Energy saving potential of DOE prediction in LED lighting applications

[LED] China reported that the United States Department of energy (DOE) recently released a report entitled "LED in general lighting applications," the report. This report not only estimates the 2014 LED in the top 10 lighting applications in energy efficiency, but also estimates these lighting applications fully use LED products energy saving potential.

According to the report, due to the use of LED light source, energy saving for the 2014 143 trillion British thermal units (equivalent to the cost savings of about $1 billion 400 million), but if all applications in the night lighting products are replaced by LED light source, will save nearly 4896 trillion British thermal units (equivalent to the cost saving $49 billion).

2012-2014, LED installed capacity in all applications increased, the overall increase of more than four times to 2 million 150 thousand, but the market penetration is still small, up to 3%. Small directional LED light source is still the market leader in the market, from 10% in 2012 to 2014, an increase of 22%, growth or slowdown in the next few years. 2014, LED light source accounted for 10% of outdoor applications market share, accounting for indoor application market share of $2.8%.

The report also pointed out that, on the whole LED cumulative installation situation, 88% of indoor, outdoor accounted for 8%, other applications accounted for 4%. Among them, A lamp, directional light source products and lamps installed the highest, the former accounted for 36% of the total installed capacity, the latter accounted for 31%.

Due to the improvement in performance, in the important commercial and industrial applications, LED products have been able to successfully compete against the existing traditional light source products, LED products accounted for 1.3% of linear lamps, in the low Bay / high shelf applications accounted for 2.2%.
