U.S. LED lighting industry analysis and market forecasts

San Diego, California held conference call"2011leds conference". U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) program manager JimBrodrick lighting as the first spokesman, made a presentation entitled the report "The United States state of the LED industry and market forecasts", JimBrodrick in the report describes the solid-state lighting (SSL) technology and limit the success of LED lighting products in other applications procedures used in the technical shortcomings.

    First, Brodrick described DOE SSL and focus on the reasons for LED lighting technology investments, quoted in Department of Energy report released earlier this year, Brodrick said that if the seven kinds of traditional lighting LED lighting applications all from the alternative, may be annual savings of Energy 233 megawatt hours (TWh) of electricity - enough to support nineteen million households electricity.

    Brodrick in the middle of the report describes the SSL industry of the United States, spoke of LED lighting products, he introduced: "If you start from a blank sheet to design and to produce a product that is really very good." He added that good design must address all aspects of a lamp, including LED chips, optics, electronics, thermal management and mechanical design.

    Brodrick said, LED lighting used recessed downlights, outdoor area lighting, 2x2 feet in the dark and frozen lighting lamp trough lighting performance are perfect, but the LED bulbs used in only a small modification with lamps, linear replacement lamps and concave circular ceiling lighting performance is not so good. But. The four feet linear LED lamp has been gradually improved, close to the efficiency of fluorescent lamps, but the directional LED light output and distribution of fluorescent lamp as the light is still not as good as divergent as the cylindrical type.

   Nevertheless, Brodrick said in light output and cost advantages in some applications or applications, such as those hard-to place for longer life on the LED lamp. He also said, LED lamp on the vibration often occurs in the region and climate extremes is still a good choice. Another example is that only a small light bulb with a modified lighting, Brodrick said that while LED technology has been applied to this getting better, but they are generally inferior to incandescent light output, light color quality and light distribution.

    Brodrick also recently introduced the Department of Energy test: Energy purchased the 33 LED torches in eight major U.S. retail stores for testing, the results show that the majority failed to meet basic performance parameters, consumers are more satisfied with incandescent or halogen the lighting effects.

    In color quality, Brodrick said, LED manufacturers have made significant improvements, more stringent classification of lighting manufacturers is helpful. DOE will continue its multi-year program plan for SSL to increase lumen output and performance targets. In performance terms, Brodrick said: We are seeking to achieve cold white light 258 lumens / watt.

India LED market grew rapidly, the world's most potential market

In the occasion of the global LED market continues to expand. LED market is growing rapidly in India, becoming one of the most influential of the LED market. 2011, the Indian LED market reached 10.2% average annual growth rate of more than. LED products market in India mainly in the automotive, consumer electronics, communications, computers and lighting industries.

LED lighting market space in India: the overall annual growth rate will be 41.5%

With India's rapid progress of urbanization and industrialization, a large number of India's surge in demand for electricity, and consumption is also a lot of growth. Lighting power load 12% in India, if it is folded into carbon dioxide released, the combined, for a total energy consumption, will result in 52.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions is only used for lighting. Thus, with energy saving features of the LED demand growth, according to data, if 25% of India's lighting system, LED lighting power load into a load of carbon dioxide emissions will be able to directly reduce emissions by 25% per year in India, its value of about 13 billion euros, which is a huge market.

It is reported that India's overall growth rate of the LED lighting market will be 41.5% until 2015. 2009 is only $ 49 million, which represents 3.1% of the lighting market, which means that market space and potential.

India imports mainly by demand for LED products

India's demand for LED products mainly rely on imports in 2004, imports amounted to 6,470 in India LED million U.S. dollars, import volume in 2005 has increased to 7,123 million U.S. dollars, import volume in 2006 reached 8,850 LED million U.S. dollars, annual rate of more than 11.93%, to 2010 India is expected to exceed $ 1 billion, 12% annual growth rate of breaking is quite the global LED market growth potential in emerging markets.

LED interior lighting market in India still need to cultivate

It is understood that in the Indian market, LED lighting is mainly outdoor use, many of the streets or on the monument, cheap LED torches is common outdoor use in India. At the same time, we can also see the LED lighting market in India has been limited: first, the price is too high, LED prices to drop at least 3 times. In fact, a lot of LED lights can be placed directly on a number of other direct replacement of fluorescent lamps, but the price is expensive, many people want the. Therefore, LED products must let people can bear in the economy. Another aspect, consumer awareness is still relatively low.
