U.S. notification LED new regulations or will affect China's LED industry

The United States LED lighting TBT notification Council mainly for LED lamp test program TBT recently released report comments that the test procedure for measuring LED lamp lumen output, input power and method of relative spectral distribution. In addition, it also provides a method for measuring the luminous flux maintenance rate of the LED light source to predict the rated life of the LED lamp.

It is understood that these Provisions are closely related with the LED lamps and lanterns, while the United States is one of the major export markets of China's LED lamps, in 2012 China's exports to the United States LED lamps amounting to tens of billions of dollars. The United States informed the regulations once the formal implementation, will likely have a greater impact on China's LED industry.

LED lighting commercialization also has a significant impact on the industry, LED longer life, more energy efficiency, but currently only a small share of demand. It is expected that by 2016, the demand for lighting fixtures based on LED will have a particularly strong growth, the pace of rapid LED light source technology will also make them more energy efficient, brighter and more affordable. In addition, lighting manufacturers are also developing devices designed specifically for LED to optimize their performance to make it a first-class art in lighting products.

According to a report on American market research firm Freedonia's display, forecast to 2016 American lighting market will reach $25 billion. The demand for lighting fixtures in the United States is expected to increase by 7.4% per year to $25 billion 100 million by 2016.

Lighting products include portable and non portable device, and the separately sold parts and accessories, such as customer service, accessories, lamp ballast switch, the lamp demand is mainly composed of non portable devices, accounting for nearly 2/3 of the total lighting demand in 2012. Non portable lamps mainly from buildings and vehicles in the application to use the full range of, is expected to 2016, benefited from the building activities of all vehicles rise and increased demand, the demand is expected to post a non portable device will be enhanced.

Expected between 2013 and 2016, the demand for non portable lamps has almost doubled, taking a look at the major segments of the market, reducing the energy consumption of lighting brands will get the best growth prospects. Much of this can be attributed to the need for energy-efficient lighting products in the energy independence and security act of 2007. These regulations will strive to promote the demand for fluorescent lamps, halogen lamps, high intensity discharge lamps and LED light sources.
