LED ceiling lamps: large international companies in power

 

LED ceiling lamps: large international companies in power

 

The end of 2011, the 8th China International Semiconductor Lighting Exhibition and Forum activities, the major domestic and foreign enterprises collision and impact, we are true and felt a strong sense of the difference between domestic enterprises and large enterprises. Introduced to the President of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), in the amount of the overall marketing of the global LED ceiling lamps industry, Nichia, Cree, OSRAM these international giants have occupied the top of the charts, and far more than the opponent. China LED companies falls far short of internationally renowned and large enterprises from the size and strength, it is true, but also domestic LED enterprises have to face problems. To sum up, the main bottlenecks in the following aspects.

 

Compared with the international giants, the overall size of the LED business is relatively small and scattered strength. Earlier data show that the average annual sales of our LED ceiling lamps business in about 30 million yuan, the largest chip enterprises with annual sales revenue of 10 billion yuan, about $ 100 million, while U.S. Career sales in 2009 reached $ 567 million. The gap is obvious. With the technological advances faster and the formation of large-scale application of the market, LED large-scale production capabilities and product performance requirements will be higher, the LED high bay lamps business bigger and stronger, accelerate structural adjustment of the pressing needs.

 

The so-called collaborative innovation, the innovation is to focus on the goal, all forces work together, complement each other, with the collaboration of innovative behavior. New mechanism, a new model of collaborative innovation, collaborative research and market applications, LED domestic enterprises in the new era of a new initiative and new ideas.

Chinese LED boat lighting industry has a long way to go

 

Since the major domestic mainland China LED high bay production, has been to carry forward the “cottage” level, follow the trend of Europe and the United States, production is mostly back-end products. The country continues to introduce high equipment, advanced technology, but still exists a considerable gap between cutting-edge technology and international prices. In particular, although there are companies announced the establishment of R and D center chip on the chip manufacturing and high-quality package, but still weak. State-of-the-art technical requirements of high-end market, domestic enterprises mostly look prohibitive, have turned to the package, the application of labor-intensive areas. Excessive business competition are put into the back-end products, the lack of channels and immature, and the absence of the brand is flooded with low-end products, product homogeneity serious, the market is a bit confusing.

 

Patent property rights in the international high-end LED boat lighting, the proportion of China’s enterprises is extremely small, which involves the product patent minefield heavy, exceptionally awkward. Authoritative experts in the industry pointed out that the global LED patent portfolio the strongest, the proportion of the number of patents accounted for 28 percent of the world, while China accounted for the proportion of only 9.3% of the world, especially the extension of the upstream technology and chip manufacturing applications the amount of gap is obvious. LED chip substrate manufacturing, nearly 90 percent of companies have chosen to pay a lot of money royalties to Nichia Chemical of Japan. Although in recent years in mainland China LED boat lighting technology patent application rate of the first in the world, but in the original application for a patent, utility model patents, the proportion is as high as 68.5%, the ratio of invention patent applications accounted for only 31.5%, the structure of the patent application to be optimized.

Opportunities and challenges joint together in LED aquarium lighting market

 

Opportunities and challenges joint together in LED aquarium lighting market

 

National Development and Reform Commission, Central Information Secretary, Deputy Director Xie pole raised in the forum, China is a developing country, but also a particular developing countries, the Chinese nation is a love of learning nation. Miss Wu Ling, Chairman of the International Semiconductor strategic alliance also pointed out that at this stage, China in the development of LED road will encounter many challenges, for example, the unit cost of the luminous efficiency is not high as well as technical aspects, but also many opportunities. Thus, such an opportunity and challenges of the macro backdrop, China’s LED aquarium lighting business is the starting point than later, but a good opportunity, they can feel free to make a big fight.

 

The actual situation of China’s LED aquarium lighting industry, the semiconductor lighting Union proposed the concept of Joint Innovation, Science and Technology Department of Guangdong Province have brought forward the concept of collaborative innovation, both stressed the innovative new meaning. According to Li Xinghua, Director of the Guangdong Province Science and Technology Agency, 2011 LED scale of the industry in Guangdong Province reached 150 billion yuan output value and the scale continues to rank first in the country. Domestic LED industry is currently facing two problems, first, core technology and key equipment controlled by others, the second is the difficulty of marketing and applications. As soon as possible to resolve these two bottlenecks, we must establish a new mechanism for collaborative innovation.

 

These objective factors, the domestic LED enterprises in order on the world stage occupied a party must be serious and seriously the gap between themselves and opponents, its essence, the ship of its essence, a long way to go. Thus, the domestic LED high bay lighting enterprises have the opportunity to participate in global R & D and innovation, and market competition.

E40 led street light: the proper competition is so important

 

First, collaborative innovation is the effective integration of technology resources. LED is a multidisciplinary field, should work together to overcome the LED core technology, the enterprise needs, research institutes, government departments, cooperative interaction, to be able to achieve industry objectives. Second, collaborative innovation has contributed to the multi-linkage. As the emerging green technology, the E40 led street light also faced with higher prices, lower awareness of traditional enterprises have met with resistance problems, Guangdong Province has been carried out and the establishment of the Cooperative institutions, joint implementation of LED products to promote demonstration projects continue to expand the size of the market; open organizational structure to absorb the advantages of resources to systems integration.

 

In the specific implementation, Guangdong Province, also played an exemplary role. In August 2011, the Guangdong Province Science and Technology Department of the lead organization of 21 research institutions and leading enterprises jointly set up the Guangdong Province joint innovation center of the semiconductor industry, lighting industry. The center as a link, the industry chain downstream or complementary technology companies, universities and research institutions join forces to overcome a number of E40 led street light core and key technologies. At present, Guangdong LED license number of patents for 1270, ranked first in the country. Open cooperation in collaborative innovation, accelerate the pace of independent innovation of the LED industry.

 

Currently, experts from universities, research institutes, LED enterprises and industry associations have jointly drawn Guangdong LED Industry Technology Roadmap, government and industry to more clearly grasp the mainstream product of the LED high bay lighting industry, the industry objectives and core technology R and D direction, combination implement scientific and technological innovation is more focused and efficient.

Create the dimmable LED downlight state-owned enterprises style

 

In the opening speech of the forum report, the Ministry of Science and Technology Vice Minister Cao Jianlin also announced the national goal of “12” dimmable LED downlight plan: by 2015, LED industry luminous efficiency of lumens to 150 lumens / watt, R and D level200 lumens / W, life expectancy of 50,000 hours, the market reached 500 billion yuan; semiconductor lighting innovative applications, product development, systems solutions to reach the world advanced level, the establishment of the joint Laboratory of the world-class, and the least contribution to the 2international standards.

 

The dimmable LED downlight industry is currently high price of existing product, awareness is low, the original interest in the chain resistance and other issues. Guangdong to establish a joint conference system in the province, the relevant departments jointly organized and implemented the “thousand million” high-power LED high bay light industrialization demonstration and extension projects and green lighting model city special action. Canton (state) music (Chang), Bo (Law) deep (Shenzhen), the new highway LED lighting demonstration project construction has started, the province install LED street lamp over 260,000, more than 2500 kilometers of the demonstration sections, the scale and progress among the country.

 

First, develop the market. The present situation, the domestic LED display market to some extent has reached a mature stage, the lighting market is not yet fully grown up, we all know, LED real space is in the lighting market. “12 Five” is the critical period of development of LED lighting market, whether open also depends on the development of this period, the domestic LED. Thus, the cultivation of the market is particularly important.

D900 led downlight: competitions from the Middle East

Technological innovation. “In theory the life of the LED chip can reach 100,000 hours, which are not empty words, a person’s life a lamp, this slogan is not an ideal lying.

D900 led downlight: competitions from the Middle East

In general, all aspects of the D900 led downlight chip performance play out will be able to achieve the ideal state. “industry experts said so. But to ensure that the method of maximizing the level of this theory is the technological innovation and progress. The relatively early timing of the large foreign corporate R and D strength, talent, and the environment in all aspects advantage, while the LED high bay lighting domestic enterprises, even if it is a listed company, do not have a strong fighting strength in key technologies and core equipment. Technological innovation is reflected in two aspects. The hands of a few large companies part of the first patents for inventions, the key patents in all of them in a few countries such as Japan, USA, Germany, while a small number of patent applications in China, and mostly belong to the peripheral technology, effect pending a new patent can not form a patent network. Followed in terms of talents after domestic institutions and there is no corresponding very counterparts in the professional setting, which led to most of the new light source associated with the enterprise management personnel, engineers and production line of talent is very scarce. Technology to determine the fundamental of the product, there is no technological progress, there will be advances in the industry, not to the external competitiveness of the capital. Thus, the domestic D900 led downlight enterprises to strengthen technological innovation, there is an urgent and important.

Prices of LED household lighting products drops tremendously

 

Market participants said the 2011 lighting industry, the initial downturn, the market generally reflects not the busy season, the off-season is more light out of a tortuous line, Guzhen LED household lighting price index in the busy atmosphere, but overall, still better than 2010, the annual lighting wholesale price index rose 19 percent.

 

Outdoor lighting series from the index, the index fluctuations in the past six months this year, the start is still unstable in the first week was 91.8, the third week fell to 81.1, the current rose to 88.4, or 5.62 percent, or where several indicators the. The light source index of the past six months the overall rise, but more volatile after the start of the year, this year the second week index was 115.7, but the second and third weeks lost more than 10 points.

 

In addition to price instability in the price index reflects the number of lighting products since the beginning of this year, according to customs statistics on lighting exports can be found in the export of such products subsequent fatigue. According to statistics, 2011 Zhongshan lamps, lighting fixtures and similar products exported $ 870 million, down 0.6 percent; in January of this year, LED high bay lamps, lighting fixtures and similar products exported $ 070 million, up sharply down 24.1%.

 

To industry analysts, the 2012 LED household lighting industry will be faced with the raw materials, high internal and external demand slowdown, industry competition and pressure, 2012 Guzhen Lighting price index will continue to show the ups and downs of prices of the traditional peak seasons for white, full-year trend steadily, but the rate slowed down slightly in 2011.

Domestic MOCVD successfully reduce the price of LED reef tank lighting

 

Domestic MOCVD successfully reduce the price of LED reef tank lighting

 

Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of LED reef tank lighting research and the success of the LED light chip manufacturing key equipment MOCVD LED equipment manufacturers in China entered a new stage of history.

 

MOCVD metal organic chemical vapor deposition, is the key equipment of the production of LED reef tank lighting chip technology is extremely difficult, the world’s major monopolized by two companies, including Germany Aixtron with the United States Veeco’s  (Veeco’s mergers and Emcore company MOCVD business) two home.

 

Developed successful MOCVD LED Lighting Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, its technical level has reached the standard of the sale of the MOCVD, perhaps to be slightly worse than the famous reserves of the new generation of MOCVD equipment, but apparently the actual business running, you can input the industrial production of LED lamps, will eventually lead to lower prices of LED lights, so that ordinary people lucky enough to use this high-tech environmentally friendly products. There must be a high temperature and pressure control capabilities, including the amount of a variety of gases control, and all this in a confined space, it is clear difficulty is much higher than automobile engines.

 

Due to the presence of monopoly and technical barriers, the manufacturers use high-priced strategy, to profiteering, a set of equipment of millions of dollars, thus the final LED chip prices remain high, transmitted to the downstream so that the price of led high bay lights also difficult to reduce, and ultimately lead to the LED lights difficult to spread, the only high-end users can enjoy this environmentally friendly energy-saving lighting products.
