The price of lighting LED continues to rise

According to a report released by TrendForce, the overall price of LED products for lighting in the second quarter of 2021 will rise by 0.3~2.3%. It is estimated that the rising trend of the supply chain will drive the annual output value of LED for lighting to US$6.709 billion, an annual growth. The rate is 3.43%.

The price of lighting LED continues to rise

This wave of LED packaging products has increased categories, including indoor medium and low-power lighting LED products (under 1 watt, excluding 1 watt) for home and commercial use, such as 2835 LED, 3030 LED and 5630 LED, with a seasonal increase of 0.3~2.3 %, as well as outdoor high-power lighting LED products (above 1 watt) for outdoor and industrial use, such as ceramic substrate LEDs and 7070 LEDs, with a quarterly increase of 1.3~1.8%.

TrendForce’s analysis believes that the price increase is mainly due to the full recovery of the LED lighting market demand since the first quarter, and the high-end remained in the second quarter. In addition, the structural shortage of upstream LED chips caused by the epidemic is still unresolved. In order to avoid falling into the shortage situation last year, product manufacturers have increased their stocking efforts.

Looking at this wave of price increases from the perspective of the supply chain, due to the impact of the epidemic last year that caused the chips and related metal raw materials to rise, some lighting LED manufacturers are facing the pressure of upstream price increases, and they have increased their previous sales of low-priced lighting LED products. In order to maintain profit fundamentals.

LED lighting promotes high energy efficiency

For residential and commercial lighting, we need a high-voltage alternating current (AC) power source to power our LEDs. But LED needs lower voltage and direct current (DC). In order to convert alternating current to direct current at the right voltage, we need appropriate drivers and other power management devices-these inevitably bring some inefficiencies, and we obviously want to minimize its impact on energy efficiency.

LED lighting promotes high energy efficiency

Depending on the current and color, the forward voltage of the LED may vary from less than 2 V to 4.5 V. Companies like ON Semiconductor has been the drivers of LED adoption, using their expertise in power management to develop the required devices to drive LEDs reliably and efficiently.

For example, ON Semiconductor’s NCL30082 is an LED driver (as shown in Figure 2), designed to use AC input power. It includes a pulse width modulation (PWM) current-mode controller that provides high energy efficiency, a new control method that reduces the number of external components required. The driver also supports LED dimming. ON Semiconductor also provides input bridge rectifiers and super junction MOSFETs to complete the power conversion circuit to drive LEDs.

Like LED drivers, lighting applications require other devices to create a complete system. This includes sensors, such as detecting the ambient light level so that the LED brightness can be adjusted automatically, or turning on the light when it detects someone in the office.

Another device required in some applications is an LED bypass shunt, such as ON Semiconductor’s NUD4700. This ensures that if one LED fails, the shunt allows current to flow around the failed LED, keeping the rest of the LED string lit.
