Five categories of LED lighting products

First: electronic information display apparatus, equipment, household appliances and other information display, digital display and variety of displays, and LED Display (information display, advertising, scoreboard, etc.). Current market share of more than 100 million potential market there are several hundred million.
Second: traffic lights city transportation, highways, railways, airports, maritime and river navigation lights used and so on. Existing market share with billions of dollars, the potential market of hundreds of billion yuan.
Third: automotive interior and exterior automotive lamp lights, turn signals, brake lights, fog lamps, headlamps, vehicle instrument display and lighting. Market share has more than ten billion potential market of hundreds of billion yuan.
Fourth: LED backlight backlight small size: less than 10 inches, mainly used in mobile phones, MP3, MP4, PDA, digital cameras, camcorders and fitness equipment; medium-size backlight: 10 inches to 20 inches, the main for portable computers, computer monitors and a variety of monitors; large-size backlight: greater than 20 inches, mainly used for color TV's LCD screen. All of these backlight market share has billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of potential market.
Fifth: the LED lighting applications based on existing products can be divided into six categories:
1, outdoor landscape lighting: guardrail lamps, projection lamps, LED lamps with, LED shaped lights, digital lamp, underground lamp, lawn lamp, underwater lights, the current market share billions of dollars, billions of potential market million.
2, interior lighting: wall lamp, chandelier, embedded lights, spotlights, wall lights, flat light panels, grid lamps, fluorescent lamps, lamp, change slides, etc., the market share of more than ten million, there is the potential market million dollars.
3, special lighting: portable lighting (flashlights, headlights), illumination light (Gallery lights, house lights, court with lights), reading lamps, microscope lamps, projection lamps, camera flash, lamps, lights, etc., existing market share There are billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of potential market.
4, security lighting: lamp, explosion-proof lights, emergency lights, security lights, etc., existing market share of several hundred million dollars, the potential market billions of dollars.
5, special lighting: military lights, no heat radiation, medical lighting, light therapy, sterilization lamps, special lamps and flower crops, bio-specific lights, solar photovoltaic cells with a combination of dedicated LED lights, the current market share is not , but has great significance and importance of the potential market of hundreds of billion yuan.
6, general lighting: offices, shops, hotels, ordinary household lighting, etc., although the LED lighting has yet to formally enter the field, but with the LED technology continues to progress and costs continue to decline in recent years is expected to be gradually into the general lighting field, the potential market is the largest, with hundreds of billions of potential for development.

Cree commercial LED lighting devices

LED lighting grow into global trends, but the luminous efficiency and affect the market price is still the rapid spread of the threshold, according to U.S. factories Cree LED that its luminous efficiency of 140lm / W for commercial LED lighting device into mass production, terms of 140lm / W production level point of view, assembled for the LED bulb, the luminous efficiency of up to 70 ~ 80lm / W, will officially go beyond saving light bulbs 60lm / W performance, means that the LED bulb will be a higher traditional energy saving bulbs , the future will be those spreads to narrow the competition 2.
Cree has announced that its high-performance XLamp XP-G LED performance has been upgraded to a new level, the efficiency of the conventional package size will increase to 140lm / W, not only significantly improve the brightness and luminous efficiency, and easy to use, will be significantly shorten the design cycle, LED lighting, lighting products to market and accelerate the process, while the XLamp XP-G LED is currently known on the market the longest design life of the product, will be widely used for street, area lighting, PAR lamp replacement lamps and high light output flashlight applications.
It was pointed out, Cree in the luminous efficiency of the laboratory in early 2011 has reached 230lm / W, today announced further production stage of the luminous efficiency of a strong lead, recently launched the efficiency of 152lm / W, brightness 1300 lumens, CRI 90 of LED lighting applications In addition, Cree also provide test reports to help its customers services, follow-up services through technology and the key to continuing to strengthen the two major advantages.
In addition to technological breakthroughs, Cree has announced LED lights standard case in mainland China gain another victory, just as the recent completion of the history of the continent's largest highway street upgrade program, which has over 10,000 street lights, is the use of more than one million of Cree LED products . It was noted that the highway is located in Shenzhen, covering nearly 75 miles the road plan for a tunnel, four highway to install LED lighting, LED plant from the mainland to the ground on photovoltaic energy management contract mode of operation, smooth grabbed the standard case and use Cree's X-Lamp LED products, and is expected to cost recovery in four years.
LED industry, said, Cree announced that reach 140lm / W is indeed a level of mass production industry surprised, in fact half of 2011, the pace of the industry in R & D seems a bit slow, now generally of mass production in about 110 ~ 130lm / W, the Because LED light components After lighting module, the optical design process, the lights, leaving only about 50% efficiency performance, the Cree leader to 140lm / W meaning that LED bulb is expected to reach 70 ~ 80lm / W efficiency Compared to the current energy saving bulbs of 60lm / W performance, LED bulb technology, the threshold will be exceeded, the LED lighting industry will be a major incentive effects.
Currently LED bulb price is about saving light bulbs 3 to 5 times, and since the LED bulb poor efficiency and brightness, resulting in evaluation of consumers' purchase is not high, but with the LED efficiency continue to improve, the future of LED lighting and saving light bulbs of the war will only price gap, with the growing popularity of LED lighting to enhance the scale and mass production, LED lighting quick price cut lower, with industry estimates, 2012 to 2014 to enter the LED lighting market will decline in value is the most rapid phase.
Industry notes that, although the efficiency of the current Cree outperformed the industry, but the LED bulb manufacturers industry practice, as long as there is a new milestone achieved, then other firms are also expected to catch up with international companies over the Taiwan factory gap of about six months, is expected to 2012 Taiwan factory production levels are expected to keep up with 140lm / W.
