Incandescent light bulbs to start the following LED business opportunities 10W

Facing the global climate change and rising energy prices, governments have begun to put some energy intensive products as the primary object of disabled, such as the incandescent light bulb is the most obvious case. Incandescent bulbs from the European Union and Japan began to disable the first fermentation, then the government has begun to follow up. From countries to disable incandescent bulbs to observe the timetable, ledinside said that after 2012, the majority of countries began to gradually disable incandescent bulbs, but also to bring huge business opportunities for LED lighting.

Lighting power consumption accounted for over 19% of the world

In stage lighting the world's total electricity consumption amounted to 19%, total energy consumption reached 2651TWH. if the current source is expected to be replaced with energy-saving light source, can save 30% energy consumption. If the further energy saving light source and sensors, smart grid and other related applications, is expected to save 30% of energy consumption. If you can save 50% of energy consumption by 2030, equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 2 billion barrels of oil.

The emergence of 10W following LED lighting business opportunities

Since the government is committed to the promotion of energy saving policy, coupled with the decreasing cost of LED lighting, help motivate such opportunities, research firm LEDinside said, with disable incandescent bulbs, the emergence of 10W following LED lighting business, various lighting manufacturers have cut prices to attack every year nearly 20 billion stars of the incandescent light bulb business.

However, due to the use of electricity and habits of different countries so the popularity rate of LED lighting will have a large degree of gap. With the highest electricity in Germany and Japan as an example, although the LED bulb retail price is high, but with the use of electricity to save the life through prolonged, high retail prices will offset the problems in these areas, so the consumer acceptance for LED lighting is relatively high.

Especially in Japan, the Japanese government in 1997 signed the Kyoto Protocol, the goal is to reduce in 2012 compared to 1990 nearly 3 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. The Japanese government in order to catch up with the original commitment to the Kyoto Protocol, the introduction of a series of subsidies. For example, if the use of LED lighting business users, will give a certain degree of subsidies. As 2012 approaches, the demand for LED bulbs to replace incandescent bulbs will emerge.

Traditional fluorescent bulbs challenge, LED bulb price remains to be improved

Although incandescent bulbs from the market, giving LED lighting huge growth space. But the big problem for LED lighting is to compete with the traditional fluorescent bulbs. At this stage, whether it is luminous efficiency or retail price, LED bulb is still difficult to challenge the traditional fluorescent bulbs. Therefore, in marketing, or to use life, save electricity, mercury and other issues as the main demands.

To 7W LED bulb for example, at the beginning of 2009, a 7WLED lighting cost nearly $15 to $20, most of the retail price of more than $50 in. However, with the reduction in the cost of LED, the current cost of 7WLED bulbs dropped to about 12 U.S. dollars. Retail prices are down to $30. With the decline in the cost of LED bulbs, LED bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs, the more obvious advantages.

But with the traditional fluorescent lamp LED lighting price competition, there is still room for improvement. At the same time, the retail price difference between the LED bulbs and fluorescent bulbs of the same brightness has shrunk from 20 times in early 2009 to about 12 times. With the development of technology in the future, whether it is the improvement of luminous efficiency of LED, or the price of power related components. The cost of LED bulbs has a further chance of falling. According to DOE's plan, after 2015, the cost of LED lighting has the opportunity to substantially close to the traditional fluorescent bulbs.
