LED lighting market faces multiple challenges price channels

Currently, almost every industry is trying to cut energy costs, the demand for LED technology has become one of the fastest growing in recent years and the development of the field, and this trend is particularly prominent in the Asia Pacific region. The Asia Pacific region's surge in demand for cutting-edge LED technologies, especially the solar market. According to a recent report Frost&Sullivan, LED lighting has begun to dominate the lighting market, and will gradually replace the old high energy consuming products.

LED lighting has a very important advantage

Compared with traditional products, LED lighting has many important advantages, its lower operating costs, longer service life, and therefore more expensive maintenance costs. At present, the main factor driving the LED market is efficiency and a series of LED lighting technology. If the LED lighting lacks proper power supply and control technology, it will not be able to achieve its energy saving and environmental protection characteristics.

With the rapid development of LED lighting technology, some of the ongoing projects will last for three years, which has a subtle dynamic relationship between the current and future potential. Of course, there is another side: technology progress will increase in cost and BOM also develops fast, which means that a good idea has project Creative Lighting Design Engineer may find that he can achieve better results than the original design, which may reduce project cost and save energy saving installation time. As a result, although some companies are leading in the field, but also do not fully grasp the potential of the technology used in the design of the project.

In the Chinese market, the industry is trying to deal with the challenges of price, brand, retail channels and related regulations. Manufacturers have turned to COB design and quality improvement in order to overcome the price challenge and prove its value. We also see a trend that local manufacturers are exiting the market. In addition, in Chinese, manufacturers are faced with rare earth export quotas, and because many for containing some rare earth elements, phosphor LED therefore, whether the use of these materials is currently the Chinese supplier concerns.

There is an area where LED lighting has made real progress, that is, solar and off grid applications, LED lighting can provide more capacity for those that are not suitable for traditional technology or batteries in the field. One of the typical off grid applications is the LED lantern, which is very popular in places such as India, where it is still a luxury for most of India's land. In addition, solar LED applications are also a very interesting application, such as solar street lamps, compared with solid-state lighting, it involves a wider range of technologies. There are also some key design issues to be addressed, such as how to generate the maximum power of the solar panels, how to charge the battery to conserve energy, and how to drive up to LED in an outdoor environment.
