point the day and await for it. Although Taiwan in the upstream of LED technology layout complete, but in the past, Taiwan also has many lighting factory, only in the change of industrial structure, gradually moved to the mainland through Taiwan's future development, combined with the mainland market, is expected to build the world's first brand of Chinese LED lighting.
