White LED challenge fluorescent lighting market position

Lamp manufacturers initially on LED in now has turned into a real business value. "My market is growing rapidly," said Ian Bryant, a business development manager at Carclo in Burke county. "The white light market has begun to change. "Carclo company to manufacture the 'lens' for the industry, which is a kind of LED scattering light into the light of the need for light plastic lens module. Europe is ahead of the lens design and manufacturing industry. Initially, high power LED was used as a striking indicator of high consumption places such as clubs or shopping centers. In these places, the RGB hybrid LED provides highly flexible lighting, including color changes and other characteristics. Now from Rui (CREE), Lumileds, Seoul (Seoul), OSRAM (OSRAM) 'white' (blue + Phosphor) and fluorescent lamp LED has competition efficiency, with LED growth in the industry, the market is in transition. "Now, the demand for building lighting is still very large," Bryant said, "but the LED will gradually penetrate into the broader office lighting field, as well as its higher energy utilization is widely used in street lamps. Street light is the next big market, LED brightness has been able to meet the requirements of. Rui company is expanding the street market. With the increase in the number of high-power LED manufacturers, as well as the birth of a variety of products, the increase in the form of packaging has become a huge problem.

These LED are not only different on the package pins, but also different from the on-chip optical lenses. "We have seen explosive growth in the LED package, which makes the lens manufacturers very painful," Bryant said, "and the average user's life is not good. "Carclo recently designed a new set of lenses for the XR-E device, but we had to redesign the RebEL line for Lumileds," said Bryant. He predicted that the packaging problem would be solved: "slowly, they will gradually penetrate until it looks almost the same. "
