GE LED Light Manufacturers : LED is expected to open in 2020 80% of the general lighting market

General Electric Company (GE) LED Light Manufacturers the next decade, including incandescent bulbs, including the vast majority will be LED instead.

In March this year was appointed head of the lighting division Maryrose Sylvester said in an interview in New York, "LED general lighting into the interior has led to more and more attention, in 2020, LED will open about 70% to 80% general lighting market. "

Siemens subsidiary Osram Opto Semiconductors , Philips and GE's traditional rivals, have made ​​a similar growth rate forecasts. New regulations published with LED prices, making the LED lighting system for individual consumers and commercial buyers of appeal greatly increased.

Maryrose Sylvester said, accounted for the market opportunities for the past five years, GE Lighting in LED technology research and development spending has doubled. But he did not give a specific number is.

Headquartered in Munich, Siemens AG, 2013, the LED market will grow to 130 billion (about 9.8 billion euros), 2016, a further increase of 44%. Amsterdam-based Philips is expected in September, 2015, LED lighting will account for 45% market share.

Maryrose Sylvester said, because the LED system is more expensive in the early, thus reducing maintenance costs to show users how to generate energy savings and return on investment. This is critical.

Technology transfer

Maryrose Sylvester said, "When the shift LED technology, when it learned that whether it is a commercial building owners or business owners or individual consumers, are very clear in today's world energy consumption, more focus on improving the energy consumption. "

Although the LED light bulb is still more expensive than other bulbs, but with the environmental regulations for energy conservation as an important goal, LED bulbs, the prices have started to decline. In the U.S., in 2007 introduced the 100-watt incandescent bulbs out of the regulations will take effect next year, then in 2013 to phase out 75-watt bulb, in 2014, out of 40 watt and 60 watt light bulb.

An LED light bulb will directly affect the efficiency of light generation. On incandescent bulbs, the electrical heating process of the filament to produce light energy loss occurs.

Business Systems

As LED efficiency depends on the LED package and how to configure, so GE is focused on business customers overall LED lighting system design, rather than trying to make LED light bulb is equivalent to incandescent bulbs. That is Cree and other semiconductor chip suppliers are trying to do.

Maryrose Sylvester said, "Our expertise is combined to the overall application and implementation of the important applications."

Pike Research predicts that by 2021, only in the commercial lighting, LED lighting, it is expected to account for 52% market share. This year, the commercial lighting market is expected to reach $ 42 billion in 2012 and will reach $ 54 billion peak. With the use of LED lighting systems the growth of commercial lighting market will gradually decline to about 30 billion 2021 U.S. dollars.

Konkana Khaund said, from the current point of view all aspects of the information obtained, LED market can be described as chaos.

Maryrose Sylvester said, GE's strengths include extensive experience in the lighting business and its customer base and product line breadth. Opportunities and challenges us to think wider wider illumination. In the long term, this will help us win victory. As customers need a partner.

Frost & Sullivan expects 2016 sales of LED lighting market in North America will account for about one third of the lighting market, market share, more than the incandescent lamp market share.

GE and Siemens

New low-cost Asian companies can produce LED lighting manufacturers. Currently, GE and Siemens industry-leading giant is facing competition from these companies. Market research firm Frost & Sullivan industry manager, the main analysis of lamps and lighting markets Konkana Khaund said the companies must reduce the price to win the LED market. For example, some traditional manufacturers to an LED product quoted price of $ 200, but given the price of low-cost manufacturers only $ 100. Which will be filled with cheap products market as a whole.

LED street lights to be switched to improve the city image

Foshan Daily Reporter Cai Reuters reported good news: the night of the Mandarin Road, will be more "light." Reporters learned yesterday, Wenhua Road, plans to install a new 178 LED street lights, project tender to be launched in the near future. By then, the Mandarin will be the smart way to achieve the third district, "lighting" of the east-west trunk road.
"Light is dim, many people are open high beam, driving at night is dangerous." Refer to the experience of a few days ago, who lives in town still haunt Wenchang Road, Xie Zhibiao. Xie Zhibiao said that, like the Mandarin Road, civilizations, although brilliant city road main road, but the light is quite dim, vehicle owners to improve lighting effects, but to use high beam, the results of driving at night more blocked line of sight, several times, almost unexpected.
Reporters also saw the scene, including the Mandarin Road, including a number of major roads of the city, is still installed in the 1990s, landscape lights, each with four 85W rod composed of sodium, light focused on the sidewalk, for lighting the role of main lane minimal. "The role of the landscape is much larger than street lighting effect, can not be used to meet the current demand." Gaoming and Street Lights Office is responsible for people admitted.
In fact, at the Mandarin Road road reconstruction is completed, the "light" project has entered a substantive advance them.
"We plan to replace street lights across the board, Wenhua Road, Wenhua Road, to enhance the lighting effects." Zone on behalf of the construction project management center, said, according to plan, the Government intends to remove the whole section, Wenhua Road 140 original courtyard, along the road to the installed in the main lane mountain road 178 LED lights, and in the Lotus section of Zhongshan Road to the sidewalk, the removal of the old courtyard renovation of use after the installation of 41 garden lights.
"The level of the main driveway lights are 160W and 60W, the courtyard sidewalk is four 15W of LED lights." Zone on behalf of the construction project management center, said the reason for selection of LED lights, in addition to significantly enhance the lighting effects, the energy-saving also a good bet. For example, 178 sets of lights, using 60W of LED lights, than the 120W sodium lamp, under the same circumstances six years to save 480,000 yuan. If the entire project into a traditional sodium lamp LED lights, then six years will be $ 1.43 million more electricity.
According to reports, the project has been through the District Government, intends to launch the tender in the near future, followed by construction.
Reporters learned that the central city "light" works as a charge the city the city an important part of the upgrading plan, since it has been in full swing throughout the year. For example, within two consecutive years of brilliant street light project, Lane installed over 700 lights, greatly enhance the effect of street lighting.
In the trunk, the year wise to take the lead in Yuehua Road and Wan Shing Road were installed a total of 244 122 and 73 146 LED light, a change in the Area "dark" history. The upgrade program with the Cang Road Reconstruction, the current road has also been installed on Cangjiang over 400 high and low lights, light some power has been achieved. Once completed, Wenhua Road street replacement, which means that the three east-west trunk road to achieve smart "light" program.
But at the same time, including civilized way, Wenchang Road, East Road and Taihe Road and other main roads, there are still dim light and so on. The relevant departments that charge according to the city to enhance urban planning, will be the next in succession, in order to improve the downtown area of ​​lighting effects and image of the city.
