Taiwan LED street lamp standard qualified manufacturers list will be released in the first quarter of 2009

Environmental protection and energy saving trend to accelerate the expansion of LED applications. Not only the display and lighting applications demand growth potential attention, consumer products such as toys, stationery, lamps and so on, but also let the LED industry long-term development of space full of vitality. Among them, LED lighting and traditional light source because the cost difference is still large, generally expected the popularity of LED and 2-3 in the general lighting in the gestation period, but the public works such as LED lighting lamps, in advocating energy saving policy, has been the first to start. Taiwan area "economic ministry standard inspection bureau" also on the day before the completion of the LED street lamp standards, but because the measured time up to 4000 hours, is expected to qualified manufacturers list the fastest will be released in the first quarter of 2009.

Over the past 2008 years, China has launched a number of LED energy-saving lighting demonstration project, so that the potential business opportunities LED flashing lights. Taiwan area "economic ministry standard inspection bureau" to make the government and folk purchasing LED street lamps have the basis, also with particular reference to the LED lighting standard Energy Bureau research product specification, LED road lighting technology demonstration at the main political order and the quality of research application integration plan released by the 5 industry standards, and international technical data in production, learning and research officer, all walks of life to work together, in early December 2008, CNS officially announced the 15233 LED road lighting standard.

Although part of the LED street lamp manufacturers said that the standard inspection bureau to develop standards, the requirements on the efficiency of the LED street lamp is difficult to achieve. That is, after the completion of the LED street lamp lighting (1000 hours), in the normal continuous lighting, in the next 3000 hours, the beam maintenance rate of not less than 92%, and the luminous efficiency shall not be less than the standard value of the bureau. And the characteristics of LED, but with time and temperature decay phenomenon, so how to LED street light for 4000 hours, but also maintain a certain luminous efficiency, the difficulty is.

On the other hand, manufacturers believe that, in the LED street lamp durability test, the product must be 50 degrees C + + 2 degrees C environment for continuous operation for 360 hours, after the end of the experiment to measure the luminous flux value. Test the reliability of LED street lamp in high temperature environment, is also a major test for manufacturers.

However, although the manufacturers in terms of product standards, there are many to be overcome, but the government has taken the lead in promoting energy conservation projects, so that these LED energy-saving lighting applications officially on the table. Vendors are expected, with clear business opportunities, manufacturers for the product improvement research will accelerate, equal to the edge to edge correction, will promote the use of barriers to LED street lighting acceleration is overcome, the popularity of the product will also speed up.

Among them, the Taipei municipal government selected 228 parks and surrounding roads to set up 52 LED street lamps, the original 250 mm mercury lamp for the replacement of the 125 watt LED street lamp project, has been completed in mid December 2008. The LED street lamp specifications device is made by ITRI counseling firms, the brightness, illuminance and standards are in compliance with regulations. Expected energy efficiency will be as high as 52%, cost about NT $2 million 500 thousand. In addition, the Taipei municipal government in 2009 will also be a replacement park lights 200, replaced with LED lights, is expected to cost NT $6 million.

Under the premise of the government to expand domestic demand, the rest of the counties and cities in Taiwan, recently launched a series of energy-saving lighting projects, LED street lamp replacement plan. The current "energy" has compiled the 2009 annual budget of about 2~3 million NT, the "Legislative Yuan" after laying action 2009 will start in the city of LED street. By the local government to apply for at least one lamp post height of 8 meters below the secondary roads, demonstration and promotion. Following the Taichung City in 2008 after the 5000 LED standard case, is expected in 2009 each county has bid for the opening of the LED street lamp project, will add more water to the LED industry.

LEDinside believes that although the current LED lighting accounts for only about 3% of the total global lighting market, which LED street lighting market size is limited. But on the occasion of the recession, weak demand for consumer goods, the government's public spending, indeed lit a new opportunity for the LED market. However, because the lamp standard "standard inspection bureau", must be measured more than 4000 hours, so although there have been many manufacturers have sample detection, but the fastest estimate of first quarter of 2009, will have a standard list of manufacturers.

It is worth looking forward to is the Chinese, standard LED lamp has yet to develop, LEDinside said, the standard LED street Taiwan area first to develop into, will make LED street is expected to become one of the standard reference object, Chinese, will be conducive to the Taiwan area, Chinese LED street vendors in the market, insurance business.

According to statistics, in order to road lighting specifications every 25 meters on the need for a street lamp, if all replaced by LED, Taiwan area, the number of millions of LED street lamp demand. Even considering the future of LED lighting efficiency will be gradually improved, and then take into account the cost reduction factors, Taiwan LED street lamp market as a whole is still the potential scale of 400-500 billion NT dollars.
