LED shop lighting: the new opportunities from the upstream


LED shop lighting: the new opportunities from the upstream

 

“The current high cost of LED high bay manufacturing as a whole. A technical RD and market analysts said that in the upper reaches of technological innovation, companies still have a chance.

 

Industry observers believe that the key driver of cost reduction GaN LED shop lighting chip production transfer from sapphire or silicon carbide substrate to a silicon substrate, this new way of being the support of many of the major manufacturers in the industry, although varying degrees of success. “But the technical update is a very difficult thing, new technology and more immature, supporting the production equipment is expensive, the yield of new products needs to be improved, and now rashly launched may result in higher production costs.” Of the technology RD said. In addition, the construction costs of the production line is probably still not recovered, is not likely soon to application of new technologies, construction of a new production line.

 

At the same time, domestic chip manufacturers to purchase a large number by MOCVD, but due to lack of professional and technical personnel, the production process to grasp is not in place, the low level of production management, production of chips of poor quality, domestic package and enterprises to use the chip must mostly imported from Taiwan. So improvements in this area there is still room, but also takes time. The source said that other enterprises will have a huge room for opportunity to LED shop lighting control areas, and now some companies to promote the concept of “Smart Lighting”. The so-called “Smart Lighting” that is, through a control platform, using a handheld wireless remote control, centralized control switches on the walls and even a mobile phone and computer can control on one occasion, all the lamps and other.
