US Department of Energy released the latest US lighting market characteristics

Department of Energy, DOE recently released a new LMC (Lighting Market Characterization, LMC, which includes lighting installation, total electricity usage and lumens, with data covering the pre-2015 figures.

US Department of Energy released the latest US lighting market characteristics

The last LMC was released in the United States in 2012, which shows the data before 2010. However, at that time Solid-state lighting, SSL just started, so the report mainly for the use of fluorescent lamps instead of incandescent.

The latest report shows the LED influence on the general lighting market, as of 2015 LED installation volume of 8%. Information from 2015 shows that the lighting electricity consumption is 64.1 billion kilowatt hours, accounting for 17% of the total electricity consumption; a decrease of 5.9 billion kilowatt hours of lighting electricity compared with the data in 2012.

The new report also provides in-depth analysis of the use of different lighting markets, including outdoor lighting, residential lighting, commercial lighting and industrial lighting, of which the highest proportion of outdoor lighting LED application accounted for 23%, up 15% over 2010, followed by commercial lighting accounted 10%, an increase of 8% over 2010.

Jim Brodrick, director of the DOE SSL program, said that many would expect the installation of more lighting throughout the country with the introduction of CFLs, which is also known as the lighting paradox. However, Brodrick pointed out that the number of luminaires in the United States increased by 500 million from 2010 to 2015, but the reason for this increase is mainly attributed to “new home users” rather than the original home users.

Overall, LED lighting has made great strides since 2010, reaching 8% by 2015 and 7% more than in 2010.

2018 China’s automotive LED lighting market will explode

As consumers pay more attention to driving safety and the impact of better road lighting demand growth and other factors, and further promote the growth of the automotive lighting market. State-of-the-art automotive lighting systems are glare-proof, use infrared and ultraviolet light to identify obstacles, and market suppliers continue to introduce signals that adapt to changing environmental conditions and respond to emergency braking signals.

2018 China's automotive LED lighting market will explode

New trends in the automotive lighting market have opened up new opportunities for businesses, especially in the lighting segment. Environmental lighting is one of them, can be installed on the vehicle to create a different experience, which make users physically and mentally pleased.

The global automotive lighting market can be technically divided into halogen lamps, LED lamps, and xenon lamps.

According to OFweek Industry Research Center’s “2017 LED Automotive Lighting Market Research Report” (hereinafter referred to as the report), the penetration rate of domestic LED lamps and lanterns is about 10% -15% in 2016. The overall market size of LED lamps and lanterns is more than 5 billion RMB, According to the 20% penetration rate of LED lamp 60%, the domestic auto market in the next few years’ sales growth rate of 5% compound estimated that by 2022, the domestic LED lamp market is expected to reach 76.6 billion RMB.

LED car lighting market growth rate has been rising year by year, but the automotive supply chain industry ecological are conservative, product certification need a long time. Most of the current supply of automotive components are monopoly by a small number of international companies. Though Taiwan factory deliberately breaking barriers, the proportion of supply is still limited, and the rear access to the maintenance market is relatively low barriers to entry, more conducive to new entrants into the supply chain. The recent Mainland LED industry stars such as China, Hongli has been actively snatched into the strategic alliance with the mainland lamp factory, and Taiwan-based LED plant, such as Everlight, Ronda, Edison, United Carnival, etc. also continued layout, will have the opportunity to grab business opportunities.

Although the mainland car repair market will show a multiple growth, all the businesses have to get into, will lead to the initial product into fear of mixed good and bad, and price competition will lead to less profits than expected, challenging the thinking of car LED orders with higher gross profit fans. It is expected that will enter a new round of industrial knock-out, testing the cost control of various businesses and technical capabilities.

Horticultural lighting industry will be a new LED lighting industry opportunities

The competition in the global lighting market is becoming fiercer and fiercer. The horticultural lighting industry may be a new opportunity for the LED lighting industry. Using LED technology to develop high value-added products will gain more profit. Of course, veteran LED makers still face competition from new entrants, mostly start-ups and small and medium-sized businesses, who are struggling to snatch their market share in this market of growth opportunities.

Horticultural lighting industry will be a new LED lighting industry opportunities

Until the fourth quarter of 2017, the market for the LED horticultural lighting industry is still small, with fewer than 50 vendors offering LED lighting specifically for the market.

Focusing on the future, the development of horticultural lighting industry is closely linked with the market dynamics. In fact, the marketing and communication of major industry players mainly focus on two main applications:

1, the cultivation of medical crops, is currently the main market drivers;

2, vegetable cultivation, growing “low-end / volume of large-scale products.”

Some established mature lighting system manufacturers may not be involved in the first application (at least not involved in the public) to protect the brand image. This opens up new opportunities for many new entrants to quickly reap revenue and enhance their expertise and experience in the horticultural lighting market.

At the device level, most LED manufacturers tend to adopt “technology-driven strategies” to quickly provide horticultural lighting solutions and related marketing tools using their traditional LED product lines, such as UV, visible and near infrared (LEDs) Such as a dedicated data table, etc.). In the future, with the in-depth study of the impact of LED lighting on crop growth, these vendors will begin to provide solutions specifically for horticultural lighting (eg, carefully modulated wavelengths, multiple wavelength combinations, etc.).

At present, the missing part of the industrial chain is mainly in the module level. There is no real module-level supplier in the horticultural LED lighting industry in 2017, so the market is still an emerging market with a young industry and a lack of relevant Standards and regulations. In this context, lighting system manufacturers are designing their own LED lighting modules with specific wavelength combinations / solutions.

Some vendors are positioning themselves as solution providers, offering not only lighting systems but also global solutions with integrated sensors (humidity, oxygen content, etc.) as well as data management software. The goal of these smart lighting systems is to further increase the production of greenhouses and urban farms.

LED intelligent lighting sensors needed

LED lighting and lighting the biggest difference between the traditional, LED lighting is a complete electronic products, and the traditional lighting is only an electrical product. Therefore, LED lamps can be easily associated with various types of sensors, enabling light control, infrared control and other automatic control functions. Such as LED lights automatically switch, with a photosensitive sensor can be simply achieved; community night walkway and courtyard lighting, infrared sensors can be used to collect information on human activity, automatic lighting switches off.

LED intelligent lighting sensors needed

Photosensitive sensors and LED lighting portfolio

Scenery LED street light is a highly intelligent and unattended road lighting, the use of wind, solar power generation, battery storage, so the automatic energy management is very important. Photosensitive sensor is ideal because of dawn, dark days (sunrise, sunset) when the illumination changes can control the circuit automatically switches electronic sensors.

Photosensitive sensors can be based on the weather, time zones and regions automatically control the mall LED lighting on and off. Reducing power consumption by reducing its output during bright daylight saves up to 53% less power in convenience stores with a store area of ??200m2 compared to when using fluorescent lights. Life expectancy up to about 5 to 10 million hours. Under normal circumstances, the life of LED lighting is about 40,000 hours; glowing colors can also be RGB (red, green and blue) colorful way to make the mall more colorful lights, the atmosphere more active; and supporting the use of yellow phosphor Compared with the original blue LED, the purple LED supporting the use of red, green and blue phosphors has higher color rendering.

Infrared sensors and LED lighting portfolio

Infrared sensors rely on the human body to detect infrared emission and work. The main principle is: the human body about 10 发 infrared emission through the Fresnel filter lens enhanced to pyroelectric components PIR (passive infrared) detector, when people move, the emission position of infrared radiation will change , The element loses the charge balance and releases the charge due to the pyroelectric effect. The infrared sensor converts the change in the infrared radiation energy transmitted through the Fresnel filter lens into an electrical signal, that is, thermoelectric conversion. When there is no human body moving in the detection area of ??the passive infrared detector, the infrared sensor senses only the background temperature. When the human body enters the detection area and the Fresnel lens, the pyroelectric infrared sensor senses the human body temperature and Background temperature differences, the signal is collected after the system has been detected with the data to compare to determine whether someone really infrared source into the detection area.

Passive infrared sensors have three key components: Fresnel filters, pyroelectric infrared sensors and matched low-noise amplifiers. Fresnel lens has two roles: First, the focus effect, the infrared signal is about to refract the pyroelectric infrared PIR: Second, the detection area is divided into a number of bright and dark areas, so that the detection area of ??moving objects / person can Generates a changing pyro-infrared signal on the PIR in the form of a temperature change. In general, the noise amplifier is also matched. When the ambient temperature on the detector rises, especially when it is close to normal human body temperature (37 ° C), the sensitivity of the sensor drops and the gain is compensated for thereby increasing its sensitivity. The output signal can be used to drive electronic switches to control the switching of LED lighting circuits.

In recent years, ultrasonic sensors that are similar to those of infrared sensors have been used more and more in automatic detection of moving objects. Ultrasonic sensors mainly use the principle of Doppler, outward emission through the crystal beyond the human body can be perceived high-frequency ultrasound, the typical choice of 25 ~ 40kHz wave, and then the control module detects the frequency of reflected waves back, if there is movement within the region, reflection Wave frequency there will be slight fluctuations, that is, Doppler effect, in order to determine the illumination area of ??the object movement, so as to achieve the purpose of control switch.

The longitudinal oscillation of ultrasonic waves can propagate in gas, liquid and solid, and its propagation speed is different. It also has refraction and reflection phenomena. It has low frequency of propagation in air, rapid decay, and attenuation in solid and liquid Small, spread far. Ultrasound sensors make use of these characteristics of ultrasound. With its sensitive range, no blind spot and no interference with obstacles, the ultrasonic sensor has been used in commercial and security fields for more than 25 years and has been proved to be the most effective way to detect the movement of small objects. Therefore, with the LED lighting system can be sensitive control switch.

Due to the high sensitivity of the ultrasonic sensor, air vibration, ventilation, heating and cooling system and the surrounding space around the movement will cause ultrasonic sensor false trigger, so the ultrasonic sensor needs to be calibrated in time.

Temperature sensor LED lighting over-temperature protection

Temperature sensor NTC (negative temperature coefficient) to do LED lamps overheating protection is widely used earlier. LED lamps, such as the use of high-power LED light source, you must use a multi-wing aluminum radiator, LED lighting for interior lighting itself is very small space, the heat problem is still one of the largest technical bottlenecks. LED lamps heat unhappy words, will lead to LED light source due to overheating and early light failure. After the LED lamp is turned on, the heat will also be enriched to the lamp cap due to the hot air automatically rising, affecting the life of the power supply. Therefore, in the design of LED lamps, aluminum radiator near the LED light source side close to a NTC, in order to collect the temperature of the lamp in real time, when the lamp cup aluminum radiator temperature can be used to automatically reduce the output current of the constant current source, So that the lamp cooling; when the lamp cup aluminum heatsink temperature limit to automatically switch off the LED power supply settings, the lamp over-temperature protection, when the temperature decreases, the lamp will automatically turn on.

Conclusion:

Because of the LED lighting is a complete electronic products, with the diversification of LED lighting structure, the application of magnification, with more innovative LED lighting design, innovation, there will be more sensors are used in conjunction with the LED lighting and Lighting engineering system to go. A new era of intelligent LED lighting is coming, the lighting of human life will be more brilliance and comfort.
