One step ahead of LED solar street lighting system in China

 

Jinan University Institute of Technology Professor Chen Changying, from the “green light” to “green communication” is an inevitable trend of the future of lighting. Design wireless communication capability embedded in installation of LED solar street lighting system can be achieved through the use of semiconductor lighting system to implement high-speed multimedia transmission of digital information, lighting will be able to download information.

 

Domestic lighting enterprises start line in the layout of sensing, communications, multimedia and intelligent lighting. The scientists of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Semiconductors, LED optical communication the smart home system, to achieve lighting, Smart Communications, the organic integration of intelligent control. Semiconductor smart home system, semiconductor LED high bay lights, the lighting at the same time as the light source of optical wireless communication. “Relevant person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Semiconductors, to reporters.

 

Intelligent LED lighting, LED street light applications has been one step ahead. Spark Technology, Shenzhen City, an upgraded version of LED solar street lighting system also uses a new intelligent drive power, the introduction of a central control system, remote monitoring of lighting, you can instantly adjust the lamp brightness (0-100%) through a set of LED lamps, the LED lights at busy times to maintain a strong illumination, the thin man came from the middle of the night car start auto-dimming, LED street lamps to maintain than the illumination of lighting. Overall, the main advantages of the intelligent control of LED lights is to significantly reduce consumption; ground on the optical sensor and LED street lamps combine the use of mobile phones can directly control the lighting.

The LED street lighting industry is in an increasing competition

Lighting manufacturers, product differentiation is very important, when energy and labor costs as the design needs to consider the main issues, large lighting almost need to “intelligent”. Intelligent light control areas did not form scale national consumer market, but most of the intelligent lighting manufacturers still trying to guide consumers, the construction of the channel has also been exploring the mode suitable for this industry, close to the real needs of the product increasing the positioning and stability of the product’s features have made ​​considerable progress, the future of intelligent control systems to boost LED high bay lighting applications, will open a new era of LED street lighting products.

 

In another development, LED city of Dongguan will be introduced “in 2012, Dongguan City, the development of LED industry, the working assumption, Dongguan City, the LED as a key support for the development of industry, the development of industrial base planning, clear the two industries the main direction, set up three industrialpublic platform, the combination of the four elements of industrial development, the construction of five industry segments Park, take five industry to promote measures to break through the upstream, complete Dongguan LED street lighting industry chain, the 2015 LED output value 50 billion yuan. The public comment period ending March 16, Dongguan Science and Technology Bureau said that after the end of the publicity period according to co-ordinate presentation of the views of all parties, a formal program will be introduced in the near future. The industry believes that the Guangdong Province in the LED street lighting industry standard system of promotion and industry development policy support efforts are national leading and worthy of recognition.

LED industry, the good news is that one by one, the “12th Five-Year Plan of Guangdong has just released soon,” organized by the Ministry of Finance, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Science and Technology 2012 semiconductor lighting products, financial subsidies to promote the project, “March 20Schönbrunn Palace Hotel Beijing, Beijing Office of the domestic public tender, nearly 300 of the tender on behalf of 110 companies from across the country participated in the tender. Which, in addition to Philips, Osram and other internationally renowned enterprises, professional of Maile Si, and Huizhou Light Engine mains LED lighting enterprises, and NVC, the sun lighting, snow Wright and other transition from the traditional lighting of LED companies have been involved tender. The final tender results have yet to be announced. The financial subsidies to promote the project is the Ministry of Finance to promote subsidies for mains LED lighting products for the first time. According to the announcement shows that the enterprises involved in the tender must have independent legal personality, registered capital of not less than 50 million yuan. The tender consists of indoor lighting products – LED high bay light, reflective self-ballasted LED lights and outdoor lighting products – LED street light, LED tunnel lights products.

 

Chaos in the industry clusters, the dangerous status quo, the face of blind expansion, overcapacity and price competition and other issues, a large number of domestic LED business even if there is policy support, if you do not face their own problems, improve the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises, the result is still out of the market.

In addition to subsidies, the state with respect to tariffs of the LED industry also carried out relief. In March of this year, China’s Ministry of Finance, Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of General Administration of Customs and State Administration of Taxation four ministries jointly issued “Notice on the adjustment of the major technologies and equipment import tax policy directory in tariffs and import link value-added 28 new major technologies and equipment in the adjustment of the tax directory, outdoor LED landscape lighting equipment to become one of the plates benefit the most obvious of the three emerging industries. Selected countries to support the development of major technical equipment and product directory (2012 Amendment) of the semiconductor light-emitting diode (LED) production equipment for the new class of equipment. In accordance with the provisions of the “notice”, since April 1, LED three types of equipment imported parts and components duty-free, which means that the localization of the outdoor LED landscape lighting devices, independent innovation will be possible. Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Semiconductors, researcher Wang Zhanguo pointed out that if they can use China’s own manufacturing equipment, the cost is expected to gradually reduce the cost of the product can be improved.

 

The conditions of the various manufacturers of low capacity utilization rate, the 2011 LED chip supply is still as high as 174 billion chip demand of only 129 billion, the oversupply ratio is as high as 35%, so the second half of most LED high bay manufacturers face huge inventory adjustment pressure. Moreover, there are more MOCVD machine capacity cannot yet fully released, the situation of oversupply in 2012 will intensify, CD-patent threshold and high-tech manufacturers. The situation of oversupply in 2012 is difficult to solve in the short term, but the LED end-market demand continued rapid growth in 2012 will depend on the individual company performance into the bigger the elimination contest.

Policy support is not enough, light, but also the rules of the game. Zones in Shenzhen’s desire to become the first person to eat crab. March 21, held in Shenzhen City of LED yard lighting industry standard publishing and industrial measurement Publicizing General Assembly, Shenzhen LED Industry Standards Alliance released a series of standard indoor LED lighting technology specification – Part 3: tube-shaped lights “”part 4: light Bulb” standard, as well as LED lights product standards enacted in 2010 revised edition. At present, Shenzhen LED industry’s overall production value of 70 billion yuan, accounting for 40% of the market share. Insiders said the rapid development of LED industry in Shenzhen and its matching technical standards is also an urgent need to be regulated and determined.

 

It is understood that the indoor LED yard lighting bulb and indoor LED tube lamp standard in Shenzhen first proposed the first time in the country. Shenzhen LED yard lighting Industry Alliance, the official said, the standards on the energy efficiency of indoor lighting, grading and color temperature, color rendering index, test methods and other provisions, aimed at regulating the chaotic domestic LED indoor lighting market, improve the Shenzhen indoor lighting level of technology, to enhance the market competitiveness of the Shenzhen LED indoor lighting products.

 

In addition, the LED high bay lights in the revised standard specifies the specific lumen maintenance revised to not less than 98% energy efficiency rating parameters have a more substantial upgrade than before. Industry sources say that the biggest highlight of this revision is the first time, general-purpose simulation design software for lighting simulation and experimental results, the combination of as considerations LED street light product performance means.

LED studio lighting: fierce competitions comes from Taiwan and Japan


LED studio lighting: fierce competitions comes from Taiwan and Japan

 

Data show, LED studio lighting industry on a global scale in 2009 by region are as follows: the output value of Japanese packaging companies ranked first, accounting for 33% of the global LED package output in 2009; China Taiwan packaging companies ranked second, accounting for17% of the world; Korean companies in recent years to increase the input of the LED packaging industry, the output value rose from 9 percent in 2008 to 15 percent in 2009; the Chinese mainland enterprises LED studio lighting industry, global market share is steadily rising market share in 200911%.

 

It can be seen, in spite of policy support, China’s LED high bay lighting business situation is still worrying. At present, the two sets of photoelectric enterprises to accelerate the pace to enter the mainland. It is understood that the March 17, the Shanghai Yaming Lighting Co., Ltd. held a signing ceremony of Taiwan Friends of the International Optoelectronics, Epistar joint venture encapsulated high voltage (HV-LED) LED module with high voltage (HV-LED) LED finished lamp project. Signing this looks beautiful, seems to have opened a new chapter in cross-strait cooperation in the field of LED feature lighting, but the industry is concerned that this is Taiwan in disguise to enter the LED market in the Mainland. In another development, was the monthly quarterly basis, the rise of a great situation in the Taiwan LED studio lighting industry boom recently, Taiwanese enterprises Ying-hui photoelectric work on March 18 strategic partners, the Japanese Electrical Co., Ltd., was formally unveiled at the Shanghai Museum and lighting of LED experience design Center. Ying-hui said that the future will be Shanghai, where radiation continent-wide market, providing train services from the production technology, design, installation to after-sales service. These messages just saw the policy of the sweetness of local LED business is undoubtedly a blow.

The stock crisis caused by overcapacity of T5 high bay lights

 

The stock crisis caused by overcapacity of T5 high bay lights

 

However, the most embarrassing thing is that the T5 high bay lights upstream of the stock crisis, how to relieve, is a very difficult problem to solve. Shares the same side, vice president of Lianghai MOCVD one day out of two furnaces, one day the cost is $ 10,000 a month is $ 300,000, but cannot easily stop. Once shut down, and then to begin production, product quality to achieve the original level, in general but also three, customer certification of T5 high bay lights chips and packaged devices may need to be 3-6, “where the loss is incalculable.” Perhaps based on this, since 2011, three safety photoelectric stock of LED high bay lights has been in a doubling of momentum. Discovered in 2011 and 2010 quarterly earnings report from 3 An optical three photoelectric safety inventory in early 2011 only 310 million yuan in the first quarter has increased to 481 million yuan in the second quarter to grow again to 670 million yuan, the third quarter surge to 933 million yuan, compared to the beginning of the year, 310 million yuan, an increase of more than three times. 3 An optical three quarters of 2011 total revenue was 1.169 billion yuan. 3 An optical two-year earnings figures calculated in 2011, the inventory turnover rate in the third quarter, safety optoelectronics (inventory turnover frequency) is 1.12, while over the same period in 2010 was 2.27; optical inventory turnover in the first half of 2011, three security was 0.92, while over the same period in 2010 was 2.11. The inventory turnover reflects sales efficiency and the efficiency of inventory use. The amount of inventory turnover ratio fell, indicating that the deceleration of corporate inventory turnover, sales decreased ability to operating funds used in the inventory will be more.

LED household lighting: overcapacity of 35% in 2011

 

Dynamic of Korean companies need to pay more attention to the example of Seoul Semiconductor gradually to reach a cross-licensing with international five LED Factory, Samsung Electronics Samsung LED integrated into, in addition to technically can be closely integrated with the semiconductor sector, own production of LED household lighting supply to improve the phone backlight and the proportion of the TV backlight more within the Samsung Group, with the global deployment of marketing channels within the group, the development of lighting brand is a strong opponent of all LED household lighting manufacturers, but to increase the technical content of patent threshold only opportunity to survive in this knockout. Looking forward to the market demand, the 2011 global LED-backlit LCD TV (LEDTV) shipments obviously not as good as expected, the total LCD TV shipments is raised to 203 million units from 220 million audience, but with the major events of the London Olympics in 2012, and TV brand vendors want to launch low-cost LED backlit TV to stimulate demand, expected sales of LCD TVs is expected to increase in the number of emerging markets.

 

The LED lighting market, although the largest proportion of European and American markets in the commercial lighting market in the European credit crisis, the European market growth momentum has been relatively slow, but the project from the public sector or the plant has signs of growth. Especially the United States, the Australian market to LED high bay lighting, architectural lighting project number and size of continuous upgrading, LED street plan and project of the eastern United States showed growth, and Australia also have lights tenders released by the power plant is gradually taking shape. . In addition to project-oriented field of higher margin products, LED household lighting development, LED Bulb market or the Japanese market progress faster. As for the professional lighting, plants and agricultural lighting (including UV-curing), freezer lighting, etc., will be more and more attention by the industry.

Solar led street light manufacturers suffer serious inventory crisis

“In fact, LED application market has been in accordance with normal market rates on the rise, but the domestic LED production release is too fast.” Chen Bin, general manager of Guangdong Long traffic, said that the current solar led street light manufacturers inventory crisis is mainly concentrated in the upstream of the LED epitaxial wafers, midstream package and downstream level, basically-to-order, and not too much inventory crisis. However, the domestic LED upstream inventory crisis is not unique, including Taiwan, Japan and South Korea’s LED upstream manufacturers are facing tremendous pressure on the stock. Taiwan Epistar the third quarter of 2011 revenue of 42.6 billion New Taiwan dollars, quarter by 20 percent, the annual reduction of 26%, capacity utilization is only about 70%.

Solar led street light manufacturers suffer serious inventory crisis

“In accordance with the beginning of the year LED upstream announced the investment plans, LED upstream capacity may advance overdraft more than three years of market growth in demand.” Jiangxi crystal and lighting company chairman Wang Min said upstream of the most Solar led street light manufacturers have discontinued at least 1/3 capacity and even some cut-off 50%; LED packaging and application of the middle and lower reaches of enterprises generally underemployed. As of the end of July 2011, the number of domestic MOCVD equipment in place there are 543 units; new planning investment amounted to 146.8 billion yuan as of September 30, the domestic LED high bay lighting industry, the third quarter of planning investment amounting to 28.3 billion yuan. The price plummeted It is reported that the upstream manufacturers of the domestic production of LED epitaxial wafers up to 60-80, with a certain size is almost 10. High inventory of LED chips from the direct benefits brought about by a straight line down the market price.

Gong Weibin 2 yuan 8 yuan energy-saving lamps to replace incandescent spent more than 10 years time, let the $ 50 LED lights to replace incandescent dream, consumers will wait for prices to decline further. Awkward currently on the market, LED solar street light product prices because of overcapacity because rapid decline, but the number was no significant growth phase. Domestic LED lighting products there is no uniform standard of market access, product quality is uneven, not only the common people lack the awareness, and even many industrial customers also expressed doubts about the quality of LED lighting products.

 

Learned from a number of LED enterprises, originally expected in 2011 the domestic LED lighting market penetration will rise to 6%, but that is less than 1%. LED terminal reality of the market, before the madness of the LED input irreconcilable contradictions. A number of LED lighting companies, said the soaring prices of rare earth elements and phosphors, a direct result of rising prices of energy-saving lamps to become LED high bay lighting to replace the energy-saving lamps may, overseas and domestic markets are likely to explosive growth in the beginning and mid-year . However, this is not true. The economic downturn in Europe and the United States in mid-October Canton Fair has become the exhibition of LED lighting products, most of the LED lighting companies did not achieve the desired order. Domestic LED solar street light market is also concentrated in the industrial markets, such as government procurement, some of the luxury hotels, office buildings, etc.. “LED lighting in the domestic market penetration rate of less than 1%, did not truly enter into the people at home.” The Jihua Guang Zhang Yajun of electric operations manager said.
