LED lighting penetration rate in 2015 is expected to reach 40%

Over the past few years due to the impact of Japan's nuclear disaster , and high energy prices , global awareness for the green energy industry once again rising , the growth of related industries , he returned to the track . However, in the past more emphasis on the importance of open-source vendors have invested solar panel manufacturing and conversion efficiency improvement , but limited progress after years of efforts , has been unable to break through the bottleneck of a 20% conversion efficiency . In this case , attention gradually shifted to the energy efficiency of large-scale energy saving LED throttling , which trend began to take shape in the second half of 2013 is expected to be created from 2014 , followed by three years of explosive growth of LED lighting .
Most of the first wave of LED industry, the financial tsunami originated at the end of 2008, the Samsung LED -backlit flat-screen TVs , unexpectedly sold , opened up to 18 months of LED TVs growth cycle .

Thin LED TV penetration rate steadily increased from 3% in 2009 to 38% in 2011 . LED shares have climbed on the world's high point , every company can produce continuously open .

But Japan is Jackson , this beautiful all a huge downturn in 2011 . Five-year plan to promote the continent , the result of its large subsidies MOCVD machine , creating the continent has the largest worldwide , more than 1,000 units of MOCVD machine . Carve out a lot of production , so that the price collapse LED backlight , LED from the frozen period from the fall , the whole industry from the second half of 2011 began to enter a long period of adjustment capacity until the end of last year.

LED industry into the production capacity to adjust another reason is the rise of LED lighting industry deferred . Causes ten city streetlights plan failed , in addition to the heat problem can not be resolved outside of the bulb makers reluctant to support LED lighting is another main reason. At that time, LED bulbs expensive side , unable to attract consumers in general , is another reason not to promote .

For various reasons, making the originally expected in 2012 LED lighting will replace general lighting, adding new momentum dashed expectations for the LED industry , leading in 2012 to the first half of 2013 , manufacturers were forced to enter the original expansion of production capacity adjustment , LED industry was dead.

This piece of dead in the second half of 2013 , was the first to jump into the U.S. firm cree LED lighting break . To fill out the capacity , Cree official in mid-2013 into the U.S. lighting market , the introduction of 40-watt price $ 9.97 , $ 12.97 and the price of 60 -watt replacement bulb. Such affordable prices, ripples in the lighting market has finally triggered a huge response .

The second half of 2013, Cree has sold over 8 million units in each of the three sets of groups in the United States bulbs , Cree profit also reflected in last year's positive earnings report .

2013 fourth quarter , Cree lighting business accounted for the proportion of total revenue , pulled up by the previous year's 35 to 42 % annual revenue growth of 42% , is three business sectors to grow the most amazing . After the invasion of Cree lighting industry , lighting manufacturers have followed suit , expected in 2014 LED lighting penetration rate increased from 8% to 15 % to 20% in 2015 to 40 percent chance , and to push for the LED industry into the kinetic energy.

New research from Stanford University : Special lighting relieve pain

A research team at Stanford University recently developed a new technology that can regulate the use of certain means to ease the pain. This technique relies on genetic means using a specific radiation beam to change the light-sensitive protein genetic code in order to achieve adjustment, Alleviation of pain .


Pain can be said that life in the course. While we certainly do not want to accept , but the pain sometimes it can help our favor. When our body when certain problems occur , there will be some pain to give us warning . So some kind of perspective, and sometimes the pain is actually a good thing necessary .

A research team at Stanford University recently developed a new technology that can regulate the use of certain means to ease the pain. This technique relies on genetic means using a specific radiation beam to change the light-sensitive protein genetic code in order to achieve adjustment, Alleviation of pain .

For the study, the researchers would like to be healthy DNA in cells injected with the virus , and to ensure that this DNA was visualized proteins. These viral DNA is injected into laboratory mice limb nerve , viral DNA after a few weeks of training to achieve the desired results. After that, researchers will mice kept in transparent plexiglass cages , the researchers then irradiated with their claws , then monitoring the changes in the number of viral DNA and changes in pain mice .

If in the future be able to apply this technology to protect the security of the premises to the treatment of human disease , it will maximize alleviate the suffering of patients , and can more effectively help the medical staff for treatment.

Prices and Global Trend of LED bulbs

Replace 40W average American goods fell sharply , to replace 60W steady decline in global prices of goods
February the United States to replace 40W commodity prices fell the most obvious. 11% of the average price fell sharply rendered . Part of the original commodity prices, and the new low price items .

If Walmart 's own brand Great Value 7W light bulb whole week , luminous flux is 470lm, priced at just $ 8.48 . cree of 6W, 450lm Dimmable Bulb February prices fell to $ 7.49 . In addition , some of the price of Philips light bulbs also come down .

Replace 40W bulb part in China 's commodity prices in February were 1.9 percent decline , the original part of the commodity prices, such as Samsung 6.9W, 490lm Bulb month, prices fell from 19.5 to about 12.5 U.S. dollars, and 3-year warranty.

Replace 60W commodity parts, each region showed stable prices of basic downtrend . The United States showed a 2.6% rise in prices , but the original commodity prices remained stable or showed a downward trend , mainly due to the majority of high-priced items return to the market flexible led strip to price increases, such as Lighting Science 13.5W bulb, luminous flux of 800lm, had temporarily stop sell, re-sell this month , priced at $ 20.6 .

Tier vendors actively launch new products, product trends for the future of intelligent lighting

It is understood that the global LED bulb prices steadily declining, each tier brand manufacturers also have to pursue to improve performance . Currently in the North American market, 90% of the brand bulbs with dimming function ; 70% of the products for the whole week of light bulbs. The recent launch of the new European markets are mostly light function with a full week .

In addition, import controls wisdom also focus on the development of various manufacturers this year . Philips Hue bulb has officially started selling in the Chinese market , while Samsung also recently announced the launch of the new smart LED light bulb , which built-in Bluetooth , you can control the brightness and color temperature via a smartphone or tablet applications.

Brands will promote cost-effective products to improve and accelerate the integration of the regional market norms , and the wisdom of the future lighting will also become one of the major trends in lighting products. The key factors in the current stage , the smart led tape market price and consumer acceptance of the product is still hampered popularity . Therefore, how to achieve a balance of performance and price , but also for each tier lighting manufacturers currently in dire need of solving problems.
