Caused by the lack of standards in the industry view, an obvious impact is the uneven development of the industry, quality problems flooded the industry.

The media have reported that a lot of buyers from overseas, the biggest criticism for the Chinese LED products, LED energy-saving lamps in China, product quality poor, does not meet the relevant technical standards and environmental requirements, the life of low and easy on the human body hazards. As a result, a lot of LED task lighting lighting manufacturers often encountered overseas market return.

This kind of thing in an LED industry professionals seemed to have “normal”. “Because of the lack of standards for the led high bay lighting industry also led to low barriers to entry of the entire industry, regardless of what people go to do the LED, not professional not a professional there is no standard will be rudderless, a wide variety of production requirements has, so the market also appeared in a variety of uneven quality of the product. “the spokesman told reporters complained that the lack of a large number of small businesses LED core technology R & D and creative product design, but the imitation and infringement of innovative enterprises intellectual property rights of way, with “low-cost low-quality” play the market, which is also largely against the interests of innovative enterprises, affecting the healthy development of the market as a whole.

It is reported that China currently has more than 3,000 LED task lighting enterprises, but due to the lack of standards, the local government or the manufacturer in accordance with the standards set by the implementation of the operation of the lack of recognition of the product, industry, enterprise between the majority of in the respective war, alone, “the stage.

With the development of led task lighting, more an more LED high bay are exported throughout the world from China, so, more and more countries are looking for certificates of the led products.

Now, let’s check what are the most important certificate for led products.

1. In China. CCC means “China Compulsory Certification”, any electronic products which are sold in China must pass the EMC testing and Electromagnetic radiation testing.

2. In North America. UL is well knows as UnderwriterLaboratories Inc. This certificate is about the Safety tests and inspections on a variety of devices, systems and materials. Now, UL is the most stick certificate in the world.

3. In Europe. CE is a logo for safety. In Europe, if the products have CE logo, it’s not necessary to do any test of the different European standards. So, CE logo is just like a passport of led task lighting.

4. In the other countries. CB certificate is issued by IECEE (Worldwide System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrical Equipment), there are 44 countries accept the CB certificates, which are Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic,Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Italy, Kenya, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico,Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland,Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia-Montenegro, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States.

Besides all these certificates, also, we have CQC (China), CSA (Canada), TUV (Germany), FCC (USA), all these certificates are very important for the local markets. If your led task lighting are tested through these standards, it’s much easier to be sold in the world.

With the LED after another import indoor and outdoor lighting market, LED lighting prices have also dropped significantly, but the quality is poor also lead to many problems, it was noted around one after another set of LED lighting specifications, a number of mandatory lighting standard from 2012 onwardsthe road is expected to accelerate the vicious competition eliminated inferior, thereby bringing about the LED task lighting market reshuffle effect.

LED lighting applications has become increasingly common and diverse, the Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs’ Bureau of Standards in recent years have worked a number of LED lighting standards, norm-setting pace of following LED street leading countries in the world announced the end of 2010, enacted three common LED interior light standard, including LEDT8 straight tube lamp, LED Spotlights light steel frame light (including flat-panel lights), the industry pointed out that the relevant standards has been set, but the led high bay lamp after years of promotion, until 2012 is expected to expand the installation, as the Government import slowly add to budgeting operations, is estimated to be 2013 to 2014 is expected to release procurement tenders.

However, due to regional differences in climate and environment is too large, industry standards have not yet entered the national standards project despite the development of LED industry in full swing, by province respective dominant promote regional LED task lighting standards established, but according to the Development and Reform Commission recently LED lighting technical specifications, indoor LED downlight is expected to grant financial program technical specifications finalized in 2012 under the impetus of the continent’s second Five-Year plan, the Central announced LED interior lighting is expected to expand the implementation of priority projects.

A lot of people asked me, Why led task lighting are not universal in China? The reasons are very complicated.

1. Price. As we all know, the cost of LED products are very high,  it makes the price of LED Products are also much higher than the consumers could accept. Normally, Chinese only focus on the prices, never think of the energy saving. Now, if you use led products from good suppliers, like Eneltec (as we all know the top LED High Bay factory), you could use 7W led to replace 40W Incandescent bulbs, also, you could use 5W led to replace 26W CFL. The future market of led task lighting should not be only in big cities, but also the towns, villages. If we want millions of people buy the led products, firstly, you should make billions of people who know about the led products.

2. Environmental protection. The western countries buy a lot of LED products, why? Just because they are rich? NO. The most important reason is that, they have the concept of Environmental protection in their mind. If everybody in China really understand the importance of Environmental protection, the led products could be sold well in China.

3. Technology. Based on the technology now, led could output about 100lm/w. It’s still not high enough to replace all the traditional lightings.

If the led task lighting could output 200-250lu/w, the total cost of led products would be 50% off, at that time, the led would be universal in everywhere, even in China.

According to reports, Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute (TITRI) set up a Theme Pavilion in Taiwan International Lighting Technology Exhibition on 13^th last month, to show its research productivity in LED high bay lights. During this exhibition, TITRI demonstrate their omnibearing applications of LED lighting technology, including steel frame LED lighting, intelligent LED lights, led task lighting, LED outdoor landscape lights. Most of them have market potentials.

Intelligent led task lighting satisfies the standard of office lighting. It can completely replace the existing traditional T8/T5 tubes. At the same time, it can automatically adjust the light color temperature though the intelligent embedded control system.

Usually the color temperature is about 4000K in the morning, around 6000K at noon, about 3000K during the night. This Intelligent led task lighting can automatically adjust its brightness depends on the increase or decrease of sunlight or other auxiliary lights. It can maintain the same illumination without affecting lighting quality. Meanwhile it can offer comfortable lighting environment with tiny energy consumption.

Theoretically, led task lighting can maintain a relatively long life. Lighting failure usually occurs on DC/AC convertor, which is removable. The only thing left to be finished is to integrate all the circuit part into the intelligent control system except for the DC/AC convertor. This method can efficiently reduce costs, extend the service life.

In addition, TITRI also exhibit A19 Bulb packaging technology. The entire LED bulb changed to use heat plastic. Its light emitting angle is larger than the normal LED bulbs. This LED bulb is suitable for indoor decoration, lighting up a large range.
