LED Lamp Market Status Analysis

According to the "2011-2015 European LED Lighting Market Report", in 2011, the European lighting market has continued to grow steadily to 18.9 billion U.S. dollars, up 10% from 2010. Among them, the European LED lighting market has exceeded 2.08 billion U.S. dollars in 2011. the above. In 2012, the global market for LED architectural lighting fixtures was approximately US$3.191 billion, accounting for approximately 29% of the overall LED lighting market. Europe was the main application market and accounted for approximately 35% of the global LED architectural lighting market. The market size reached US$1.12 billion. The survey data also showed that the European LED lighting market compound growth rate of 38% over the next five years, is the next fast-growing mature market after Japan, where architectural lighting and commercial lighting applications due to lower consumer price sensitivity, the LED The acceptance of lighting is higher and the popularity is fastest. In the coming years, due to the EU's policy of a total ban on incandescent bulbs in 2012, it is expected that the market will experience a substantial growth. The annual compound growth rate of LED lighting market in Europe between 2011 and 2015 is expected to reach 38%, which will be the next fast-growing and mature market for LED lighting after the Japanese market. Observing the development of the European lighting market in the past has been a consistent and stable growth performance. Due to the high unit price of customers and the relatively high gross profit in this market, it is a place where various lighting manufacturers attach importance to the military. If we can stabilize the European lighting market and master orders in the region, we have already been in the fields of product verification, technology and quality. It is invincible.

From the above data, it is not difficult to find the broad prospects of LED lamps in the global market. This mainly depends on the advantages of LED lights:

1, small size: LED is basically a very small chip is encapsulated in epoxy resin, so it is very small, very light.

2, low power consumption: LED power consumption is very low, in general, LED operating voltage is 2-3.6V. The operating current is 0.02-0.03A. This means that it consumes no more than 0.1W of electricity.

3, long service life: In the appropriate current and voltage, LED's life can reach 100,000 hours 4, high brightness, low heat 5, environmental protection: LED is made of non-toxic materials, unlike fluorescent lamps containing mercury will cause Pollution, while the LED can also be recycled.

6, durable: LED is completely encapsulated in epoxy resin, it is stronger than the light bulb and fluorescent tubes. There are no loose parts in the lamp body. These features make the LED unbreakable.

However, LED lamps also have some disadvantages:

1. The problem of heat dissipation will greatly shorten the life if the heat is not good.

2. The low-end LED lamp is still less energy-efficient than the energy-saving lamp (cold cathode tube, CCFL).

3, the initial purchase cost is higher.

4, due to the strong direction of the LED light source, the lamp design needs to consider the special optical characteristics of the LED.

Even with these drawbacks, the intrinsic characteristics of the LED determine that it is the ideal light source to replace the traditional light source, and it has a wide range of uses:

Initially, LED was used as the indicator light source for instrumentation. Later, various light-colored LEDs were widely used in traffic signals and large-area displays, resulting in good economic and social benefits. Take the 12-inch red traffic signal as an example. In the United States, a long-life, low-efficiency, 140-watt incandescent lamp was used as the light source, which produced 2,000 lumens of white light. After passing through the red filter, the light loss was 90%, leaving only 200 lumens of red light. In the newly designed lamp, Lumileds uses 18 red LED light sources, including circuit losses, and consumes a total of 14 watts, which produces the same light efficiency. Automotive signal lights are also an important area for the application of LED light sources. In 1987, our country began to install high-level brake lights on automobiles. Due to the fast LED response speed (nanoseconds), drivers of trailing vehicles can be made aware of driving conditions as soon as possible to reduce the occurrence of rear-end collisions. In addition, LED lights have been applied in outdoor red, green and blue full-color displays, keychain miniature flashlights and other fields.
