LED lighting: modular, becoming a trend

2011, "modular" of great concern to enterprises and become the trend.

"How to better LED lighting product costs and prices? When the semiconductor lighting market is at the critical point of the outbreak, the industry needs to reduce the price of the product has become increasingly urgent. Once the analysis thinks, LED lighting industry market structure and mobile phone market like a few years ago, the introduction of modular package solution or can achieve LED lighting R & D and manufacturing work standardization, produce new pattern of specialization.

Insiders said that the current status of semiconductor lighting is a light source, lamps, electronic components and other integration, which gives the large-scale production difficult, will make the cost of the product is high, and between different manufacturers are not interchangeable, failure is also very difficult to repair in the course of use. The light engine module R & D and manufacturing, namely LED, driver and optical components consisting of the module, and establish good interface between the standard, can well solve the contradiction between individual demand and mass production market, and products with convenient maintenance. "If the semiconductor lighting lamp module and corresponding interface standards unified, will lead to large-scale production, and is conducive to the rapid decline in the cost, while allowing more traditional lighting companies buy direct light engine, rapid development and production of products in a modular production mode. Therefore, it is an urgent problem to develop the interface module between the engine module and the module. "

However, for the modular, the industry also have different views, think of the current module is more modular than the lamp light source, not suited to the local modular design and LED light source characteristics, such as lighting work for a period of time will appear after the light changes, if there is a fault module when the replacement, will be prone to differences with a lamp brightness, color temperature difference phenomenon, if used in traffic lighting, traffic safety will be affected...... Considering the characteristics of LED itself, and LED technology in the dynamic development of the realistic condition, the most suitable for LED lamps or in the form of integral type, but in some common parts or should be unified, such as key part of the installation bracket, lamp basic size and form of unity, can help resolve the uniqueness of the lamp the problem of the use of LED lighting owners worry products can long-term supply menace from the rear.
