LED shop lighting: the new opportunities from the upstream


LED shop lighting: the new opportunities from the upstream

 

“The current high cost of LED high bay manufacturing as a whole. A technical RD and market analysts said that in the upper reaches of technological innovation, companies still have a chance.

 

Industry observers believe that the key driver of cost reduction GaN LED shop lighting chip production transfer from sapphire or silicon carbide substrate to a silicon substrate, this new way of being the support of many of the major manufacturers in the industry, although varying degrees of success. “But the technical update is a very difficult thing, new technology and more immature, supporting the production equipment is expensive, the yield of new products needs to be improved, and now rashly launched may result in higher production costs.” Of the technology RD said. In addition, the construction costs of the production line is probably still not recovered, is not likely soon to application of new technologies, construction of a new production line.

 

At the same time, domestic chip manufacturers to purchase a large number by MOCVD, but due to lack of professional and technical personnel, the production process to grasp is not in place, the low level of production management, production of chips of poor quality, domestic package and enterprises to use the chip must mostly imported from Taiwan. So improvements in this area there is still room, but also takes time. The source said that other enterprises will have a huge room for opportunity to LED shop lighting control areas, and now some companies to promote the concept of “Smart Lighting”. The so-called “Smart Lighting” that is, through a control platform, using a handheld wireless remote control, centralized control switches on the walls and even a mobile phone and computer can control on one occasion, all the lamps and other.

Diagnosis for Chinese mains LED lighting industry in 2012

 

Mains LED lighting industry as a strategic new industry has formed a complete layout of the global industrial chain, where embodied? Following main points:

 

1, Luminous efficiency of continuous improvement and product quality steadily improved. The luminous efficiency before the annual average of 15% improved steadily and is expected to reach more than 200lm/w, estimated catalog value up to 200lm/w white LED high bay lights will be two or three years available.

 

2, Lower manufacturing costs and sales prices downward. The price of the LED will be an average annual rate of 30% or higher rate of decline.

 

3, the high-voltage LED will be the future of an important direction. Because it has two advantages, clearing the indoor lighting market is the biggest technical obstacles, bringing the lower of cost and weight of mains LED lighting industry, dramatically reducing the cooling system design requirements.

 

4, the COB packaging technology has matured. Mainly because of its low cost and convenient, application, design diversification, the COB packaging Bulb occupy about 40% of the LED light bulb market, Japan and mainland China, many companies are beginning to take the COB package mode.

 

5, LED drive power trends. Downstream product development to the interior lighting industry will be gradually broken down. Mains LED lighting industry chips lumen technology improved, lower power requirements. LED drive power gradually to modular, intelligent development. The mainland-based market from the current gradually turning into an international-based.

 

6, the quick start of the indoor lighting market and development. The field of interior lighting is an important aspect of future development of the LED recognized.

 

LED road lighting industry, to stick or to go out

 

LED road lighting industry, to stick or to go out

 

With the industry continuously evolves, the LED road lighting industry broke into the lighting market, “veteran” status to the how to hold? “Innovator’s dilemma”, Clayton Christensen mentioned, there are two Business Innovation, the sense of continuous innovation (sustaining innovation), and breakthrough innovation (disruptive innovation). Christensen believes that the corporate value system changes “that people used to evaluate the product standards change, this change did not predict competitors will fail. LED under the impact of the change the face of this “value system”, the lighting veteran in innovation to make a choice?

 

Xu Qinghui, the famous lighting designer, lighting design director of Guangzhou Copper, a long history, the LED road lighting industry can only be considered a new light, and not greater than when fluorescent lamps, metal halide revolution. However, the microscopic point of view, the change of depth, breadth, much quicker pace than the previous light. Therefore, the traditional lighting companies, long term persistent changes in the short term, breakthrough innovation and change. From the practical operation of the perspective, this is a breakthrough innovation, the difficulty is not small, unique research and development of traditional lighting companies, markets, procurement, quality inspection team are not qualified for this new task, and even the original sales pipeline system may have overwhelming need to add a lot of resources, even the direct use of the capital means to carry out mergers and acquisitions, cooperation.

 

LED situation, the traditional lighting companies need breakthrough innovative, but not every traditional lighting companies need to build up a huge LED high bay lighting R and D team, on the one hand, no need to repeat someone else’s crooked road.

High efficiency white LED break into the field of lighting

 

High efficiency white LED break into the field of lighting

 

When high efficiency white LED army march forth to break into the field of lighting, whether the pattern of the entire lighting industry will occur fission? Mao, general manager of global illumination Lizhi Peng, the former three male Aurora installed products project director of that: “the traditional lighting companies, the LED only be regarded as the light source to bring a product extension of the nature of innovation, but does bring a lot of innovation in the lighting design concept bright spot “in his view, Mitsuo Aurora, NVC and Op traditional lighting companies the technology is not necessarily the biggest obstacle, because these enterprises are market research, product analysis and technical study has some precipitation. The traditional lighting companies short-term force is not necessarily a technical problem, the key is to cut time to market; pattern will certainly change, but more enterprises had accumulated basis and post-operation of the market to depend on.

 

Senior industry marketing people, Chen Wei, said: “High efficiency white LED will change the existing pattern of the lighting industry, faced with breakthrough innovations to the traditional lighting companies in the new situation. Compared with conventional light sources, LED high bay light is not just a simple lamp with light source. requirements, the technical threshold is mainly reflected in the technical understanding of the chips, re-design of the power, cooling world, the appearance and optical design, the life of the illumination light effect can be standard product is easy to do, good product it is difficult, such as an MR16 bulb, you need to with traditional transformer thermal lumen dimmable above 400, the color is better, the price should be moderate, this is not a professional R and D is to get it working. LED overall lighting each watts 100 lumens now not a few companies can do. ”

Behind the “God theory” of solar LED street lights price

 

Behind the "God theory” of solar LED street lights price

 

2011, the entire solar LED street lights price is looking forward to the introduction of financial subsidy policy of the semiconductor lighting products, and all the speculation in details. Finally, in the end of February 2012, China National Electronics Import and Export Corporation by the Ministry of Finance Department of Economic Construction, Development and Reform Commission resource-saving and Environmental Protection Division, the Division of High-tech Development and Industrialization of the Ministry of Science and Technology commissioned a 2012 semiconductor lighting products, financial subsidies to promote the project (divided into indoor lighting products and outdoor lighting products) to the mainland public tender. March 20, 110 enterprises to participate in the bidding.

 

How to participate in the bidding enterprise price? And last tender than those changes? International companies participating in the tender price? Successful results are not out, but the tender scene 110 part of the offer of the scene in an uproar. Models offer significant differences between the 10-per-watt prices were 10 to 20 yuan, the nature of the tender is to open part of the solar LED street lights price through subsidies, such a low price will not comment on market bad role model, is also worth to think rationally.

 

The LED high bay lamps built-in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, lights in the ordinary case of power supply will charge itself, the lighting will automatically switch to battery-powered mode after 3 hours, two hours later will switch to the normal mode, and so the cycle lighting not need to consume additional power, due to the battery lighting mode, so the actual power consumption is only 30% of the ordinary fluorescent lamp of the same wattage, 60% of the ordinary LED lamp of the same wattage.

110 companies participated the LED street lights tender

 

110 companies participated the LED street lights tender

 

With the specifications of the tender of the same type of product price difference is huge difference between two specifications of the LED street lights the highest bid and lowest offer 10 times! 6 inch down lights between the high-low price of the difference of 31 times, of course, low-priced products power is only 4.5W, the power of high-priced products the 62W is not much comparable between products.

 

Among them, the average price of four international companies involved in the bidding 9000lm LED street lamp is 3688 yuan per watt price average of 37.87 yuan/W, higher than the overall mean, but which also has a factory out 1122 yuan low price; four international companies involved in the bidding-inch LED street lights tender average price of 367.5 yuan per watt price average of 23.79 yuan/W. 4 quotes were higher than the tender of six-inch down light average price. Collate all tender-per-watt price, and calculate the average. On the whole, the average of the price per watt of the 10 specifications of products are 10-20 yuan / W, below the prevailing market price.

 

28 companies won the bid in the last round (2010), 25 participated in the round tender, the same product and price are the last round of the prices were again lower the past two years, falling prices are not unrelated.

 

Product tender notice requirements of the tender the bidder must own production, manufacturing; vote LED high bay light, reflective self-ballasted LED street lights tender with an annual output of less than 200,000, LED lamps, LED tunnel lights of less than 3 , 10000; bidders registered capital of not less than 50 million yuan.
