The rise of environmental awareness and the application of renewable energy are the focus of the world. Because of the low energy consumption of LEDs and the benefits of energy saving and emission reduction, LED applications have become a global trend. Since the introduction of LED lighting in Japan in 2007, with the breakthrough in LED technology, many commercial applications have been created, such as our most common mobile phones and NB backlights, traffic signs, automotive lighting and Other applications. Although the output value of white LED in 2007 is still the largest in mobile phone applications, LEDs are gradually appearing in the application of general lighting and emergency lighting, bringing unlimited imagination to the market.
The reduction of white LED prices in 2007 and the 2008 Olympic effect in China have greatly boosted the demand for white LED industry in 2008, especially commercial lighting applications such as new buildings (the Chinese government promotes urban lighting), street lamps, billboards and Traffic signs and so on are most obvious.
White LED prices fell, 2008 Olympics will help stimulate commercial lighting demand
1. White LED price drops
In March 2007, Nichia, a Japanese LED manufacturer, drastically lowered the price of white LEDs with a brightness of 1200-1300mcd. The overall price reduction was 50%. In 2007, the price of white LEDs was still 25%.
LED products continue to cut prices. In the future, due to the opening of patents granted by foreign manufacturers and the expansion of white LED production capacity, the price pressure will further increase, and the price decline will be beneficial to the development of LED product application market and healthy for industrial development. This wave of price cuts has a great stimulating effect on lighting applications. Commercial lighting needs, such as buildings, public places, signboards, etc., are expected to be more general due to longer lighting time and greater commercial interest. Household lighting needs have emerged earlier.
2.2008 Olympics stimulate LED billboard demand
LED signboards are used in general merchants, and in the past, neon lights were used as light sources. Compared with traditional neon lights, LEDs are easy to install and environmentally friendly, saving about 75-90% of power, and red LEDs have the same cost as traditional neon lights, so there is potential to replace traditional neon lights as the mainstream of signboards. In order to achieve the goal of urban lighting and urban renewal, China's billboards have been replaced by new ones, and LED signboards have taken the trend.
LED display billboards are used in sports to taste large-scale events, highways, buildings, exhibition venues. In 2008, Beijing proposed three concepts of green Olympics, science and technology Olympics, and humanistic Olympics, with an investment of 180 billion yuan. Among them, Beijing, Dalian, Tianjin, etc. will use LED display billboards to stimulate the demand for LED display billboards in 2008. China's high-brightness LED display billboard market will reach more than 12 billion yuan, and the Beijing Olympics will become a new opportunity for the development of LED display billboard industry.
LED commercial lighting application business opportunities
Compared with incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps or halogen lamps, white LEDs, in addition to power saving, are also suitable for commercial lighting because of their advantages of environmental protection and cold lighting, long life, no mercury pollution, vibration resistance and fast response.
Taking streetlights as an example, experts pointed out that if all the street lamps in China are changed to LEDs, it is estimated that more than 40% of the electricity bill can be saved, and the annual electricity saving can be more than 2 billion degrees. The power saving efficiency is quite amazing. According to research by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, if LED lighting technology is used all over the world, it is expected to save 1.8 trillion dollars in electricity costs in the next ten years, and reduce the burning of 1 billion barrels of crude oil in thermal power plants. And thus eliminate 10 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. This not only proves that LED can achieve energy saving and energy saving benefits, and can be applied to the vast majority of the market.
In addition to street lights, LED commercial lighting can be widely used in supermarkets,
Lines, chain stores, machine train stations, tunnels, subway stations, parks and exhibition venues. Due to the long time of commercial use of lighting, LED has the advantages of long life, long life and energy saving compared with the existing traditional light source. It will be easier to promote and use than general residential lighting applications. It is expected that business opportunities will gradually appear in 2009.
