Intelligent dimming add new value of LED lighting applications

According to the forecast research institutions, the period from 2012 to 2016, shipments of LED bulbs will be 57% compound annual growth rate of rapid increase, in 2016 the global solid state lighting LED lighting shipments are expected to reach about 2 billion 600 million, to 2020 will reach 4 billion 800 million scale. Solid state lighting LED bulb shipments are expected to accelerate growth, however, the rapid development of the market at the same time, now the LED lighting industry is positive.

2014 is a very important year for the LED lighting industry. From this year, Europe and the United States officially eliminated in the civilian market in the largest amount of 40~60W incandescent bulb, which provides an opportunity for the application of LED lighting in the general consumer market, but also makes LED to replace the light bulb into a breakdown current hot market.

Solid state lighting LED lighting shipments are expected to accelerate growth however, rapid development in the market at the same time, LED lighting industry is now facing a common problem: how to reduce the cost of the system at the same time, improve the use value of the product. On the one hand, to enter the civilian market is more broad, LED lamps in the target price fell rapidly in recent years, the products towards integration into the higher; on the other hand, with the LED lighting market gradually around a large supplier integration, the market value of the lighting in more strict charge use requirements, product reliability, service life, has become the primary consideration and performance in terms of environmental protection and energy saving, intelligent control etc..

Intelligent dimming add new value of LED lighting applications

Especially in the LED lamp dimming function demand, an important feature of the development of the market is no longer just light in order to achieve the goal of energy saving, but more is reflected in people's quality of life gradually improved, therefore, the smooth dimming performance, wireless dimming function, and multiple sensor integrated linkage, for the use value of LED lighting market in the people's livelihood big plus. Intelligent driving, adapt to a wide range of working environment in general lighting applications, LED lamps to replace incandescent lamps to light with the Triac, so that one can adjust the brightness according to actual lighting requirements, thereby saving energy consumption; on the other hand, can create various lighting atmosphere and situation for the application of Home Furnishing or business.

For color lighting applications, such as building lighting and stage lighting, etc., can be achieved through the PWM dimming to achieve a variety of color LED lamp modulation. Three end triac dimmer with front and back edges and digital dimmer, TRIAC sinusoidal AC voltage is provided for the LED light cycle chopper driver, so the driver must put the chip into LED AC chopper power supply can be used. In addition, the lights in the light of the process of 'flashing' problem is also often encountered in the design of the lamp manufacturers.

Talking about the development trend of current LED lamps in the dimming performance, improve the level of intelligent driver level, will add more value in light output, this is also the import model has enhanced the good opportunity control function of products. Those with a dimming circuit, more excellent and can be compatible with new products will achieve significant market position and more controllable silicon, because the market will require products can support more customers to a wide range of working conditions or the environment, in order to achieve the design quickly and easily, and can be transplanted to different lighting design the products, assist lighting engineers to improve work efficiency, shorten the time to market.
