Ministry of Finance to restart the first time, subsidies to promote the LED market

After six months of "winter", the LED market seems to have signs of recovery.

Shenzhen LED Industry Association survey shows that the LED market was in March to major package, backlighting applications, screen applications, lighting applications, enterprise orders plump, middle and lower reaches of the area of ​​strong demand also led the substantial growth of the upper reaches of supporting materials. The person in charge that this is because of the steady growth of Europe and the United States and other overseas markets, Japan, "3.11" earthquake triggering a nuclear crisis, the government and the public on energy saving LED products to maintain a great deal of attention, LED lighting needs to usher in a large outbreak. While the policy aspect of the recent frequent support information, and also brought hope to the domestic LED business.

Policy favorable frequent

The end of March, "organized by the Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, 2012 semiconductor lighting products, financial subsidies to promote the project" Schönbrunn Palace Hotel in Beijing, a public tender to determine the energy efficient lighting products to promote corporate, product specifications and protocols for for the price. According to reports, a total of more than 100 companies participated in the tender.

The financial subsidies to promote the project is the Ministry of Finance for LED products for the first time to promote subsidies, it was mainly purchased for the upstream chip companies by MOCVD (GaN metal organic chemical vapor deposition machine) subsidies. The tender consists of indoor lighting products, LED lamp, reflective self-ballasted LED lights, LED street lamps and outdoor lighting products, LED tunnel lights, four categories of products.

According to China to phase out incandescent line diagram, power level, in five phases from October 1, 2011 phase out the import and sale of general lighting incandescent. According to the data of the Development and Reform Commission, the incandescent lamp in 2010 domestic sales of 1.07 billion. Insiders said that the phasing out of incandescent, alternative products will be the traditional energy-saving light source and LED lighting two categories.

Development and Reform Commission is very invested 8 billion yuan in subsidies for civilian use LED lighting in the year. "According to the Investment Advisor in Senior Fellow in analysis, phase out the import and sale of general lighting incandescent, the promotion of energy saving lamps as the main task of the Government . Already one step ahead of local, such as Guangdong Province in 2012 and a gradual development of indoor lighting subsidies, and planning to 3% in 2015, LED lighting to account for the Guangdong indoor lighting; municipal lighting in the next two years will have more than 600,000 LED lamps for street lighting. Not long ago, LED enterprises of Foshan local country star power, snow Wright, Foshan Lighting, the United States, Europe OSRAM such as 10 has just won the local home Bo LED lighting engineering orders, the total size of 100,000 more than the purchase value is expected to more than 100 million yuan.

Market or Xianyihouyang

The data show that the 1 July 2011, China's LED industry plans to add the total investment is still huge up 125.618 billion yuan, of which more than 40 percent of the funds is to invest in a number of industry sectors, and even the whole industry chain investment. More noteworthy is that the non-LED business into the LED industry investment has accounted for more than 45% the proportion of all investment projects.

"Chinese and relevant national policy support and subsidies to many companies, the influx of LED upstream industry, resulting in the disorderly expansion of production scale; the other hand, the downstream end of the market has not yet fully open, causing the upper reaches of digestion lag slow. "Hongyan Electric public relations manager, said Chen Xin.

LED industry research institute LEDinside report shows that in 2012, due to the huge capacity of the MOCVD machine to produce chips are still not fully released, the overall industry oversupply situation will continue.

He said that in China, in the context of overcapacity, industry consolidation is inevitable. From the LED of the whole industry chain analysis of the upstream business concentration is highest, the middle reaches of the relative concentration of the downstream application market is the most decentralized.

He seems in China, thanks to a pickup in demand of LED backlight and LED lighting growth in demand, the domestic LED industry will appear in low and high momentum of development. But "production overcapacity, especially in this part of the chip overcapacity phenomenon is particularly evident in accordance with the current trend of development, at least until 2013 domestic LED production capacity to digest."

Chen Xin, expected digestion time should be closely related with the start of the application market. "With the application side of enterprises to adapt to market demand, product development, as well as the gradual decline of the manufacturing cost, the upper reaches of the accumulation of excess capacity is expected to be digested. LED downstream application market channels to get through is essential."

High cost, lack of core technology has been the bottleneck of the troubled companies. In order to win from the competition, is also the Eight Immortals, recount. Kingsun launched the business models of the factories incubation program, core lighting module + intensive supply chain + Professional solution "to the partners, the partners do not need to use the ground on the optical brand, intended to break the local protection and further reduce costs. More partners, the stronger the bargaining power of upstream.

Hongyan Electric Choice and upstream businesses in Taiwan East Tony intent to reduce costs through the integration of industrial chain; the same time, the geese and the Hangzhou Municipal Government to establish the Institute of LED technology, the intent is technically to be innovative and reduce costs. In terms of market channels, the geese want to be able to draw the traditional sales network to re-layout of the sales of LED lighting.

Upstream of new opportunities

"The current high cost of LED manufacturing as a whole. A technical R & D 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 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 R & D 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 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.

In the control area, the Chinese enterprises are still facing a strong opponent of the international. Automation giant Schneider an early solution "Intelligent Living" and "Smart City". In terms of intelligent life, Schneider said he and real estate developers, for the high-end residential buildings, the developer of intelligent life program, the lighting cost per square meter by simply adding more than 500 yuan cost and selling price can be an increase of 2000 yuan to 3000 yuan. Smart City, Schneider has jointly with the Ministry of the pilot.

In the face of new opportunities for Chinese enterprises needs to be done in order to seize.

LED lamps to the blind pursuit of longer life time

    LED lamps for its long life, and environmental protection advantages, become a popular trend of the moment lamps. Just how long the life of the LED lamps? Generally believed not fake LED life of 100,000 hours, LED made of light would be to have a certain power, the greater the power and cooling requirements of the higher, if the heat is not good, LED life is affected. Then there is the drive power supply part, and so on with the life of the LED lights. In addition also affects the quality of life, so normal in the LED lighting industry, LED life value parameter should be 30000-50000 hours. In fact, such a life already meet most lighting needs, far beyond the energy saving lamps, LED lamps of the incandescent lamp life, whether you want the blind pursuit of longer life?

Incandescent lamp life of standard definitions for 1000 hours, but for a long time occupied a civilian home lighting market, the most important reason is that the price advantage. LED lighting life have an advantage, but the price allows consumers prohibitive. I believe that LED lamps have a certain life span advantage, no need to go too much in pursuit of longer life, as necessary to the pursuit of too high light efficiency. Compared to the price of energy-saving lamps, LED lamps prices at a disadvantage, the people at home lighting in order to gain market share, reduce costs, speed up the popularization and application is king.

Recent U.S. Energy Star is being drafted to discuss the standards of the LED bulb, among the more controversial point is that life on the minimum requirements, the EPA may be consumer lamp life requirements down to a minimum of 10,000 hours from 25,000 hours, because 10,000 hours compared to three hours daily point count has more than nine years of life. The latest EPA's standard is that you can nominal life, the minimum of 10,000 hours, of course, if the test results, you can also nominal 25,000 hours or more.

The use of 9 years is enough for general home applications, hotels, subway stations, such as places of lighting required for a long time, you can use long-life LED lamps, which indicates that the EPA later no longer LED lamp life across the board, only The minimum life requirements, the lighting of different places you can demand for life lamps, reflecting differences in demand for domestic enterprises is really good, so that small businesses and large enterprises according to their own conditions, to reduce the cost of LED bulbs while different levels, but also to improve the quality of their products, accelerate product updates and promotion.

World's first high-power LED applications nylon thermal conductivity of materials

    Lamp cooling system has been to the aluminum as a material. Because the thermal conductivity is very small, the plastic can not meet the cooling requirements, it is not used in the field of LED heat.

Currently, the DSM has introduced a new conductive plastic on the basis of maintaining the advantages of plastic materials in general, increasing the thermal conductivity, so that the thermal conductivity of 10-50 times the plastic.

Under the joint efforts of Philips and DSM, the Philips MASTER LED MR16 new lighting has become the world's first high-power LED applications, the aluminum casing is replaced by a thermal conductivity of plastic Stanyl TC.

Stanyl also has to improve design flexibility, durability, and reduce the advantages of the product weight. In the future, sustainable solutions will be applied to Philips' new LED lamp series.

Philips MASTER LED MR16 is a 4 watt LED lamps, can replace the currently popular low voltage halogen lamps. Its light output with 20 watts of halogen MR16 lamps, therefore, it is the most important advantage is that you can save up to 80% energy and 40 times longer life than halogen lamps.

Metallic materials as the cooling system technology is relatively mature, but there are still some inadequacies in the plastic thermal conductivity material relative metal, there are many advantages, such as light weight, more environmentally friendly and safety, improve the design freedom, processing efficiency , boot the system to simplify.

source. The 1.5 unit difference is the level that is called a just notable difference.

The Gateway report doesn't quantify the color shift as favorable or unfavorable but simply states that curators must monitor and control the exposure of art to light to meet preservation targets. The deterioration was judged no worse than what filtered-halogen sources cause with similar lux-hour exposure.

The report did note that LEDs may offer an advantage going forward in that SSL technology can allow for a tunable spectral power distribution that could eliminate short wavelengths in the visible spectrum that are known to damage art. Of course LEDs can be specified to avoid the damaging UV and IR bands, while that requires the use of the aforementioned filter for halogen sources.

The museum did not attempt to gauge the opinion of the viewing public on the quality of the LED light. The fact that LED lights were used in the presentation was not revealed in any way.

Department heads at the Getty did tour the exhibit and judged the LED light favorably. The project team also noted that there was no lamp failure and no detected color shift in the lamps during the course of the exhibit.

BLS reports LED-T8 energy savings in New Zealand installation

Business Lighting Solutions has partnered with Schneider Electric to install led T8 tube retrofit lamps for T8 fluorescent fixtures at an Air New Zealand facility delivering more than 50% energy savings.
Business Lighting Solutions (BLS) has reported that its LED-based Ecofluro T8 tubes have been used to replace more than 2100 fluorescent tubes at an Auckland, New Zealand facility that houses Air New Zealand's engineering operations. Schneider Electric partnered with BLS on the solid-state lighting (SSL) retrofit that Schneider projects will deliver greater than 50% energy savings.

Replacing fluorescent tubes with LED-based tubes has remained a popular concept due to the sheer number of such lamps installed globally. BLS sales director Paul Stoddart said, "Fluorescent bulbs, which are used by most New Zealand businesses, contribute to around 40% of the average office power bill so by replacing them with LEDs a business can literally halve this cost."

Still, LED-based retrofit lamps haven't proven capable of producing the same level of light output that the latest fluorescent tubes produce according to numerous US Department of Energy (DOE) tests. In May 2011, the DOE published a detailed report of LED T8 tests in a typical office environment. The results found the SSL products draw less power, but also provide less light on the task plane due in part to the fact that the directional LED sources aren't a good match to the troffer fixtures designed for omnidirectional fluorescent tubes.

Photometric data

BLS published photometric data on its website that would indicate the Ecofluro tubes produce greater light output than do the products that the DOE has tested. The summary test data on the company's website is ambiguous, but the detailed report states that a single tube produces 2032 lm. That value is calculated based on intensity measured at 5° increments around the lamp. The LED T8s tested in the DOE study produced 1366 to 1539 lm.

The DOE report concluded that T8s would be a viable retrofit choice in applications where an area was overlit. When asked about the relative lighting before and after the New Zealand retrofit, BLS design and technology director Chris Wheatley said "The light projected on the working plane is +/- 2-5% depending on the color temperature and type of fitting."

BLS is also reporting significantly higher efficacy than DOE tests have documented. The photometric documents on the company's website indicate a lamp efficacy that's over 100 lm/W and system efficacy near that value with some fixtures. A look at the DOE reports show a maximum bare-lamp efficacy of 93 lm/W with significantly-lower system efficacy.

When asked if the DOE had tested BLS products, Wheatley said, "No, to our knowledge they only tested American products and we were not involved. The efficacy of the products tested that I saw were around 70 lm/W whereas we are achieving closer to 100 lm/W. Again this is referenced in the NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia) accredited photometric reports provided."

LEDs America T8s

BLS isn't the only LED T8 maker specifying better light output and efficacy than DOE test have revealed. For example, LEDs America claims that its SSL T8 tubes deliver 1400 directional lumens while consuming only 14.6W. That's close to 100 lm/W efficacy. LEDs America and its sales and distribution partner Viper Networks have announced increased production of the LED-O products over the next two quarters.

The T8-retrofit market will surely continue to draw the interest of lamp makers and electrical contractors as a significant business opportunity. Moreover, as LED T8s continue to improve, the technology could deliver significant global energy savings.
