LED lighting show

In the just concluded last week, the New York International Lighting Exhibition, light-emitting diode (LED) lamps is the most dazzling exhibitors this year, almost all booths are on display the latest products, which highlights the LED lighting is about to become the mainstream market.

Most people think that LED is only a small lamp in the electronic device, to avoid its wide range of lighting purposes, but still very few consumers to buy LED lights. In 2012, the United States will gradually ban the use of traditional light bulbs and switch to new bulbs that are 30% times more efficient than incandescent bulbs, but only about 78% of Americans do not know the rules.

Compact fluorescent lamps sold by the current market (compact fluorescent) to comply with the new standards, but the industry also actively promote LED lighting, LED fluorescent lamp is not durable, low power consumption, but also can be made into various shapes and sizes. In addition, LED does not use mercury, can be operated at low temperatures, lighting quality is better than fluorescent lamps.

Manufacturers display all kinds of LED lights, can be used in large warehouses, garages, streets, kitchen and office lighting; as well as elastic LED band, and can replace halogen reflector LED.

SIEMENS's OSRAM Sylvania launched a strip of elastic LED lights, can be used for traditional lighting can not be installed. The company will also launch a 6 watt bulb, which will last for up to 25 thousand hours a year, to replace a normally used, durable, 1500 Watt incandescent bulb for a period of up to 15 hours.

Osram, lighting science company and PHILPS, will also launch the appearance of the same as traditional bulbs and LED bulbs, only 8 watts of electricity can reach the brightness of 40 watts of traditional bulbs.

The industry is committed to the production of brightness equivalent to 60 or 75 watt incandescent bulb LED. LED, the leading manufacturer of CREE, has a new 6.5 watt light bulb this year, which is more energy efficient than last year's $11, and is capable of lighting up a standard 65 watt bulb.

However, many evaded LED products are compact fluorescent bulbs will still be the first choice for consumers in the next few years, the main reason is the LED price is too high (equivalent brightness of traditional 40 watt bulb LED bulb price of more than $20), and the production of high brightness LED lamp is difficult.

The bulbs are expected to be much higher in the future than the old LED bulbs. Osram Sylvania running long Gela Beck said: "the price of light bulbs will no longer be $1.25, but will increase to $10 to $20. With the gradual improvement of LED energy efficiency, he believes consumers will switch to low power consumption of LED lamps. , our company expanded business into more than 20 countries. our has
