Foxconn: the path of own mains led lighting products

 

Foxconn 2005 R & D of LED products in 2006, Foxconn around the plant began trial installation of mains led lighting products. “The person said Foxconn investment LED areas, because the Group across the country factories, the local government of the plant has the energy saving requirements. “At that time the production of mains led lighting products only within the Foxconn factory, and near the living area lighting use.”

 

With the gradual improvement of LED technology and product market acceptance, Foxconn also to other businesses OEM LED lighting products. According Foxconn internal According to sources, 2009, Foxconn, Philips, General Electric, the two major international lighting giant LED foundry business income over 200 million yuan.

 

Since domestic and foreign market, the rapid development of mains led lighting applications, but also to gradually improve the business structure of the Foxconn LED application products.

 

The above-mentioned sources, in 2011, the company produces LED lighting products only 50% of the supply of intra-group lighting replacement project, including the lighting of the factory and nearby streets and living area. In 2012, Foxconn LED Division hope that this indicator down to 40%, in order to gradually increase the sales of the export market.

 

Own factory with much more, so LED street lamp, Led high bay lights, LED explosion proof lights has been the strengths of the Foxconn LED lighting. “The person said.

 

Along with the development of mains led lighting products, Foxconn has also entered the field of LED display. LED exhibition organized recently, Foxconn deliberately on display show only a P3 high-definition 3D LED display, high-quality display participation will stop in front of the Foxconn booth.

LED intelligent lights “enjoy” a high cost at the first stage

 

LED intelligent lights “enjoy” a high cost at the first stage

 

LED intelligent lights costs involved in not only the initial cost of the lamps, but also involve the cost of energy consumed by the lamps, the lamps does not work to replace the lamps required labor costs, as well as the average frequency of lamp replacement required. Departure from the concept it is easy to understand why the led high bay light source is about 50 times the price of the incandescent light source, LED traffic lights market start to 28 times, had formed a new industry. Semiconductor lighting a light color, lighting and special lighting, general lighting will be later extended. Specifically, in recent years, semiconductor lighting market will be widely used in a variety of lights, landscape lighting, windows and lighting, architectural lighting, plaza and street beautification, home decorative lighting, public entertainment and beautify the stage effects lighting and other areas.

 

Theoretically LED are light-emitting diode, but in fact the electrical properties of all LED intelligent lights are the differences, many manufacturers are in the looting of the production schedule, grab number; each manufacturer’s production process is inconsistent, even , the same manufacturer at different times of the processes are different; very high purity requirements of the production of light-emitting diode semiconductor materials, semiconductor purity of the raw materials used by different manufacturers there is a difference, which makes the LED intelligent lights luminous intensity is not identical with the drive current, or a big difference, and resistance to the current capacity and heat differences will naturally different.

New market strategy of solar led street lighting

 

New market strategy of solar led street lighting

 

LED market analysis data show that in 2011 the global solar led street lighting market value reached $ 16.6 billion, the scale of the whole industry is still expanding. The entire product system, more than 60% of the production of market failures and more than 70% of rework due to device failure, but most companies have failed to adopt systematic electronic reliability engineering methods to solve, leading to product quality is not high, life is not long. China’s lighting industry has been price and other factors, is obviously insufficient to extend the life of the product design. In view of this, it can be predicted that in the development process of the solar led street lighting industry, how to assess and improve the service life of LED products will become the subject of a new round.

 

In the heat, the traditional way is to add a heat sink. Optimize the design of LED products with the tapered shape designed to achieve. First, the cone can form a variety of ventilation ducts to help the bulb to transfer heat, cooling effect. Second, a reasonable choice of devices, the test excluding unqualified or early failure help to improve the reliability of the product. In addition, a reasonable process improvement also help to improve the life of the product. Simply put, is to reduce the stress on the device through standard and reasonable process, thereby strengthening the product performance and improve the durability of the led high bay products.

 

In general, improve product reliability can effectively improve product quality, and produce more cost-effective for companies to create more economic benefits.

How to create the high quality led lights

 

How to create the high quality led lights

 

Most lighting designers believe that the quality of all LED products are the same. However, many LED manufacturers and suppliers, Asian manufacturers to low-cost global supply LEDs. Surprisingly, only a small part of these manufacturers to create high quality led lights. For applications that only used as a simple indicating the role of the low quality of the LED is sufficient to meet the requirements. However, in many areas of the requirements of consistency, reliability, solid-state instructions or lighting must be of high quality led lights, especially in harsh environments, such as highways, military / aerospace, and industrial applications.

 

In the New York subway stations and other environmental, safety requirements are very demanding, the led high bay lights must meet the high quality requirements of the fundamental factors.

 

Distinguish between the level of LED quality factors? How to tell the difference between the two LED’s? In fact, high-quality LED chip start until assembly is complete, during which there are many factors to consider. Tier-One, the LED manufacturing company capable of producing excellent indicators of the same wafer is to start from the high-quality LED manufacturing materials, enough to make a good chip. Determine the conditions of the LED performance, the chemical materials used in wafer production process is a very important factor.

 

A 2-inch wafer can be cut out more than 6000 high quality led lights chip, there is only individual chip performance overall. A good chip manufacturer makes chips in the difference of color, brightness, and the voltage drop is very small. When the LED chip package is completed, many of their performance, there may exist a great difference, such as perspective. In addition, the impact of packaging materials is quite large, for example, silicone epoxy performance.

Heat dissipation for high power led applications

 

Heat dissipation for high power led applications

 

High-power LED products and devices in the application process, thermal, electrostatic protection, welding has a great impact on the need to attract the customers of the application side attaches great importance to its characteristics.

 

Semiconductor light-emitting diode chip technology limitations of LED photoelectric conversion efficiency remains to be improved, especially in high power led applications, because of the higher power, about 60 percent more electrical energy into heat release (along with the development of semiconductor technology photoelectric conversion efficiency will be gradually increased), which requires the end-customer to do when the application of high-power LED products heat work to ensure the normal work of the high power led applications.

 

1. Effective cooling surface area:

 

1W high power led high bay white (other colors are basically the same) Division I recommended to the sum of the effective cooling surface area of the heat sink ≥ 50-60 square centimeters. 3W products, recommended the sum of the effective cooling surface area of the heat sink than 150 square centimeters, as the case of higher power and test results to increase as much as possible to ensure that the heat sink temperature does not exceed 60 ℃.

 

2. Connection method:

 

Please ensure that the two contact surfaces smooth connection of high power led applications substrate and heat sink, good contact, to enhance the degree of integration of the two contact surfaces, it is recommended that the surface coating layer of thermal grease in the bottom of the LED substrate or heat sink (thermal grease thermal conductivity the ≥ 3.0W/mk), thermal grease evenly coated, amount, and then screw press fit fixation.

How to improve the reliability of LED intelligent lighting system

 

How to improve the reliability of LED intelligent lighting system

 

LED drive power of the low life expectancy is an important reason is the lack of the life of the drive power required for aluminum electrolytic capacitors, mainly due to working long hours and led lights inside the ambient temperature is high, resulting in aluminum electrolytic capacitors quickly consumptiondry, life is much shorter, generally only work about 5,000 hours. The LED light source life is 50,000 hours, the working life of aluminum electrolytic capacitors has become a life short rib led drive power of LED intelligent lighting system.

 

Now some vendors in order to solve this problem, the invention of aluminum electrolytic capacitors, LED drive power program. But not all of the LED drive power suppliers are in favor of this approach. Chen Rong said: “At present, the LED drive power production, there is no a is a non-electrolytic capacitor driven program, because without it, then a lot of test criteria to pass EMI testing and flicker-free test.”

 

While the aluminum electrolytic capacitors, LED driver power of led high bay lighting system is usually more of these tests, if you replaced the film capacitors and ceramic capacitors or tantalum capacitors, the situation how? Film capacitors to achieve the same capacitance (typically 100-220uF), the volume will be enormous, and the cost is too high, the general capacity of the ceramic capacitor is too small, such as multiple ceramic capacitors to achieve such a large capacity, footprint and cost too much, and tantalum capacitors to have such a large-capacity.

 

Many suppliers claim that the non-electrolytic capacitors LED intelligent lighting system program, it may just get rid of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor of the AC input, constant current output of aluminum electrolytic capacitors should be difficult to remove or replace.

PESD for LED outdoor led spotlights

 

outdoor led spotlights

 

LEDs are semiconductor devices, are more sensitive to static electricity to prevent static electricity and eliminate static electricity work to do, especially for white, green, blue, purple outdoor led spotlights.

 

1. Generation of static electricity:

 

① friction: in everyday life, any two objects of different materials contact after separation, you can generate static electricity, while the most common way to generate static electricity, friction power. The better the insulation of the material, the more likely friction call. In addition, any two different substances, objects in contact after separation, can also generate static electricity.

 

② induction: a conductive material, due to the electron energy in the surface of the free flow, if placed in an electric field, due to same-sex repulsion, opposites attract, the positive and negative ions will be transferred on its surface will produce charge .

 

③ conduction: for electronic contact with the electrically charged objects in its surface free flow of conductive material, the charge transfer.

 

2. The hazards of static outdoor led spotlights:

 

① heat generated due to the instantaneous electric field or current, the LED local injury, the performance of the rapid increase in leakage current can still work, but the decrease in brightness, life impaired.

 

② electric field or current destruction of the insulation layer of the LED, the device does not work (completely destroyed), dead lights.

 

3 ESD and the elimination of measures:

 

All employees have direct contact with the led high bay lights for the entire process do to prevent and eliminate static electricity measures, mainly

 

①, workshop laying anti-static floor and good grounding.

 

②, the table to prevent static table, the production machine well grounded.

 

③, the operator to wear anti-static clothing, with anti-static

The application range of high power led technology

 

The application range of high power led technology

 

High power led technology in the oil field, petrochemical, railway, mining, military and other special industry, stage decoration, urban landscape lighting, display and sports stadiums and other special lamps have a wide application prospect.

How it works:

 

Light-emitting diode (LED) is a solid device for a can convert electrical energy into light energy, its structure is mainly composed of chips of the PN junction electrode and optical systems. The basic working principle of the high power led technology is an electro-optical conversion process, when a forward bias is applied to both ends in the PN junction, PN junction barrier to reduce the spread of P region of positive charge will be N region, the N-zone electronic the proliferation of P region, the formation of non-equilibrium charge accumulation in the two regions. PN junction due to the relative instability of minority carriers generated by current injection, injected into the non-equilibrium holes in the valence band to the conduction band electron recombination in which the excess energy will be in the form of light radiate outward. electrons and holes, the greater the energy difference between the photon energy is higher. Energy steps of different sizes, frequency and wavelength of light is different, the corresponding color of the light will be different.

 

High power led technology is a phase for low-power LED lamp (compare high power led high bay lights and low power led bulbs), the higher the power of high-power LED lamp, the brightness is brighter, higher prices. Small power LED lamp rated current is 20mA, rated current higher than 20mA of almost all can be regarded as high.
