After many years development of China’s LED industry, although it already is LED production big country and the application of a large country, yet due to lack of industry-proven national standards in the LED industry, the detection system is yet to establish, which not only cause the LED industry enterprises of cohabitation, also led to the quality of LED products.
2012 LED Lighting price cuts very fast, which makes LED lighting is rapidly into various application areas. NXP Semiconductors (NXP), director of marketing of lighting products in Greater China Wang Yongbin told reporters, “we found a new trend, that is, non-dimmable LED lighting products are very popular with Asians’ like, including Japan and South Korea and other developed countries also favor non-dimmable products, which may be related to the habits. Europeans and Americans prefer dimmer lighting. “this is a good news for LED industry, because at present, the price of non-dimmable IC are cheaper than adjustable optical IC prices by about half, while the IC is still the most important part of the entire LED fixtures. Wang Yongbin then added: “We found another trend that continued LED bulb and lamp series. In the next two years, led lamp china will start to become mainstream demand.” So, the next two years, NXP LED Flood Light semiconductor programs providers will focus on non-dimming and high-power lamps on the market, because of the huge growth potential of the Asian region.
Apart from the above trend, Wang Yongbin particular to disclose the current lighting manufacturers for demanding power factor, because many countries, including China, specifically requested certain lighting the PF is greater than 0.9, and there will be a subsidies for standard product. “For example, in China’s energy-saving projects in the bidding for the FP to plus two points, which PF are greater than 0.9, and the Chinese government will give up posts. And in the European Energy Star requirements, when a power is greater than 25W, the lighting of PF must be greater than 0.9. “he pointed out that the program of some IC manufacturers want to achieve high power factor, which need from the outside to control implementation, and that will increase the cost, while NXP can achieve from the chip, which not only to facilitate the design, and also reduced costs. “Like SSL2109A controller, due to a dedicated circuit, so it can achieve that PF is greater than 0.9 and less peripheral, simple design and convenient.” For example, he said.
