With the Copenhagen Climate Conference at the end of 2009, the world sounded the clarion call of the energy saving and emission reduction. LED lighting as a new type of energy-saving, environmentally alternative technologies quickly became the focus of the government, the capital, and the business community. According to statistics, Up to the end of 2009, Chin-ahas developed the world’s most important production base of LED lighting. Under the impressive achievements, LED lighting industry has its inadequacies and its misunderstanding. The author analyzed as follows.
LED lighting industry is lack of upstream core technology
As LED lighting is of energy-saving and environmental advantages, in recent years, statistics show that LED lighting global output annual growth keep 20% or more.China has launched a green lighting engineering, semiconductor lighting project, “Ten thousand ten cities” plan in order to push forward the development of the industry. In 2008, the total output value ofChina’s semiconductor lighting is nearly 700 billion.
However, according to the introduction of the Chairman Wu Zhen Yue, Shenzhen Han Tian Technology company, there goes that despite the current Chinese LED lights industry investment and production can increase to accelerate, The LED lighting production enterprises is over 3000, but 70% of which is in the concentration of downstream integration application link which is lack of upstream core technologies. Also due to the enterprise which is generally in small scale and lace of standards, the product quality is uneven.
He believes that many cities carry out the LED lighting demonstration and alternative project now, but the LED road lighting is also limited to the slip road to the district, the pedestrian street, a limited range of applications, especially LED lighting products of varying quality.
The high cost of LED lighting is a one-sided point of view
At present, there exists a misunderstanding on the Social LED lighting industry. That is considered “LED lighting is a new technology, and it is certainly of high cost” which make LED lighting urgent breaking popularity in the domestic market.
Traditional lighting methods require the laying of the cable, which is the cost of a lot of money. At the same time, the life of the traditional sodium lights is short, generally lamps need to be replaced in a year or so, and late repair and maintenance costs are high. If these costs are considered, The cost between the LED lighting and the traditional sodium lamp is not too much.
