LED market filled with inferior products

The yahamlighting LED market has got enormous growth in recent years. Revenue in 2013 is forecast to double from that of four years ago, while unit shipments this year will have more than tripled since 2009. The next strong growth is expected in 2014 via general lighting along with other applications such as TVs and tablets, and then growth will slow after next year.The export of high-end products in Xiamen was the first and the industrial chain in Xiamen was the most complete in China. Reporters recently learned that Xiamen governments have reached hands to guide enterprises to take the road of industry standards when the Led high bay light are facing challenges.

The LED supply in China has been able to account for 90% of global market share. However, a huge risk that the outsiders have blamed the LED market filled with inferior products and excess capacity hidden behind this seemingly prosperity. If LED enterprises are always in the condition that manufacturing low end products and disorderly competing as some photovoltaic businesses, the final outcome may be that the enterprises or even the relevant industries in the whole region will come to the end. As economic restructuring, it is inevitable that the LED industry will focus more on quality transformation than quantity transformation.


Previously, under the guidance of the idea that focus on the quantitative expansion, the low access threshold and low product specifications result in a large number of companies to enter the market with low-price products in poor quality, so the market varies greatly, and the Led flood light trend that "good money drives bad money out" will occur. In this case, it is not enough to only rely on the self-correction of market itself, the support from governments is more important to help LED enterprises to realize breakthrough.

the new home farming business mainly uses LED for lighting

Using LEDs as light sources in vegetable gardening is a new business opportunity in Japan, according to a recent Sankei Biz report. Large Japanese real estate developers, consumer electronics manufacturers, and architecture firms are utilizing their advantages to quickly set up their business models in this emerging market.To secure top positions in Japan’s real estate market, an emerging trend has been the involvement of developers into the agriculture industry.Large Japan real estate developer Asahi Kasei Homes aims to launch home vegetable gardening equipment by 2014. Another big Japanese construction company, Obayashi Corporation, is preparing to move into the agricultural production field, while Nishimatsu Construction plans to increase vegetable production by five folds.

Real estate developers fervently conduct empirical research in the wake of “home farming” business opportunities.Asahi Kasei Homes is currently conducting LED vegetable gardening experiments at a house located in Fuji city, Shizuoka prefecture.Asahi Kasei Homes President Masahito Hirai showed confidence in the vegetables’ marketability, stating, “The vegetables grown with LED lights look green and delicious, they probably taste very good.”According to sources familiar with the matter, the new home farming business mainly uses LED for lighting and applies hydroculture, a farming method based on water solutions and does not require use of soil. Users can easily enjoy farming at home.


However, this new business opportunity has presented a small challenge. The home gardened vegetables have a growth cycle of about 40 days, and after the first crops are harvested it takes awhile before the second batch can be cultivated, said Hirai. Despite the waiting period, Asahi still plans to commercialize LED farming next year, since vegetable gardening can become a highlight in interior decoration and spice up home owners’ life.Electronics related to LED vegetable gardening can be sighted in Japanese home appliance super markets.According to the report, Yamazen in Japan has been selling LED vegetable gardening product, “Home Vegetable Garden,” at the price of about 9,980 Japanese Yen since last December.

The higher the claimed lifetime

In the letter to all stakeholders, EPA responded a series of amendments for the purpose of improving transparency and increasing flexibility, saying that it has seriously considered all suggestions and have published them on the Lighting normative's website for public review, and comes with a summary of the comments EPA has responded. The final draft retains the key elements of the draft 4, added some minor modifications and further refined the dimming requirements.

Notably, the final draft allows new models automatically to pass certification, as long as the changes in these models will not violate any performance standards or any other requirements of this specification. In addition, the new draft updates the "tolerance" section to make the specific tolerance consistent with the UL1993 safety report requirements; the test data of measuring the temperature change has also been extended. The final draft also defined the tolerance range of luminous efficiency and light output value. References to new models have been removed from the specific product variation section. The specification notes that any lamp variant of a certified product may be selected for verification testing and the results from such random testing will impact the certification for all variants certified that are using the same representative model test data. New models that fall outside of the allowed tolerances that exempt it from fresh certification must undergo a minimum of 3,000 hours of testing before any Energy Star certification can be granted.


For initial lifetime claims of 25,000 or less hours, Energy Star certification can be obtained after just 3,000 hours of testing if a certain percentage of lumen maintenance is achieved. This required percentage is based on the claimed lifetime. The higher the claimed lifetime, the higher the percentage of the original lumen output must be maintained for the interim certification. However, testing of the lamp must continue through 6,000 hours for full lifetime certification. In a similar fashion, for lifetime claims between 30,000 and 50,000 hours can receive interim certification after 6,000 hours of testing if a certain percentage of lumen maintenance is achieved. For full lifetime certification of 30,000 or more hours, the testing must continue to specific hour values based upon the lifetime being claimed.

the application of LED in some special areas

Rongqing Liang introduced that in the field of solid-state lighting, in addition to simple replacement of the traditional lighting, LED light source provides more applications for lighting design, some popular application development. He particularly introduced the application of LED in some special areas, such as LED visible light communication, the application of Led high bay lighting and cosmetic applications. Rongqing Liang also described the blank fields in LED industry. He added that the study on visual science is also very important.

Under the terms of the agreement, ForceField will provide and install its Model SL3 streetlight series in various wattages and arrange for the removal and disposal of the utility's existing streetlights. ESPH will provide ForceField with a pre-determined percentage of the value of energy and maintenance savings generated by the LED retrofit project over a 10-year period. The commencement of the project is subject to the execution of a definitive agreement between the parties and financing to be secured by ForceField to purchase the 19,000 LED streetlights; both of which are expected to be completed on or before September 30, 2013. ForceField will receive support and collaboration for the financing from ESPH.


This project will yield significant benefits for the residents and businesses throughout Heredia, as well as important energy savings and a reduction in the level of carbon dioxide emissions. The shared savings model is an innovative solution we have designed to meet our client needs outdoor led flood light bulbs and generate significant revenue for ForceField; and is indicative of our business model to deploy our cost efficient, environmentally friendly energy products and solutions around the world.

which make ambitious claims about performance

We are thrilled to have been selected by Safe Haven to convert lighting to LED at their second and larger facility in Elmsford, New York.The results and cost savings of the initial conversion to Xeleum LED lighting at our Mount Kisco facility demonstrated that it was an even better investment than we originally thought and we knew it was only a matter of time before the okay came to convert our second and larger facility.The simple payback period is just over two years with a positive monthly cash flow of $1,600.00 net of financing.

Some members of the Lighting Industry Association rencently complaints that a number of LED retrofit lamps not delivering on some manufacturers’ claims, which has led to the trade body calling on the National Measurement Office to test lamps.The LIA’s COO Peter Hunt said it will team up with the NMO to check the validity of product claims and aims to test “between 50 and 60 lamps of various types, with 20 of each being purchased in the marketplace from a number of sources.He also said the decision about whether to publish any of the test results would be taken by the NMO. “The publication of any results or any actions are entirely at the discretion of the NMO”.


Members who produce compliant products had said that it is difficult to compete in a market which is increasingly populated by products which make ambitious claims about performance and life. As an association we are keen that end users should have a positive experience when first buying LED retrofit lamps by buying products which deliver what they claim.When Lighting asked Hunt what penalty those making inaccurate claims about their products could expect to receive, he said: “The NMO have a number of measures they can invoke which are published on their website.”
