LED Lighting: The Rise of Asia

The LED lighting source continues to erode the fluorescent lamp market. Lin Zhixun, head of the Energy Research Group at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), pointed out yesterday (31st) that it is estimated that by 2017, the global LED lighting market size will reach 54.5 billion yuan, with a penetration rate of 48% in the overall lighting market. Moreover, Asia has become the focus of production and consumption, with Mainland China likely to replace Western Europe as the largest application market for LED lighting in 2016. Lin Zhixun noted that through government policy support and rapid price declines of products, the global demand for LED lighting is growing rapidly, and it is estimated that the global LED lighting market size will grow to 27 billion yuan in 2013.

LED lights will surely illuminate thousands of homes.

Starting from October 1, 2012, our country will prohibit the import and sale of ordinary incandescent bulbs over 100 watts, which is undoubtedly good news for the entry of LED products into the consumer market. At the Guangzhou Lighting Exhibition in June, the pace of research and development for LED consumer products accelerated sharply, resulting in a richer variety of product applications. Although the exhibition mainly showcased commercial lighting, many companies also launched home LED product lines. These new products each focus on different functions, including cool light and warm light, with some even allowing for color adjustment. Unlike the relatively high-end products created in the past, this year manufacturers began to aim for...

Guangdong promotes LED lighting; do not view the policy significance narrowly.

Road lighting systems, night scene landscape lighting systems, and others are all indispensable important infrastructures. With the acceleration of urbanization, more and more cities, and even towns, are placing great importance not only on the functional requirements of street lights and landscape lights but also on their decorative lighting. However, while urban lighting systems bring convenience to people's lives, they also consume a large amount of electrical energy. Urbanization has not only increased the demand for lighting but also brought greater pressure. Energy-saving, low-carbon, green lighting, and sustainable lighting... all of these are the directions sought for the development of the lighting industry today. This was on May 23 of this year.

Buy LED lights for free.

The Guangdong Provincial Government has issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the Use of LED Lighting Products in Guangdong Province," requiring that all public lighting projects funded by government finances or state-owned capital must use LED lighting products. A large supermarket in Foshan has also completely replaced its underground parking lot lighting system with LED lights. Surprisingly, the property management company overseeing the parking lot did not spend a single penny. Foshan is promoting the municipal and commercial application of LED lighting through the EMC (Energy Management Contracting) model, while also integrating the production capabilities of the LED industry chain to reduce production costs and accelerate market penetration.

The recycling channels are scarce, and over 100 million energy-saving lamps in our country pose pollution risks.

With the rapid development of the economy, the speed of electronic waste generation in our country has been astonishing in recent years. According to a report released by the United Nations Environment Programme in 2010, our country has become the second largest producer of electronic waste in the world, generating over 2.3 million tons of electronic waste each year, second only to the United States, which produces 3 million tons. By 2020, the number of discarded computers in our country is expected to double or triple compared to 2007, and discarded mobile phones will increase sevenfold. During the recycling and comprehensive utilization of electronic waste, there are varying degrees of environmental pollution and harm to human health, which urgently needs to be addressed. Due to the national promotion of the "Green Lighting" project, our country has...

The Development of Semiconductor LED Lighting Fixtures (2)

The future development trends of LED technology LEDs are compact, lightweight, operate at low driving voltages, offer full color, have long lifespans, high efficiency, are vibration-resistant, and are easy to control in terms of light output. These characteristics provide excellent conditions for designing lighting systems for various locations and purposes. People are accustomed to seeing things in sunlight, and for general lighting, the primary requirement is a light source that closely resembles the quality of sunlight. Therefore, white light LEDs are an important indicator of semiconductor lighting technology. Due to the low power and brightness of a single LED, they are not suitable for standalone use; thus, multiple LEDs must be assembled together to design practical LED lighting systems. However, currently, white light LEDs and...

The Development of Semiconductor LED Lighting Fixtures (1)

LED (Light Emitting Diode), also known as a light-emitting diode, is a type of solid-state semiconductor device that can directly convert electricity into light. The birth of the white LED in 1996 marked a further acceleration in the evolution of light. Looking back at the history of lamp development, there have been significant inventions approximately every 60 years since the advent of gas lamps in the 1810s. The incandescent lamp was invented in 1879, followed by the fluorescent lamp, which became common in 1938, and then the prototype of modern LED lighting, the white LED, was born in 1996. Reviewing the history of LEDs, deep red and yellow-green LEDs were developed in the 1960s.

What is the luminous flux of a fluorescent lamp?

It is well known that prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation can kill a large number of human cells. However, how many people are aware that ordinary energy-saving lamps and fluorescent lights emit invisible ultraviolet rays, and how many know the extent of the harm they can cause to the human body? American biochemist Anderson discovered that people who live or work under fluorescent lights for extended periods receive 50% more ultraviolet radiation than those who are not frequently exposed to fluorescent lighting, and their chances of developing skin cancer are significantly higher than those of the general population.
