LED product

Since the emergence of white LED, or light-emitting principle function of whether other aspects have other traditional sources unbeatable advantage, therefore, LED lighting has become a trend in the 21st century in the field of indoor lighting, LED will replace traditional incandescent and fluorescent lamps, bedroom traditional Lighting has been facing serious challenges. Content and form of lighting design is mainly light, LED light source to promote new innovations in lighting design and development, to a large extent changed our lighting concepts, so that we can from a traditional point, line source limitations of liberation, lighting design The language and concepts can play for free and re-established fixture in the form of creative expression and visual perception have greater flexibility in space, room lighting will be more energy-efficient technology, health, art and human development.

First,The Energy Conservation

Research data show that, since the LED is cold light source, semiconductor lighting itself without any pollution to the environment, compared with incandescent, fluorescent, energy-saving efficiency can reach 90 or more. Under the same brightness, the power consumption of only ordinary incandescent lamp 1/10, fluorescent tubes 1/2. If we are to replace traditional lighting LED 50, the annual electricity savings of a sum equivalent to the Three Gorges power plant generating capacity, the energy saving benefits are substantial.

Second,The Health

LED is a green light. LED lights DC drive, no stroboscopic; no infrared and ultraviolet components, no radiation pollution, high color and has a strong directional light; good dimming performance, no visual error when changing the color temperature; cold light hair low heat, safe touch; these are incandescent and fluorescent unattainable. It can provide a comfortable space for illumination, but also good to meet people's physical health needs, is to protect the environmental health of vision and light.

Due to the current single LED power is small, the brightness is low, should not be used alone, but together multiple LED assembly designed to be practical LED lighting will have broad application prospects. Lighting fixture according to the object and the designer needs flux, the optical system determines the shape of lamp, LED number and size of power; can also be designed a number of LED light emitting tube are combined into a secondary light source, a surface light source or a light ring The combination according to design into a secondary light source lamp.

Third,Art

Light colors are basic elements of visual aesthetics, is an important means to beautify bedroom. Selection of the light source directly affect artistic effect lighting, LED lighting in the art of light and color display shows the unique advantage;currently color LED products have covered the entire visible spectral range, and good color, high color purity, red, green , the combination of yellow and gray color LED enables (16.7 million colors) choices with greater flexibility. Lamps are glowing sculpture, lighting material form by the material, structure, shape and texture are also constructed an important means of showing art. LED technology makes the lamp room will be better scientific and artistic combine, breaking the confines of traditional lamps Collage, beyond the concept inherent in the so-called form of lamps, lighting design creative expression in the arts visual perception and form, with a new perspective to know, understand and express the theme of light. We can be more flexible in the use of optical technology mix of light and dark, light and color combination, materials, structural design advantages, improve the design freedom to weaken the lamp lighting feature that allows the lamp to become a visual art, to create a comfortable and beautiful lighting artistic effect. Synthetic materials such as translucent and is similar to aluminum candle LED lights, can easily rest on the floor, wall or table, the idea is simple and easy form to convey the visual experience and the light of experience, so that the lamp becomes full of fun and vitality beings.

Fourth,Humane

Needless to say, the relationship between light and people is an eternal topic, people see the light, I saw the light, it is the classic phrase discourse has changed countless designer lamps understanding. The highest level of shadowless lamp is also the highest expression of humanity lighting, the room does not have any traces of common lamps, so that people can feel but can not find the light source, the light of human life embodies the perfect combination of user-friendly design.

LED light fixtures small size, can choose different colors of LED light combined into a soft illumination of various modules, any installation in the living room, bedroom lighting source may come from the floor, walls, window sills, furniture, accessories, etc. Therefore, the future will no longer be confined to a single room lighting fixtures, and will be converted to a single lighting without a sense of the overall lighting shadowless lighting effects. Different light color and brightness of human physiology and psychology can produce different effects, in many cases, people do not need a very bright white, yellow or other colors may be more suitable for light physical and psychological needs. Tricolor LED brightness can be achieved, grayscale, and color selection of continuous transformation, so that the white light from the general sense of expansion for a plurality of colors.

Therefore, it can be set based on the overall lighting needs (such as color, temperature, brightness and orientation) lighting effects to achieve humane intelligent control, interior lighting to create different effects. Even the living room ceiling and only LED light-emitting walls, it can also be based on the requirements of each scene, as well as on the environment and different understanding of life, in a different space and time to select and control the brightness of the light changes grayscale, color to simulate a variety of light conditions to guide and improve mood, reflecting the more humane lighting environment.

Bright LED Lighting Industry Development Prospects Conceal Defects

LED lighting

Some people think that LED lighting in the domestic market has not really started , the frenetic development will advance the future production capacity and market . While LED lighting industry usher in rapid development Chunchao like when it appears a lot of controversy about the overheated investment emerged . Is the prospect of unlimited or difficult ? Chinese LED lighting industry, what opportunities and challenges facing exactly ?

"Unlimited prospects ,"Cited Profit-Driven Enterprise

"In the same lighting effects , semiconductor lighting (LED) than traditional energy sources more than 80% , more than 10 times longer than traditional light long ." In Nanchang Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone , LatticePower Lupo , Executive Vice President, took the a semiconductor blue light -emitting told reporters .

As the world watched a new generation of green light , LED with its high brightness, low heat, long life and other advantages , to be known as the 21st century 's most developed green lighting. At present , China has been included in the long-term semiconductor LED lighting technology development plan , has now formed epitaxial wafers , chip preparation , package integration , LED application industry chain.

Vice-Chancellor of Nanchang University Jiang Fengyi that from last year , LED lighting industry began to appear from upstream to downstream trot development of the situation in the first half of this year reached blowout status . According to statistics, in 2009 , China's LED lighting industry , with nearly 60 upstream , midstream device packaging business has more than 1,000 , more than 2,000 enterprises downstream applications , employed more than 800,000 people . 2009 River semiconductor lighting industry output value of 82.7 billion yuan .

Institute of Engineering LED industry research report today , LED lighting has become the LED backlight market beyond the fastest growing application market . By 2015 , LED lighting market value of the domestic penetration will reach 1/4.

Fanaticism Development Exposure Industry Defects

Despite market expectations so high, but at this stage , due to the blind development of China 's LED lighting industry exposes a lack of core technology , lack of innovation, disorderly market competition and other issues.

"For value , the stage LED lighting market penetration in the country is only 5% , core technologies rely on imports , higher overall costs become an obstacle to the further development of the LED industry stumbling block ." Dr. LED Industry Institute of Engineering Xiaofei said.

It is understood , LED upstream chip production technologies are mainly in the hands of foreign companies , technology localization process is slow , affecting the development of the industry . MOCVD epitaxial furnace and its associated supporting technology is the most high-end LED industry chain , mainly dependent on imports, which greatly restricted the cost control LED upstream industry .

" On the whole level , China is still a gap with the world-class level for about two years ." Jiang Fengyi that " many of the world developed and developing countries or regions are accelerating the development of semiconductor lighting technology and industry, the technology on China in the second echelon . "

" If we do not regulate the market , the future will likely be reduced to make the wedding dress for foreign lighting giant proportions ." Jiang Fengyi said.

The Industry Appealed to Industry Standards

With the continued growth in production and daily life , such as a city street lighting , lighting electricity consumption in the power position in the increasingly prominent. According to statistics , China's lighting electricity consumption accounts for more than 12% of the country's total electricity consumption , and an average annual increase rate of 15% . As alternatives to incandescent energy saving lighting products market is ushering good opportunity.

For the healthy and orderly development of LED lighting industry , many experts recommend strengthening the overall guidance of national planning for local LED industry , the introduction of enforceable national industry standards as soon as possible , especially in industry standard demonstration project related products , such as street lamps, tunnel lights, display , landscape , so that local governments and businesses purchase standard products are based.

Meanwhile, as soon as the introduction of relevant supporting policies , strengthen and standardize the testing agencies to establish , to avoid some of the test results do not match the actual improve the overall level of detection and credibility.

Many experts believe that the core of the early realization of semiconductor lighting localization of MOCVD equipment , high-end equipment to fundamentally change the subject of the human situation, China's semiconductor lighting to promote strategic emerging industries , rapid and healthy and sustainable development. Meanwhile, the increasingly fierce market competition , strengthening the next generation of semiconductor lighting technology research and development work without delay.
