Electronics industry has led fluorescent tube for building an important stage, and almost every home and business applications to prepare rich products. LED benefits not only got widely publicized, and its higher efficiency and longer product life, lower cost and environmental protection performance have been confirmed. LED lighting is ready. Then LED lighting will walk into ordinary people?
Although we often can see led to new use, but for general lighting applications LED seems to have perfect. Of course, in brightness and efficiency and improve space, but in a large sense, in addition to business and special effects outside lighting, LED has reached the highest level of development? "In suitable for standard A19 bulb package size of ordinary LED indoor light popular before each LMW number still needs to be further improved.
On the other hand, "in general, the LED lighting market is still in the stage of cultivation. Does have some special LED application in some industry analysts appear to have mature, however, most of the market is still has many open possibility. .
"In it at the highest level before we still have a lot of work to do. Most of the products are very good, in general lighting and color quality can provide consumers with incandescent lamp similar experience, and low power consumption than. This is enough to cause people to the LED lighting interest. But there is still room to improve."
"The key design breakthrough will come from the most cost effective way to simple light bulb replacement increase communication and the intelligence function, including intelligent occupied detection, color adjustment, remote control and can through the Internet access wireless or wired technology, etc.
Therefore, in the solid state lighting (SSL) frontier areas we still have not reached the highest level of development, there are still the improvement and the innovation space. "When people mention SSL, they always think only of LED, and only a single element.
"In general luminous system still have a lot of work to do, including optical structure, integration, power distribution, control and communication, etc., and the key is the person's factor, should understand luminous system not only the light bulb, the key is the light output.
"General lighting: we are in the early stages of LED explosive growth,", "consumer product in the continuous improvement, that is to say, each tile lumen number, CRI (dyeing index), cost and manufacturing alternative will likely to be the most active field."
SSL technology development obstacles
led fluorescent lights is more efficient. So can reduce electricity. Due to the LED have a very long life, so through the long-term operation but also look cheap. SSL can achieve the traditional incandescent lamp and cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCF) the brightness of the lighting, or even higher, but also can dimmer.
So, most consumers to all LED lighting biggest obstacle? Almost everybody agrees that cost is the biggest obstacle to SSL gained popularity. In the front end market, LED lighting is not cheap.
"For most consumers, the main obstacle or price." "In the traditional light bulb just a few dollars, consumers are not willing to spend in LED lights twenty to thirty dollars. Even if the electricity is high, most consumers are reluctant to make LED lighting initial cost investment." In addition to the price, there are some other interesting factors hindering the SSL technology development.
"For the majority of consumers of the biggest obstacles is undoubtedly the price." However, the lack of standardization and early product suspects quality such as shadow at your feet. The more deadly of all. The LED is an electronic product, and lighting has been belonging to the electric field. This will be in the design of lamps and lanterns and buy lamps and lanterns between produce considerable knowledge gap. The main problem is always such a fact: a LED bulb will inevitably be a replacement than replace the light bulb is much more expensive. Other than the hindering factors related to the electric light bulb light performance, including adjustable light ability, color temperature, or LED emitted light white degree, relative light bulb glow quantity, and the light can efficient and evenly distributed, and do not produce dark area or strange pattern. Often mentioned LED popularity obstacle is the price. Consumers still have a discard psychology. They hope to incandescent lamp and CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) of the same price to buy a better light source. It is difficult to understand consumer SSL returns and long life advantages, in general still don't understand what LED lighting can provide. Cultivate public awareness and make sure we don't fall into the trap CFL (a kind of reliability is very poor light source) is the key, and the reliability and good returns evidence to show out
In addition to the cost, some other possible sources of obstacles. Knowledge can also cause a few obstacles, because consumers generally not familiar with SSL technology. Wrong feeling is also a problem. Cheap, low performance products have entered the market, and damage to the LED the reputation of our products. For example, LED traffic signal is one of the most significant LED applications, but its reliability played very badly.
Summary LED manufacturer's point of view, it can be found that the SSL biggest obstacle is the price, consumers consciousness and related knowledge, and evidence of reliability. If according to the solution to these problems is in development, so when we can see LED widely popular?
LED lighting market are ready
The advent of led replacement for fluorescent has been a long period of time, so how to SSL promotion into every family? Maybe a little bit of government strong support, such as the federal communications commission formed to promote public digital TV like that? What LED to completely as the main light source?
If there are no government compulsory measures or push, the popularity of SSL lighting is very slow, to completely replace degree may want to use for ten to twenty years. The government has in energy saving through legislation affects the market. This means that replacement actually has started. In better standardization or government push before, the general public can't completely support the technology.
When it comes to completely turn to SSL, cost is an overwhelming factor. For the consumer, digital TV cost has dropped to a level with analog TV. Also, the cost of LED lights also must be reduced to an incandescent lamp and the same or a little higher. LED light source due to the relatively high cost, it may be necessary to through the banned incandescent lamp to promote the popularity of SSL. "I estimate in the next ten years LED will become the main source for general application. In addition to cost and the government compulsory measures outside, when general lighting market areas of lighting solutions focus on standard not custom solutions, LED will bear protagonist. Now the market is ready. So when the answer for popularization in the application for each user to find the correct solution of LED.
