LED lighting grows rapidly GE enters LED

The rapid growth of LED lighting technology in recent years has changed the lighting market. LED lighting has higher brightness, uses less energy, and has a longer service life, attracting more and more industrial, commercial and even domestic lighting consumers to use LED lamps. Since Thomas middot; After Edison commercialized incandescent lamps, General Electric (GeneralElectric) It has become a player in the international lighting market, and has also seen the strong growth of its LED lighting business in the constantly changing market environment. Subsequently, the product portfolio was expanded. Like the strategic acquisition of market sharing and penetration, GE's LED business benefited a lot from research and development. GE Lighting is part of GE's energy management, contributing $147 billion to the company's total revenue of $7. 4 billion in 2012. Like the filament of an incandescent lamp, the LED light is based on a light-emitting diode ( Lightemittingdiode, or LED)Compared with the 60- The luminous efficiency of 70lm/W and incandescent lamp is lower than 30lm/W, and the luminous efficiency of LED lamp is higher, reaching 150lm/W, which greatly improves the light quality, safety is improved in a wide range of lighting environments such as streets and parks. In addition, LED lamps consume less energy and are less harmful to the environment than compact fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps. 8- The 12-watt LED lamp can provide 15-watt compact fluorescent lamp or 60-watt incandescent lamp lighting. Less energy consumption and the consequent reduction in electricity charges are a significant advantage, especially in commercial buildings, lighting energy consumption accounts for a large part. The rapid growth of the LED lighting market has also been reflected in the LED business of GE Lighting in recent years. The company's LED lighting grew by 24 in 2011 and 35 in 2012. GE expects such strong growth to continue this year. GE's components and packages such as LED chips are then integrated with radiators, optical components and other control systems to create efficient LED lighting. In addition to selling LED lighting products, GE also provides services such as customized lighting solutions and delivery engineering management. Value-added services such as this will also help GE Lighting's LED products increase sales.
