Foshan: LED companies to carry a large single billion yuan EMC model geometry

Yesterday, the Foshan Bureau of Chancheng by promoting an agreement with Foshan Bo, which was included in the Chancheng area 10000 billion light green lighting demonstration project". Then, the public lighting engineering home Bo, Chinese star, snow Wright, FSL, Midea, OSRAM, Zhao Kai letter, Western Europe and other 10 local enterprises with LED.

According to the president of FSL Lighting Association Wu Yulin said, home Bo its commitment to building inside and outside all adopt energy-saving LED lighting, the total size of up to 100 thousand or more, purchases is expected to more than 100 million yuan (hereinafter referred to as yuan).

Such a large-scale LED Lighting Procurement, for the first time in terms of Foshan enterprises. More critical is that the home purchase Bo reflects a kind of attitude of Party A: LED is being accepted by commercial lighting.

Relevant data show that in 2011 China's LED street market reached 2 billion 900 million yuan, an increase of 32% in 2010. In Foshan, many enterprises through the LED Street renovation project, begun to taste the sweetness.

However, just as the original energy-saving lamps, LED lighting is still the key to enter the room.

According to the survey, in 2011 China's LED indoor lighting output reached 18 billion 600 million yuan, an increase of 38%. Its forecast, in 2012 China's LED indoor lighting output value will reach 30 billion 600 million yuan, an increase of 64% in 2015 will reach $99 billion 300 million in the next 4 years, the scale of indoor lighting production compound growth rate of over 50%, reaching $52%.

In the development of strategic emerging industries in Guangdong, "12th Five-Year" plan, indoor lighting for the LED enterprises in Foshan is also of great significance. According to the plan, Foshan needs to make use of the manufacturing advantages of the lighting industry, accelerate the penetration of LED technology into the traditional lighting field, and promote the structural adjustment and industrial upgrading of the traditional lighting industry gathering area. In Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Huizhou and other neighboring cities under the common competition, the ability to seize more market share of LED interior lighting, Foshan LED companies may become the winner".

Vertical integration to reduce costs

In fact, benchmarking system for the evaluation of LED road lamps in Guangdong Province, Foshan is only partial support of several LED lamp manufacturing enterprise through the detection system and incorporated into the "Guangdong province green lighting demonstration city recommended procurement directory", means that most companies do not have the opportunity to enjoy the government welfare". And full competition, it is the biggest advantage of the indoor lighting market.

But companies in the indoor lighting market is still faltering. Guangdong lighting electrical appliance association president, said the health of the government to promote, the media also has a lot of reports, but in the terminal market, but the user pays for the LED rarely.

The price is only one of the "stumbling block". Although with the rapid development of the LED industry, production efficiency, chip luminous efficiency significantly improved, the current part of the mainland LED lamp prices have been gradually close to PHILPS, OSRAM with the specifications of the price of energy-saving lamps. But for indoor users, the price of LED lighting is still very expensive.

The positive is that the cost of a single LED chip is declining, due to the cost of material chips accounted for about 40% - 50%, 2012 LED prices are expected to decline rapidly.

For indoor lighting, a major trend is the packaging manufacturers to downstream lighting manufacturing extension, the future may be the driving power to integrate the internal production, basically have three main factors influencing the cost of LED lighting products to achieve full internal control.

China Star optoelectronics is a case. The company through investment "XURUI photoelectric", constructed from LED epitaxial chip, packaging, lighting applications R & D and production of complete LED industrial chain, through vertical integration within the enterprise and large-scale procurement of raw materials such as scale effect to significantly reduce the production cost of LED lighting products.

EMC mode is the best choice

Billion on the scale of procurement, apparently will not use cash home Bo implementation of interior LED lighting. "EMC mode is definitely a choice. Wu Yulin said.

This contract energy management model, a large number of street lamps are used in the project: the bank to pay the bill in advance, during the period of the enterprise to save electricity installments.

EMC is for LED expensive, users do not want to spend money market characteristics and application. "The longer the LED lighting, the more energy efficiency, the more obvious investment recovery, which is the characteristics of EMC. Guangdong Zhao letter, a person in charge said that for large indoor lighting procurement, EMC effect will be very obvious.

However, the current model has constraints. The key of the EMC in the street lamp project is to provide the guarantee by the government, and the LED enterprises can benefit from the energy efficiency. However, it is impossible for the government to provide guarantee for indoor commercial lighting such as stores, department stores, hotels and so on. Such problems also exist in the calculation, the appliance is equipped with a variety of family, the light ratio is very small, each user is different, ranging from electricity saving time, how much electricity cannot be calculated by the meter.

Chancheng approach is the introduction of financing Guarantee Corporation, while the government appropriate subsidies to the user security costs, or by the property company guarantees and other methods to solve the problem. This EMC deformation model has been tried in some projects.
