Looking forward to the advent of LED lighting "civilian price" era

LED home lighting energy saving trend

Compared with traditional light sources, LED lamps save 80% energy compared to energy-saving lamps. It is understood that a 5-watt home LED spherical bulb can replace an 11-watt energy-saving lamp, a 90-watt LED street lighting equivalent to a 250-watt high pressure sodium lamp. As we all know, energy-saving lamps replace traditional incandescent lamps with their lower energy consumption, longer life, and better light efficiency.

However, it is not well known that, depending on the needs of the process, the energy-saving lamp tube contains heavy metal mercury. Once the lamp tube is damaged, the mercury enters the environment, causing harm to the environment and the human body. The LED light does not have mercury pollution like the energy-saving lamp, does not pollute the soil and groundwater, and is in line with the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection.

LED light source has the advantage of long life, can use 25000 hours, the brightness after light decay can still reach the light efficiency of the traditional new lamp. And home LED lamps without flash, no radiation, lead-free, mercury-free. According to one user, the large living room of more than 40 square meters in his house only installed 8 盏 5 W LED lights, which made the entire house transparent.

The biggest obstacle for LED lighting to open up in the civilian market is that it is higher than the price people can afford.

Wang Xiwei, assistant general manager of Epistar Optoelectronics Co., Ltd., once stated: “The biggest challenge encountered in the current popularity of LED lighting is price pressure, followed by the power consumption ratio (lm/W) per unit lumen (unit of luminous flux). From chip to package, various measures must be taken, such as adding red crystal powder, developing high-voltage LEDs, etc., in order to achieve the purpose of reducing costs.” He predicted that high-voltage LEDs will gradually become the mainstream of the market in the future, currently 75W and 100W lighting Alternatives to the product will also be launched. The price issue that has hindered LED lighting products from entering the general lighting field is expected to be resolved within the next five years.

The media industry has discussed the LED will fly into the homes of ordinary people in the next five years. Most insiders said that considering the civilian market, it should be after 2015.

LED Household Lighting Meets Vientiane

1. LED lighting lamps look forward to the "civilian price" era of a 1.2-meter-long LED lamp, retail price of nearly 200 yuan. The same traditional fluorescent tube is less than 10 yuan. Although LED lamps are so energy-efficient, they are environmentally friendly and have a long service life. With short-term immediate benefits, consumers still choose to live at a low cost of living. High prices have become the main culprit for LED's entry into the civilian population.

Some experts analyzed that as the technology matures, the cost of LED lighting will continue to decrease within 3 to 5 years, reaching the “consumer price” acceptable to ordinary consumers, which means that the price of ordinary household LED lamps will only drop to 40-60. Yuan, truly achieved popularity in the household sector. 40-60 yuan! Will this be a reasonable price for ordinary household LED lamps? Not only the price is high, but LED home lighting will be popularized. How many setbacks will still be encountered?

2. LED desk lamp blue light components more disadvantageous vision LED desk lamp is an extensive market for home lighting, but not long ago, when a woman in the election of the lamp, the LED lamp has concerns, she said: "If you buy a reading for my son In the case of the light, I will not buy LED." And for the exclusion of LED lights, is it really so unattractive? Zhang Shanduan, deputy director of the Institute of Electric Light Sources at Fudan University, said that unless it is a product from a large company and has been internationally certified, many LED's currently work on the principle of light and do not fit into a desk lamp. "The blue light component of LED light is relatively large and it is not good for eyesight. ". LED decorative lights look beautiful, but as a table lamp is not good for vision. The lamp application market is yet to grow.

Naturally, the cheaper the price of civilian products, the better, but the performance can never be high. It's just a desire to be both cheap and high-performance. As with all other products, LED lighting products will inevitably be divided into various grades according to the price level.

3. Encountered by shoddy products, consumers are miserable. LED lamps are expensive. On Taobao, there are LED lamps with 40-60 bucks. Consumers can't avoid the mentality of cheaper maps. However, how is quality? Whether it is inexpensive or not, as you wish? A victim who has suffered a bad product has reluctantly stated: “I used it once and my colleagues used it once. The brand is a relatively good domestic product. I installed it and turned on the switch. The family asked, "This is a one-time flash? ”

"A LED energy-saving lamp can achieve 50% to 80% of energy-saving effects, of which 30% of the gap from the quality of the product." Ke Rui, the vice president of Ke Rui has said that at present there are many companies that claim to be able to do LED lights, technology level is uneven Misalignment has led to chaos in the industry, greatly affecting the quality and credibility of LED lights, and weakening the confidence of users. “A lot of new product development history shows that any inferior product may drag the entire industry. Therefore, in the development of LED, we must pay great attention to the high quality performance of the product.”

One LED lighting manufacturer frankly stated that even if a business advertises “can save energy by 80%”, it does not mean that the LED lighting quality of his home is the best. “It may be energy-saving, but it can not reach the lighting brightness required by customers. After the customer needs the brightness of the lighting, he cannot achieve the goal of saving energy by 80%.”
