LED lighting to boom in 2H13, says Ledlink

Siu Han, Taipei; Jackie Chang, DIGITIMES[Tuesday 5 June 2012]

Ledlink Optics, a Taiwan-based firm that specializes in producing secondary optical lenses for LED lighting, was listed on the OTC market on June 5, 2012. According to chairman Te-Lung Tang, the market has been vying for "the year of LED lighting", but the price of LEDs has not reached its sweet spot. The revolution of indoor LED lighting will begin when the price of 160lm/W LED lighting decreases 50%. This is likely to take place in second-half 2012-2014.

According to Digitimes Research, the CAGR of the LED lighting market from 2012-2014 is approximately 85%. According to Tang, Ledlink's orders are likely to increase with this market trend if other factors (such as the debt crisis in Europe) do not affect the economy. Currently, the penetration rate of LED lighting is around 8-10%. It is very likely the penetration rate will exceed 10% in 2012, said Tang.

The firm indicated its global market share in the LED lighting market is about 35% and the firm has more than 2,000 secondary optical lenses. Ledlink's customers include industry leading firms such as Philips, Osram and GE.

Airport officials aim to optimize energy savings while also providing a safe and well-lit parking environment for passengers.

PEACHTREE CITY, GA - Officials at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport recognized a need for upgrading the parking garage lighting that would optimize energy savings, while continuing to provide a safe and well-lit environment for its passengers. Analyzing multiple products and their performance to find the best solution, they selected LED fixtures from Cooper Lighting, an industry leader committed to delivering innovative products and driving transformational technology in the lighting industry.

Funded by the City of Atlanta Green Loan Fund, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport officials decided to replace each of the 4,342 210-watt metal-halide fixtures with Cooper Lighting's 80-watt McGraw-Edison Valet LED fixtures in its north and south parking decks. This decision would not only lead to greater energy-efficiency, but also cost savings of almost half a million dollars each year. According to the City of Atlanta's Office of Sustainability, the Airport's financial and environmental partner, the carbon reduction associated with the project is equivalent to taking 500 cars off of the road.

"Replacing parking garage lighting with more energy-efficient options is one of the most practical upgrades a city can make to save energy, reduce costs and lower CO2 emissions," said Mark Eubanks, President, Cooper Lighting. "This project has been a great opportunity to showcase how Cooper's innovative LED products can increase overall efficiencies and performance to provide a safe and well-lit environment, all while helping the City of Atlanta save almost $500,000 each year in energy costs."

Through superior optical control, Cooper's Valet LED fixtures deliver uniform and energy conscious illumination optimized to improve vehicular movement and pedestrian safety in parking structure applications. Cooper's modular LightBAR(TM) technology, featuring patented AccuLED Optics(TM) system, delivers uniform and energy conscious illumination. Both factors were key to Airport officials who hoped to improve the distribution of the lighting in the Airport parking garages while also optimizing energy savings. The Valet LED fixtures will also reduce maintenance costs as they are designed to last 50,000 hours.

Market News

May 25, 2012 // Christoph Hammerschmidt

According to a report from market researcher LEDinside, the European LED lighting market's rapid growth is attributed to the energy-saving awareness and high electricity prices in Europe, especially the latter. For example, if a 7W LED light bulb (a replacement for 40W incandescent light bulb) is used for eight hours a day for a month (31 days), it can save 8 kWh compared to using an 40W incandescent light bulb. With the electricity prices of EU-27, US$2 can be saved every month by adopting a LED light bulb instead of incandescent one

As for the future of LED, the market research company expressed "high hopes" for LED commercial lighting's prospects. Given the global anti-nuclear trend and no room for the electricity prices to dip, the energy-saving demand will only climb. LEDinside predicts that LED price will see a drastic drop starting from 2012 and expects the value of European LED commercial lighting market to reach US$1.9 billion by 2015, seven times more than that in 2011.

LEDinside, the LED research division of market research company Trend Force, indicates that more money can be saved by adopting LED lights in the outdoor and commercial lighting sectors due to their high electricity consumptions. LED light bulb's lower wattage and higher thermal dissipation efficiency will result in better energy-saving efficiency. Thus, high electricity price is one of the most important factors that really spurs European LED lighting market's growth surge.

As for the indoor lighting, European lighting market is mainly dominated by Philips, Osram and GE. In particular, Philips and Osram dominate the trend in European LED lighting market; they continue to put efforts into traditional lighting market and channels, but in the meantime, they have been developing their LED products. European LED lighting firms take a more scientific stance on manufacturing LED products, with emphasis on LED components' color temperature, brightness and beam angle.

According to LEDinside, in terms of the color temperature for indoor lighting, Europeans prefer warm white, yellow light (2500K-2700K), while for the commercial lighting they prefer around 3,000K with CRI being above 80.

It is very easy to buy 10W (and lower) LED light bulb and candle light at convenient stores and supermarkets in Europe. However, LED still has a long way to go before it reaches wide adoption in the household lighting market; currently, LED lighting is mainly adopted by new buildings and luxury houses, the market researcher finds. LED lighting fixtures prices are still much higher than those of traditional lighting products, not to mention that at present, LED light bulbs cannot replace traditional ones in terms of beam angle. For this reason, regular consumers are still conservative about using LED lights in their households.
