LED technology replacement and lighting development trend analysis

The LED revolution is over, and today's competition is more about Connection (Connectivity) Tech Crunch, an American technology blog, wrote in a report. On June 11, Xu Guoyu, UL's Asia Pacific manager, also quoted this concluding sentence in his speech and said that connectivity will play a very important role in the future evolution of the LED industry. In fact, in 2008, LED was introduced into the lighting industry on a large scale and has brought about far-reaching changes since its development. The LED power is getting bigger and bigger, and the efficiency, life cycle and energy efficiency are becoming more and more perfect, which are fully applied to various intelligent products. Xu Guoyu believes that the major feature is that the continuous decline in prices in the past few years has made the application of LED in a larger field a possibility. The current price has dropped to a critical point, and most LED applications have become a relatively economical choice. LED application, in the early stage, LED can be accepted by consumers, or because of some characteristics, such as LED's operation ability in cold environment and energy efficiency. Nowadays, the reason why consumers accept LED may be more because the continuous energy-saving value of LED and moderate upfront investment have reached a basic balance. Currently, the reimbursement cycle of most LED applications can be basically controlled to 24 years. this is also one of the reasons why LED applications are experiencing explosive growth. Of course, the sharp drop in LED prices will inevitably bring LED products (Including some parts)The bulk and commercialization. Throughout the industry, continuous price wars and patent wars have come one after another. Xu Guoyu said that based on this, enterprises in the industry need to expand new ideas, methods and directions to open up new market areas. With the extensive application of COB, high-voltage LED and high-power display index LED, LED has made great breakthroughs in fashion industry, agricultural lighting, automobile lighting, lighting painting, lighting pool, supermarket sales navigation, phototherapy and other new fields. From the perspective of technological changes, OLED is also developing at the same time as LED. However, based on the characteristics of OLED itself, its development status is far inferior to LED. Xu Guoyu is optimistic that by 2025, the entire OLED lighting market is expected to reach 1. 9 billion US dollars, but before 2019, the entire market size will not be too large and may remain below 0. 2 billion US dollars. In addition, flat panel printing and transfer printing technologies make it possible to apply quantum dot materials in lamps and display technologies, but more breakthroughs are needed in the future. At present, the lamp industry is still undergoing continuous changes, but it has gradually shifted from hardware manufacturing in the strict sense to the concept of product integration network, sensors and control devices to create intelligent lamp systems. At the same time, the industry is also continuously looking for ways to integrate new technologies into the existing infrastructure. In his speech, Xu Guoyu quoted data from research institutions as saying that in the US market, the market penetration rate of networked outdoor lamps in 2004 was about 1, with a market size of about 1. 69 million US dollars, 2011- 2012 or up to 2. 5 billion beauty yuan years composite growth more than 40 which wireless networking outdoor lamps accounted for 55 market share. The market capacity of connected intelligent lamps is expected to reach 8 billion US dollars in 2020, 2015-In 2020, the annual compound growth rate reached 22. For traditional lamp manufacturers, networking outdoor lamps is a good opportunity, but it also brings challenges. Networked Lighting consists of two parts: lamps and lanterns and control communication devices. Traditional lamp manufacturers need to invest a lot of research and investment in control and communication devices. however, some manufacturers may not know much about traditional lamps, but they have advantages in this respect. Xu Guoyu said that the driving force of networked lighting mainly comes from the end consumers and the power of regulations. In view of energy pressure and increasing energy efficiency standards, various countries have put forward some requirements for networked lighting.
