Would you pick the LED bulb?

What are the advantages of a LED bulb compared to an incandescent lamp or an energy-saving lamp? It is estimated that many consumers will say that energy-saving and durable, but the effect of energy saving? How durable is the LED lamp? This problem may not be able to answer every consumer.

With the LED lamp demand continues to be huge, manufacturing costs continue to decrease, the price of LED lights are also declining year by year, consumers should be how to choose LED lights? Which of these errors?

2015 cost down to $1.5

With the continuous improvement of living standards and the growing concern about energy and environmental issues, the demand for energy saving, environmental protection and healthy and comfortable life of consumers is getting higher and higher. In the lighting, lighting products more green, energy saving, health has become the mainstream of society; and the LED for its excellent performance in terms of energy saving, environmental protection, efficiency and service life etc., it is widely used has become an inevitable trend. However, the high price of LED lighting will undoubtedly become the popular stumbling block, however, LED lighting production capacity continues to increase, growing demand, manufacturing costs continue to decline, the industry experts expected, 2015, LED lighting manufacturing costs will drop to about $1.5.

According to the world's most famous LED chip manufacturer, NXP semiconductors (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. lighting product marketing manager Zhang Weichao introduction, because the LED bulb is composed of a chip, LED components, and other parts of the radiator cover, so the manufacturing cost has been high, the cost of LED components previously accounted for more than 50% overall, with the improvement of production efficiency, at present three pieces of LED cost ratio has dropped to 1:1:1, expected in 2015, the cost of LED products will be reduced to 1/5 in 2011. By then, the cost per LED bulb will be reduced to $1.5.

Variable energy LED concern

According to the reporter visited the market to see, at present, such as PHILPS and other brands of LED light bulb price of about 90 yuan, the price of the product can be as low as three yuan line. However, compared with the price of more than and 10 yuan in the first line of energy-saving lamps, LED bulbs or high prices. In the interview, there are consumers that had long wanted to replace the LED bulb for the whole family, if the price can be reduced to the current price level of energy-saving lamps, there is no need to consider the space.

In addition to energy saving and environmental protection, LED lights and many special features". Zhang Weichao said, LED can be adjusted according to the needs of color and brightness, for example, you can follow the mood, so that the bedroom light sometimes yellow, sometimes green apple green, sometimes pink...... This is no longer the energy saving lamps incomparable. In addition, due to the built-in LED control chip, consumers can even realize the wireless remote control home lighting operation, before the home to open the living room lights? Only need to send a command on it, such a life experience is not far away. There are people in the industry say, after the popularity of LED lights, or will give birth to a new atmosphere of home lighting designers.

LED lamps to buy common sense and misunderstanding

1, please list some consumers in the daily purchase of LED lights will encounter errors

In some lighting city to buy lights, there are a number of shopkeepers will tell consumers: buy this lamp, this lamp has 3 LED, that only 1, to buy the brightest of the 3, LED, of course, the more expensive than the 1. "But it's not. Because of the different technology of LED chip, the luminous efficiency of single chip is also different. At present, there are many different forms of LED, such as high power, medium power, low power, COB and so on. For example, the power of the LED single lumen output in 45lm or so, and a large single lumen can reach more than 120lm, so it is likely that the 1 LED light-emitting effect and the effect of the 3 is the same. From the cost point of view, the power of the chip price compared to the power to be high, so, not necessarily 3 LED must be more expensive than the 1. Mainly determined by the performance of the selected parts.

2, please list some consumer misunderstanding of LED lights

The majority of ordinary consumers in the purchase of lights, the use of the oldest or the purchase of 40 light, 60 light bulbs. The brighter the light, the higher the wattage. Ask a simple question, a 7W of LED, and a 8W of LED, which do you think is brighter? The answer is: not necessarily.

In fact, the light and dark is measured with a professional parameter, which is called lumen (LM), is a measure of the main criteria for the bright and dark lights. Comparison of 7W or 8W of the LED light, it should look at their lumen output. Because of the different technology of LED and incandescent lamp, the technology of the incandescent lamp has been mature and stable after hundreds of years of experience, and LED is constantly changing and can achieve different results through different combinations. So, it is also very possible, 7W lumens output to be higher than 8W, then, 7W lights are actually more energy-efficient than 8W.

Of course, because most consumers are unfamiliar with these terms LM, then there will be some manufacturers in the packaging is similar to the "40W incandescent lamp replacement products," the logo to help consumers choose. For a simple example, an ordinary 40W incandescent lamp with an initial luminous efficiency of about 380lm, with the extension of the service life will gradually weaken. LED is used as incandescent lamp substitutes, a measure of whether it can replace 40W incandescent lamp standard that is whether more than 350lm. Later, with the introduction of national standards, perhaps LED bulb packaging will be labeled lumens rather than watts.
