LED Agricultural lighting industrialization has a long road and broad market space

The 2014 Beijing lighting exhibition, which enjoys the Northern Lighting Exhibition, opened ceremoniously on April 14. As an important subdivision of LED beyond lighting, agricultural lighting should not be underestimated in the future market space. At this exhibition, several enterprises exhibited related products in specific exhibition areas of agricultural lighting. However, judging from the situation learned on the spot, LED agricultural lighting industrialization is still facing many difficulties and the market development is not optimistic. It is understood that in the field of agricultural lighting, the use of traditional light sources per square meter requires 0. 5 KW light source, while LED only needs 0. 27 KW, which can reduce power consumption by about half. However, the relatively high price of products is the threshold for industrialization. The price of red and blue light chips is relatively high, and there is no industrialized large-scale mass production at this stage, so this is a big difference from general lighting. According to the research and development director of Wuxi Hua Zhaohong, the reporter is now only in cooperation with several agricultural bases to carry out experimental demonstration work on related products. I hope it can play a better supporting role in the next product development. At present, the difficulty of agricultural lighting may not lie in how to produce the products, but in how to apply and promote them. because LED plant lamps need to combine the growth characteristics and cycle of each plant to carry out customized red and blue light combination and related optical ratio, in many cases, small-scale production can only be carried out according to the customized characteristics of customers. Wuxi Hua Zhaoyu R & D director told reporters. Xiamen Tonghua technology, an enterprise participating in this exhibition, has also made innovations in lamps and lanterns. the products involve T5 T8 plant growth lamp, plant growth bulb, plant growth panel lamp, plant tissue culture, plant growth projection lamp, fill lamp and other rich product series; Moreover, the dimmable function is added to the spectral design of lamps, which can be used to design and develop lamps according to the growth cycle and growth characteristics of plants. Chen Wei, deputy general manager of Xiamen Tongyi technology, also said frankly that although a variety of series of products have been developed, the market has just started. As an enterprise that focuses on doing a good job in providing overall intelligent solutions for agriculture, it is also a chance to seize the market in the field of plant lighting by working with top domestic research institutes and research and development teams. It is hoped that the market size in 2014 will exceed 20 million. A few days ago, Panasonic, Japan, also reported a major breakthrough in plant lighting. The vegetable factory in the Fukushima plant in Fukushima city was officially opened, and 1600 m² vegetables per day could be realized in the 1380 square meter plant. these vegetables will be sold in local supermarkets, which is the first time Panasonic has achieved mass production of vegetables. And get the Japanese Sankei province 0. 1 billion 60 million Day yuan of subsidies. The explosion of this news undoubtedly adds confidence to the future development of China's LED plant lighting enterprises, but it also shows that there are more and more international giants in the field of beyond lighting. and the speed of achievement is amazing. Only when Chinese enterprises are suitable can they make breakthrough progress in the industrialization of the subdivision field of plant lighting. Let's wait and see.
