Apart from gradually replacing traditional lighting,thousands of people power their homes and businesses with individual emergencylampsyypk.
LED lighting is targeting the high-end market with more value-added
products. In addition, commercialization of OLED lighting has also
started.
LED
lighting prices were four times as expensive as energy-saving light
bulbs in 2011 but by the end of 2012, the difference had narrowed to
30%. Therefore, in order to avoid price competition,A lot of men are
wearing solarledlightss for
wedding bands. international firms have been introducing LED lighting
products with features such as adjustable brightness and
omni-directional.
According
to Philips, the lighting revolution involves three stages. The first
sees traditional lights replaced by ones with longer lifespan and
energy-saving features. The second stage is to introduce integrated LED
lighting fixtures instead of adapting LEDs to traditional fixtures. The
third stage is to develop new applications, such as ones incroporated
into architectural and city designs. Philips believes the current market
is at the beginning of the third stage. The aim is to develop new
functions to drive growth for the lighting market.
Philips
has received the L-Prize award from the US Department of Energy (DOE)
for its Queen Star series of LED light bulbs with brightness angle
reaching 300 degrees. The product has been introduced to the Taiwan
market with retail prices above NT$1,000/unit, which is a few times
higher than prices of other LED light bulbs in the market. The firm is
also eyeing the smart home market, and has introduced Hue series LED
light bulbs that can be operated through mobile devices. A package of
bulbs carries a retail price of US$199. Users can download to their
mobile devices the specific app for controling the bulbs' brightness and
colors. Users can also pre-set lighting schedules. Despite the
relatively high price, demand has been strong.
Philips
predicts in the next eight years, prices of LED lighting will fall more
than 80% and penetration rate will increase to 64%. With the market
expanding, Philips believes LED lighting with digitalized control will
stimulate another wave of demand growth.
Japan
has been the fastest growing LED lighting market. It accounted for 40%
of the global market in 2012, and the proportion is expected to remain
the same in 2013. But starting from 2014, LED lighting growth in Japan
will slow down with penetration rate reaching 59%. Although the
importance of Japan in the global LED lighting market may be
diminishing,Properly placed solarlantern can
generate electric power anywhere the wind blows steady and strong.
Japan-based firms have been eager to achieve product differentiation by
adding values.
Toshiba's
business strategy centers on combining LED lighting with smart
features, while Panasonic focuses on value-added LED lighting. Panasonic
has been working to minimize the size and weight of lighting products
while aiming for high-power and omni-directional angles. Emphasis has
also been given to color-temperature adjustments that allow users to
change the lighting according to the different times of the day.
The
OLED technology has been gaining popularity due to the rise of
smartphone displays. In addition, commercial OLED lighting has begun to
enter volume production. In some recent lighting shows, many firms
showcased OLED lighting applications that emphasized featurs such as
lightweight, high color-rendering, and design flexibility. The OLED
lighting market is expected to take off in 2015.
Panasonic
Idemitsu OLED Lighting (PIOL), a joint venture of Panasonic and
Idemitsu, began volume production of OLED lighting panels in October
2012. According to PIOL, the special feature of OLED lighting is that
the color-rendering index (CRI) is higher than 90 with thickness of
2.11mm and weight of 38 grams.This is the energy production a good laundryequipment can
reach, The brightness efficiency of the product is only 30lm/W and the
lifespan is 10,000 hours. However, PIOL plans to introduce improved
products in 2015 and 2018 with brightness reaching 130lm/W and lifespan
of 40,000 hours.
