The French government intends to distribute one million LED bulbs

The Connexion According to French media reports, the French government is planning to distribute one million LED bulbs to domestic low-income families.

 The French government intends to distribute one million LED bulbs

Ségolène Royal ecological environment minister proposed that the two can be used for low-income families to exchange incandescent or fluorescent lamp life more durable, less expensive two LED bulbs.

Currently, the Department of Ecology are discussing when to begin such action and state-owned power company Electricite de France (EDF). The first batch of 100,000 is expected to LED lights will begin distribution in October.

According to reports, the French lighting applications accounted for 12% of energy consumption, the equivalent of an hour 56TWh. Energy saving LED bulb has an important significance.

In addition, Royal also plans to replace it with a new lamp out of the seventies and eighties of the last century, the production of thousands of scrap inefficient radiator.

Royal said: “These appliances consume a lot of energy, to bring a heavy burden on the family budget and these measures is to ensure that the law of energy conversion so that people can directly benefit, which is considered a good thing.”

According to reports, most of the funding of the project will be offered by certificats d’économies d’énergie (CEE).

Global LED lighting penetration rate reach 26% on 2014

Global lighting output value about 1,095 billion US dollars on 2014, slightly lower than in 2013; and LED lighting output value of about $ 28.8 billion, in the lighting market penetration has reached 26%.

Global LED lighting penetration rate reach 26% on 2014
From the main market, the United States and Europe have largest amount of people’s livelihood were the 40 ~ 60W incandescent replacement rate because of policy, while the US Energy Star states also enjoy subsidies and by application DLC certification to obtain subsidies, This significantly inject the US LED lighting market. On the other hand, China is the focus of the world’s production of lighting products, local LED lighting penetration rate of 8.9% from 2013, rising to 16.4% in 2014.

Lighting manufacturers in the world’s top ten analysis, which in 2014 accounted for about 27% of total revenues of the global lighting market, so the industry concentration is not high; the top ten ranking of revenue sequentially for the lighting manufacturers Philips, OSRAM, Panasonic, GeneralElectric, AcuityBrands, Zumtobel, Toshiba, CooperLighting, Cree, Hubbell, which, in addition to plain Cree LED lighting company in the top ten vendors outside, many others are having a few decades to centuries-old international lighting manufacturers. However, the world’s top ten LED lighting manufacturers together accounting for the global LED lighting market revenue up 64 percent, belong to a relatively high degree of industrial concentration.

Optical WCC noted that LEDs penetration increased gradually in recent years, the proportion of revenues manufacturers of LED lighting products also conform to this trend and continues to rise, slowing the rate of decline overall lighting business, but in spite of LED lighting market penetration of elevated year by year, the traditional lighting manufacturers still dominate the lighting market; at the same time, LED lighting market also entered the stage of excessive competition, like today (2015) in March, there were Philips will be its packaging and automotive LED lighting business 80.1% stake in Lumileds body, and sold to Chinese background Jinsha River Group, can be said that shocked the global LED industry.

The growth of market share for Philips LED giant

2014 lighting market continues to transit to LED technology, the revenue of LED lamps increases from 25% in 2013 to 30% in 2014, and is expected to reach 67% in 2022, in terms of the global revenue for lights. Growing LED lighting technology market, suggest the shrinkage of halogen, compact fluorescent lamps and other traditional technology market, and larger lighting companies have been trying to adjust their businesses, while smaller and more specialized LED companies have entered the market, which further increasing the pressure on the existing vendors.

The growth of market share for Philips LED giant

Market leader Philips managed to increase its LED lighting market share from 14% in 2013 to 17% in 2014, followed by Osram, Panasonic and Toshiba, with the market share of approximately 8 percent, 6% and 6% respectively ; GE increases from 3% in 2013 to 6% in 2014, but these “athletes” get lost in the traditional lighting market, which means that all of the top five overall lighting manufacturers have lost market share.

Light source market is more fragmented than the lighting market, Philips as a global market leader, accounted for only 6% of the market, while the top 10 manufacturers accounted for only 22% of the joint venture market. Overall, the light source market looks “brighter” than the lighting market, at least for the “top player”. The top five companies are: Philips, Acuity, Panasonic, Fort Ord and Cooper, both in 2014, cling to their market share.

The revenue share of LED light source increased from 21% in 2013 to 23% in 2014, and this proportion is expected to reach 53 percent in 2022, the big winner here is Philips, whose share of the LED lighting market rose from 4% in 2013 to 10% in 2014. Acuity Brands focused on the US market, whose share rose from 4% in 2013 to 6% in 2014. Acuity Brands holds 19% share of the US LED light source market (from 16% in 2013). Philips is more concentrated in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) market, accounting for 12%; and 10% of Asia-Pacific (APAC) region market.

The huge influence of the price war for LED lighting

The huge influence of the price war for LED lighting

During the first half of the year, the “price war” led lighting by big companies in lighting industry, caused huge effects, where the first-line domestic brands and international giants announced the launch of low-priced competing products, resulting in a chaotic market price. Giants launched the “price war” aiming at grabbing market share, and these companies with their own advantages, are fully capable of forming a monopoly on a particular light source products, in order to defend their industry brand position.

The final “price war” effect will spread to the merchant, who adjust their own businesses for brand product prices, which will be directly related to its market competitiveness, thereby affecting the sales and market share. For now, our agency has not yet adjusted prices, the best way to deal with the market is waiting for manufacturers to integrate product, and then adjust the price and brand structure. I think that this price competition will continue to heat up in the second half, LED lighting product prices will decline, especially the type of light source LED  lighting product price will be close to the critical point. However, continued price competition by no means a permanent solution for the industry, with the differentiation and integration of upstream manufacturers, the industry will eventually stabilize.

For the current hot electric business model, the impact to the real store is definitely yes, but still not replace the store, the two should complement each other with mutual assistance and common development. In addition, under the environment of “Internet +”, LED intelligent lighting market prospects will be very bright.

2015 LED lighting export data he first half of

2015, steady growth in the country, the major policies of the restructuring, China’s economic growth speed in the medium run “new normal”, explosive growth has become the history.Good day, no longer order tends to decrease, profit fell sharply, the cost is high, such as electricity let manufacturers to lose their orientation.

2015 LED lighting export data he first half of

In addition, the global “Bering ban”, the first half of 2015 export data released, in addition to the traditional European and American markets, including emerging markets, double-digit ASEAN, Middle East and Africa grew bright spots, of which Vietnam is to become a “dark horse “Article 37 into the top five, in addition, China’s exports to Bangladesh, Pakistan, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt and other countries have more than 17%.

Throughout the first half of 2015 the global economic situation, the developed markets, only the US economy is relatively good momentum of growth, weaker euro-zone and Japanese economies, while economic growth in emerging markets faster than developed countries, but by the structural contradiction, funds outflow and other factors, the general slowdown in economic growth. In this context, the first half of 2015 China’s import and export trade is not optimistic.

According to the latest Customs statistics show that the first half of 2015, the export value of 11.53 trillion yuan, down 6.9% over last year. Among this, exports 6.57 trillion yuan, an increase of 0.9%; imports 4.96 trillion yuan, down 15.5%; trade surplus of 1.61 trillion yuan, expanding 1.5 times. In the international economic recovery is weak, weak external demand, exports of integrated high cost, in the case of RMB real effective exchange rate continued to maintain high growth, which is not easy.

In the lighting sector exports in 2015 a quarter of the national lighting industry achieved total exports 9.584 billion US dollars, an increase of 22.42%. The top ten exporting countries and regions were the United States, Russia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Germany, Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, Australia, Italy, but exports showed a larger change in the market structure, in which the European Union, Japan and other export decline, while Southeast Asia emerging markets, the Middle East and Africa sudden emergence of ASEAN countries is soaring by 90%, becoming the third largest export destination for well-deserved.

Behind the reason is that Chinese manufacturers at present mainly in low – and LED products, cost-effective to win, in the form of lower profit margins contract involved in European and American markets, while emerging market countries because of the large demand for mid-range products, market entry bar is not high, low market competition factors to attract Chinese manufacturers to enter.In addition, in emerging markets, because of its itself LED industry development is not mature, and demand is growing fast, the local market supply cannot meet demand, so the government for foreign related products into open welcome attitude.

The design of the car LED lighting system

The design of the car LED lighting system

For a long time, the car’s brake lights, turn signals, reversing lamp and the rear fog lamps are 21 w to 27 w, brightness is from 280 to 570 lumens of tungsten filament lamp as light source.Car tail lights, parking lights, side lights and turn signals flash adopt 4 w and 10 w tungsten lamps, brightness is 40 to 130 lumens, car headlights, the use of the high brightness xenon fluorescent tube (HID).But in automotive lighting, LED as light source are used more and more.The tail of the central high brake lights was among the first to adopt LED car light.In addition, the lights on the market, car lighting and other indicators, such as brake lights, turn signals, and the lights have to switch to LED bulbs.In recent years, car lights, such as daytime running lights (DRL), as well as the front lights are low to switching the LED bulbs.Car headlights are also expected quickly to switch to high brightness leds.In addition, inside the body, some of the car display backlight are using LED as light source, such as the dashboard and TFT display.

White LED color temperature of about 6000K, visually almost identical to natural light. Since the human eye’s ability to distinguish colors in natural background conditions are best. At night, the human eye only in the case of a natural color, or road edge on the scene have a good ability to discriminate.

The average life span for the LED lamp is higher than tungsten filament lamp and fluorescent lamp brightness length, and is more stable and reliable.If can reduce the rate of fail, without frequent replacement bulbs, dispense with a lot of trouble.And using LED can save more energy.Leds appearance is smaller, more easily into the lamp holder, at the same time of take up less space, are more likely to cooperate with fashion lighting design.More importantly, LED brake lights start faster.LED brake lights light up time is only about 50 ms, faster than the start time of tungsten filament bulbs around 250 ms, which reduces the risk of being following vehicle collision.In addition, the LED is a solid-state light source, can withstand greater shock.
