How to choose the LED power supply

Posted March 13, 2011
At present, LED fluorescent lamp market is very active, the manufacturer is divided into three categories: one is the original LED chip factory did, homeopathic downstream penetration, LED fluorescent lamp circuit power of knowledge and know little about; two types of general lighting of the original made factory, into a new field of knowledge about some of the circuit; three are completely new to enter the factory, they have done before other products or new business, some understanding of the LED power supply, and some do not. LED lighting fluorescent lamp LED power supply is the most important parts, improper selection, LED fluorescent lamp performance can not play, or even normal use. And customers in the process, found some errors, some advice on this, for customers to choose the time reference.
1. Why must constant: LED determine the characteristics of the semiconductor influenced by the environment. For example, elevated temperature, LED current increases, the increase of voltage, LED current will increase. Long-term than the rated current work, will greatly shorten the LED life. The LED is constant environmental factors such as temperature and voltage changes, to ensure that their operating current constant.
2. LED fluorescent lamp power and the matching plate: some customers to design the light board, find the power, find it difficult to have an appropriate power supply, or too much current, the voltage is too small (as I> 350mA, V <40V); or current is too small, the voltage is too high (eg, I <40mA, V> 180V), the result is a serious fever, low efficiency, or the input voltage range is not enough. In fact, choose a string and then the best way, plus the voltage of each LED current is the same, but the effect of power able to play the best performance. The best way is to communicate and power supply manufacturers, tailor-made.
3. LED operating current: General LED's rated current of 20 mA, and some plants used to make the start, the design of 20 mA, in fact, working under this current heat is very serious, after numerous comparison test, designed to 16-18 mA is ideal. The total current N Road, parallel = 17 * N;
4. LED operating voltage: General LED's recommended operating voltage is 3.0-3.5V, tested, most of the work at 3.125V, 3.125V so at a more reasonable formula. M a light bead in series the total voltage = 3.125 * M
5.
LED light panels and wide-voltage series-parallel: For LED lamp work in the relatively wide range of input voltage range of AC85-265V, the lamp LED series-parallel plate is important. As the current general non-isolated power buck power supply, wide voltage requirements, the output voltage should not exceed 72V, the input voltage range can reach 85-265V's. That is, serial number no more than 23 strings. Parallel few not too much, otherwise the operating current too serious fever and is recommended for 6 and / 8 and / 12 and. Not more than 240 mA total current as well.
There is also a wide voltage solution is to first raise the voltage by L6561/7527 to 400V, and then blood pressure, the equivalent of two switching power supply, cost twice as expensive, this program cost is not high, there is no market.
6. LED series parallel with PFC power factor and wide-voltage relationship; PFC power supply on the market today there are three cases: one is dedicated circuit with no PFC, the PFC is generally about 0.65; one is the passive PFC circuit with , the light board horses prepared well, PFC is generally about 0.92; also is active with a circuit to do active 7527/6561, PFC can reach 0.99, but the cost of this program twice as expensive than the second program . So the second scheme more.
The passive PFC circuit: Also called the valley-fill PFC circuit, the operating voltage range of AC input voltage is half of the peak. If the input is 220V, the peak is 220 * 1.414 = 310V, half the peak voltage is 155V, and then subtracting the partial pressure of two capacitors in series 1 / 2, the maximum output is 77V, so the LED
street light string of beads up to 24 serial number . This is why the light board on the market generally made of 23 strings or 24 strings of reasons. If the input is 110V, the power supply with PFC output is: 110 * 1.414 * 1 / 4 = 38V, can take the number 12 light string of beads. So, in 110V areas, to bring PFC is more troublesome, the number of no more than 12 light string of beads. Therefore, to obtain relatively large power factor, lamp beads series number can not be too much, otherwise, to reach the low-voltage requirements.
7. Current precision: the market power of the current precision, some bad, like the popular PT4107/HV9910/BP2808/SMD802 programs available in the market constant current program, error of ± 8% or ± 10%, constant error too large. General requirements within ± 3% on it. Error by 3%, 6-way parallel, each of the error is about ± 0.5%, if 12 channels in parallel, each of the error is about ± 0.25%, the accuracy is sufficient. Accuracy is too high, the cost will increase greatly. And in terms of
LED tube, 16 mA and 18 mA little effect.
8. Isolated / Non Isolated: general isolated power supply, such as made 15W, on the LED lamp, the great size of its transformer is difficult to put in here. Especially for T6/T8 lamp, almost impossible, so generally only be isolated 10W, 10W more than the few, and expensive. Therefore, the isolation of the cost is not high, the general non-isolated more main stream, the volume can be made smaller, the minimum can be 8 mm high, in fact, security measures of non-isolated well, the problem does not exist.
9. Power Efficiency and Power Factor: Power factor is the ratio of active power and total power (¢), the remaining reactive power grid into each other in the user's meter does not measure reactive power, not the user's meter any effect, but have not received user power supply bureau of reactive power of money. The efficiency (y) is the output power and input power ratio, the output power (output voltage *
LED flashlight output current) / input power, this parameter is particularly important, relates to products and the interests of users, it means that if the efficiency is low a large part of the input power is converted into heat that comes out; if it is installed inside the tube will produce a very high temperature, combined with our LED light effect of a distribution than the heat, it will generate higher stack temperature. and our power within the life of all electronic components will increase with temperature and shortened. efficiency, into the light efficiency is high, and the power and heat lamp will be reduced, the equivalent of power, performance and life span increased. So efficiency is the most fundamental life decision power factor, efficiency can not be too low, or consumed too much heat on the power supply. Generally 0.8-0.9 above it.
Power factor, efficiency, these two indicators are sometimes constrained to each other, but also, and output current on products, to improve the efficiency, output as high voltage, low current. Our company's internal control standards for power factor is generally 0.80-0.90, the efficiency is 0.82-0.90. Our existing customers in the power factor and efficiency of trade-offs, generally tend to raise the efficiency of the main power factor that can reach more than 0.80.
10. Dimensions: Height is the main factor limit, generally used for T6 tubes / T8 size requirements can not be too highly ≤ 9 mm. T10 tube height ≤ 15 mm.
11. CE certification: current
auto LED lamp for export more abroad are generally required to achieve CE certification. CE consists of two parts, one Low Voltage Directive, the main insulation and high voltage performance is generally able to achieve; other part is the electromagnetic compatibility directive, mainly refers to the EMC, electromagnetic interference and jamming, this part of the more difficult to achieve. CE certification is obtained through the distinction between product and see some of the power input can see, enter the ring with a common mode filter capacitors and inductors to be the product through the CE, if not by common-mode inductance that CE, is certainly deceptive.

LED low power applications

Posted March 7, 2011

According to the State Council issued a comprehensive energy reduction program of work, development and reform commission, through financial subsidies, to promote LED lighting and LED lighting products 150 million. According to an energy-saving lamps is too expensive has been unable to solve the problem. Thousands of families involved in indoor lighting, LED lighting, indoor lighting, after the real popularity of outdoor lighting market than the market is even larger, LED interior lighting, especially used in rendering the atmosphere, with the past, unparalleled in any other light source advantage, but At present the domestic market, the price still too high, most people still can not afford. Analysis based on LED, LED you have the following result for the following reasons:
1, no core technology of domestic enterprises
LED industry to master the upper reaches of most of the core patents in the hands of foreigners, we do not grasp the core technology, despite the application of our LED manufacturing capacity in the world accounted for 50% of the share accounted for 50%, but actually the lowest part of the profit .
LED chip with the technology, increase the number of larger wafers by the production process, will continue to reduce costs, in recent years reduced the annual rate of 20%, LED
street light in the price factor, to enhance the efficiency of light is also included in the price reduction in the , the same price to buy a better product. The main cost of LED lighting in the LED chip, as long as chip prices down, LED unit can be reduced and the lumen at this stage considerable energy-saving lamps, indoor lighting, naturally everywhere. LED strip is also much room for price cuts.
2, LED applications, heat is difficult
Design in about 20% of lamps, hard-working people of China will have been priced very low, 20% of the cost that is reasonable, the biggest question is how to more innovation, design is more reasonable.
Cooling costs to remain at 5%, the actual thermal design is very simple, always has two directions: First,
LED tube and pieces of the path outside the radiators as short as possible, the shorter the better your thermal design; Second, heat resistance , is to have enough heat spread to the path must also have sufficient 'cooling path. "mainly in the structure of this part of the cost for the cooling costs are not many.
3, LED low power applications
LED lighting power is the weakest link, is seriously lagging behind the development of LED lighting, the quality to be improved. Lighting design is now accounted for about 20% of the cost, and some high. As the technology development of power in about 5-10% of the most reasonable.
LED costs are high, in fact, is the other light source relative to the current, as a not invented until the 20th century, 90 blue LED, white LED can be achieved resulting in the LED industry, in fact, now the cost is not high. Especially the LED environment protection, energy saving, mercury, and each quarter the price of
LED lamps are sliding down, I believe we can achieve in a short period of time people to an acceptable level.
Domestically, the next 3 to 5 years, with the development of the upstream chip, semiconductor lighting indoor lighting products occupy 40% of the proportion of applications are very optimistic.

Know about more LED white lights

Posted March 4, 2011

Single-board LED white lights detected in the aging of data, and the white light LED assembly into a lamp aging detected when the data is certainly a bit out of.
This difference in size, depending on the LED work lamp electrical parameters and design, as well as lamps used in the environment.
First, choose what kind of LED white light.
This is important, LED lights can be said that the quality is very important. Some examples, the same section of the chip wafer 14mil white represented the end to do with ordinary epoxy adhesive glue with white glue and packaging out of the LED package of white light, single light in the environment of 30 degrees, a After thousands of hours, light attenuation data for the 70% decline; Class D low failure if the glue package of the aging in the same environment, thousands of small-time decline of 45%; if the C class of low bad glue package of the aging in the same environment thousands of small-time decline of 12%; if the B category of low bad glue package of the aging in the same environment, thousands of small-time decline to -3%; glue if A class of low decline, aging in the same environment, thousands of small time decline to -6%.
Why will lead to a different assembly process to a large difference?
One major reason is that LED chips span. Occasionally a short time more than a hundred-degree heat, it is does not matter, afraid of fear in the long run in high temperatures, is on the LED chip, a great damage.
In general, the thermal conductivity of the ordinary epoxy resin is very small, so when
LED light to work when the chip, LED chip to emit heat, and thermal conductivity of the limited capacity of the ordinary epoxy resin, so when you white light from the LED LED stent external temperature measured 45 degrees when, LED white lights inside the chip center temperature may exceed 80 degrees. LED node is actually the temperature 80 degrees, then, when the LED chip, the temperature in the thermostat to work when the subject is suffering, and this accelerated the aging of white light LED.
When the LED chip in the work, the core temperature of 100 degrees of heat generated, it can immediately pin through the bracket out of 98% of the heat conductivity, thereby reducing the heat to its hurt. Therefore, LED white lights stand when the temperature is 60 degrees, it may be just the chip core temperature 61 degrees only.
From the above data can be seen, choose what kind of white light LED packaging technology,
LED lamps light directly determine the failure situation.
Secondly, LED lamp bead working environment temperature.
Single LED white lights under the age data, the time, LED white lights work if only one light, while the environment in which its temperature is 30 degrees, then the single white
LED dimmable bulb will not work when the temperature of the stent more than 45 degrees. This time,The LED life would be ideal.
If there are 100 LED white lights lit the same time working, the interval between them is only 11.4mm case, then the LED lights around the heap of white light of the stent temperature may not exceed 45 degrees, but the center stack lighting LED white lights that may reach 65 degrees Celsius. This time, beads of LED lights is a test. So, those who gather in the middle of the white LED lights, light failure will be faster in theory, but light LED white lights around the heap, the light will slowly decline.
However, if the LED lamp beads separated by more than 25mm, then they each would not be so divergent accumulation of heat, this time, each LED white lights frame the temperature should be less than 50 degrees below, it is more conducive to LED to work properly.
If the
LED tube work environment is in relatively cold areas, the average temperature throughout the year may only be about 15 degrees, or less, then the LED, the life even longer.
Or, LED work, next to a small fan blowing to help it to disperse the heat, like that of the LED's life is Tingyou help.
Anyway, we should know, LED is the span, the higher the temperature, LED life span is shorter, the lower the temperature, LED life span is longer. LED operating temperature, of course the ideal is between minus 5 to zero. But this is basically impossible.
Therefore, we understand the work of LED lamp bead ideal parameters to the design as much as possible when lighting to enhance thermal conductivity, heat dissipation features. Anyway, the lower the temperature, LED life span is longer.
Again, LED lamp electrical parameters bead work design.
According to the results, LED white lights in the lower drive current circumstances, the smaller the emission of heat, of course, also the smaller the brightness. According to the survey,
LED street lights circuit design, LED drive current is typically only 5-10mA; lamp lamp beads used in a large number of products, such as more than 500, or more, the drive current is generally only 10-15mA , and general lighting applications popular LED drive current, only 15-18mA, rarely some people more than the current design to 20mA.
The results also show that the 14mA drive current, and, add the lid does not take the air, inside air temperature reached 71 degrees in the environment, the low decay products, thousands of small-time decline to zero in 2000 to 3% decline of the small time , which indicates that this low failure LED white lights to use in such an environment has reached its maximum, then it is a big hurt.
Aging with the aging of the board because there is no cooling, so, LED work, heat conduction is essentially impossible to go outside. Experiments proved this point. Aging plate inside the air temperature has reached the 101 degree heat, cover the board surface temperature of aging is only 53 degrees, a difference of tens of degrees. This illustrates that the design is basically the plastic lid does not have the thermal cooling. But the general lighting design, thermal conductivity are taken into account the function. So, in conclusion,
LED flashlight beads electrical design parameters according to the actual situation, good heat dissipation heat lamps, LED drive current to increase the white light that is does not matter, because the LED lamp bead work of the moment can be exported to the heat outside, there is no damage to the LED is the best care of the LED. Conversely, if the lamp's thermal heat dissipation so-so, better to have smaller circuits, it put some heat out of less.

LED lighting to replace traditional light sources have reached the standard

Posted February 21, 2011

LED industry for its excellent performance is generally considered ideal for the fourth generation light sources, LED light source in luminous efficiency, lifetime, response time, and environmental protection are better than incandescent, fluorescent and other traditional sources. LED luminous efficiency increased every year, has reached the general lighting applications.
From technology to cost
LED lamp industry for its excellent performance is generally considered ideal for the fourth generation light sources, LED light source in luminous efficiency, lifetime, response time, and environmental protection are better than incandescent, fluorescent and other traditional sources. LED luminous efficiency increased every year, has reached the general lighting applications.
In the latest from the Cree2010 results, the current white LED luminous efficiency of its laboratory to 200lm / w, commercial chips to reach 160lm / w, and plans volume production in 2013 200lm / w of the LED. LED lighting package module with luminous efficiency of 160lm / w in mind, after the process of light from the
led lights source to the loss of about 50% of the lamps light output performance to achieve 80lm / w, still more than the current fluorescent 60-80lm / w of the light efficiency, and much more than incandescent 10-15lm / w efficiency.
Analysis: LED lighting market drivers
Effect from the light on, LED lighting to replace traditional light sources have reached the standard. Commercialization of products currently have reflected LED light effect on the advantages, such as LED light bulbs with screw-type base design, and can be used to replace traditional incandescent bulbs, do not need to change the existing lamp and line, according to size and mount by E26 and E17 bulb type size, 4W for
LED bulbs to replace 25W incandescent bulbs, 6W to 40W LED bulbs can replace incandescent bulbs, 10W to 60W LED bulbs can replace incandescent bulbs in the B2B.
Technically, LED light effect has reached the requirements of an alternative to traditional light sources, LED lighting restrain the rapid spread of the major factors is its high cost. The future development of LED lighting, the main direction should not be lm / w to represent the technological upgrading, but the $ / lm represented costs.
In addition to technology and costs, national and regional government's positive attitude towards energy conservation, to stop and disable the incandescent product plans, is to promote
LED flashlight alternative to the important factors occur. Planning in many developed countries around 2012 to stop manufacturing and prohibit the use of incandescent bulbs, LED, with its energy saving and environmental protection advantages, is the ideal alternative to incandescent lamps, once the appropriate technology and cost, is expected to be the policy of Governments on the support.
LED lighting industry investment opportunity
By analyzing the TV backlight LED occurred in the area of fluorescent lamps (CCFL) in the substitution process can be found in CCFL backlight LED price difference relative to the fastest period of decline, there is a rapid increase in penetration rate of LED backlighting time. LED lighting alternative to traditional fluorescent and incandescent lighting will repeat the process.
In LED lighting products with the traditional lighting products during the rapid decline in the price difference,
LED light bulb penetration will increase rapidly. In the LED industry, there is a proposed by the Agilent RolandHaitz Haitz law, is considered the LED industry, Moore's Law. LED commercially since the cost per lumen ($ / lm) decreased by about 20% per year, and from recent data, the brightness improvement and cost reduction has accelerated the trend.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy forecasts, the cost lumens white LED package from 2009 25 $ / klm, down to 2015 2 $ / klm, the average annual cost reduction of 30% or more, while the annual average between 2010-2012 fell almost 40%.

LED Lighting Market to More Than Double the Rate of Growth

Posted January 24, 2011

Today, LED lamp market to more than double the rate of growth. LED lights produce a lot of enterprises have adopted the exhibition to launch its own LED lighting products. Coincidentally, there are businesses, also said by the state "emission reduction" policy to promote, LED lighting market has been opened since last year, gradually, their company now produces annually about 150,000 LED bulbs. In fact, since the semiconductor lighting project launched in 2003, China LED industry and technology has made significant progress, initially formed from the upstream material, middle chip preparation, the downstream device packaging and integration more complete application of R & D and industrial system. According to public information, the end of 2009, China had more than 3,000 LED companies, including the extension of the upstream and more than 40 chip manufacturers, packaging companies are about 1,000 middle and lower reaches of applications enterprises 2000. 2009, LED lighting production from 94 billion in 2008 rose to 106.5 billion, increased to 82.7 billion yuan industrial scale, an increase of nearly 20%. LED lighting market for rapid growth in recent years, the reasons for San Miguel said this week due to state industrial policies and technological breakthroughs brought about by lower prices. Indoor LED lights this year, mainly due to growth in the price per 200 yuan from last year's decline to the current 160 to 170 yuan, which greatly promoted the marketing of LED lights. Currently, only a small amount of the LED lighting market in the country under the protection of energy saving policies, the majority being used in street lights and landscape lighting projects. Although the LED street lights in the country this year, show rapid growth momentum, but by the impact of high prices is still difficult to be accepted by the market as a mainstream lighting. Liu Weiguo, said: "From now on the situation, not a company's market share of more than 2%, while the LED lighting industry in China accounts for less than 10% market share." According to reports, since many companies have taken a fancy development prospects of LED lighting, flocked to the area and disorderly competition in the industry further exacerbated the chaos. The reality is that the current LED interior lighting is still only used in large factories and supermarkets, has not really entered the household, which largely affected the LED market promotion and development. On the one hand is still too high people can not afford the price of lead, the other is the "herd" the blind expansion of industries, leading to uneven product quality throughout the industry, affecting the LED light bulb in the image of the minds of consumers. LED technology to further breakthroughs in order to better adapt to the market. In addition, the Government should further increase efforts to promote LED lighting, so the next few years, LED lights will occupy the main market. In addition, the market development of LED technology also its limitations. LED heat dissipation technology is not good enough, which causes the power to shorten life. Currently, most are not long life LED power supply, up to 10,000 hours using the short LED lighting market soon usher in the spring!

A New LED Product

Posted January 11, 2011

According to the British Daily Mail reported that a revolution in lighting is quietly engaged in the traditional light bulbs and energy saving light bulbs will be fierce competition. Currently, the University of Cambridge researchers have developed an inexpensive light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs, which enables less energy to be released from the bright light. The price is only £ 2, the sustainable use of 60 years in the B2B.
British scientists have newly developed light-emitting diode
Although this score currency
LED light bulb is small, but it is the traditional incandescent light bulbs lighting efficiency 12 times that of low energy fluorescent light bulbs 3 times. It is different from the current energy-saving light bulbs, full power after the light directly. UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council that the use of new LED bulbs will reduce electricity consumption for three quarters of home lighting. If every home and office installation of such light bulbs, will the total annual lighting electricity consumption 20% to 5%.
Early January of this year, the British "Daily Mail" reported that, people are using energy saving light bulbs, and many shops to stop inventory of traditional incandescent bulbs of 100 watts. The resulting panic of many consumers to buy. The British Government that the use of energy-saving light bulbs can reduce the release of 500 million tons of carbon dioxide each year.
LED light bulbs they use a man-made semiconductor materials - gallium nitride, used to make light-emitting diodes. As low-cost light-emitting diode size and brightness compared with the traditional advantages of the LED lamp, it has been used to make bike lights, cell phone lights, camera flash and so on.
But if the manufacturing cost of LEDs were too expensive for widespread use, or cost, this is because the material must be manufactured from light-emitting diodes, "sapphire wafer" (sapphirewafers), means that the production costs of
LED flashlight will be higher, about 20 pounds. Currently, gallium nitride Cambridge Research Center scientists propose effective solutions, they will use silicon wafers to create a light-emitting diodes, thereby greatly reducing costs. Durham County, RFMD has now begun manufacturing prototypes of the product is expected to be the first LED light bulb on the market in two years.

How Far Away From Our Lives of LED Lamp

Posted December 14, 2010

Hangzhou Tower LED, including many of the world, including both well-known commercial application, and received wide acclaim. So, from the incandescent lamp - energy saving lamp-LED lights, LED lamps complete lighting triple jump How far away from our lives?
LED lights prices, technical stability is not strong
Recently, the State Development and Reform Commission heard a clear message to planning to phase out incandescent 3 years. LED lamps according to environmental protection and pollution-free advantage of the industry to judge, LED lights are expected to directly replace incandescent lamps, universal timetable can be greatly advanced. However, the price of LED lights are the majority of enterprises believe that the minds of consumers is important to the family "stumbling block."
Zhe Jiang Xiongbang money saving products Co., Ltd. General Manager's Office Director of the epicenter that the current government is actively promoting energy-saving lamps, incandescent lamps because of their prices several times higher than normal, the way the Government had to take subsidies. The price of LED lights are far above the energy-saving lamps. "There's
common led bulb, the price at least 100 yuan, while the ordinary, but also energy-saving lamp with the base 20 yuan."
Reporter learned that even the most ordinary LED bulbs, the market price of at least fifty dollars or more are equivalent to more than three times the price of energy-saving lamps.
In addition, the stability of technology is also a great "weakness." It is understood that, because China is no national standard for LED lighting, the production company quite a mixed bag, many of them low-quality products. Qian said the epicenter of energy-saving lamp lighting effects, the service life of these indicators with a number of factors, such as being ignored by many manufacturers of power modules.
Trends: technological research to reduce production costs
"As our companies do not grasp the core LED technology, more applications are in packaging and, in addition to processing, the mostly homegrown in the country." Didi, a person in charge of lighting, with the domestic enterprises core technology of the chips to intensify research, LED products, prices are expected to be further reduced. According to reports, the main push of the business next year, a household LED light bulbs, is expected to price at 50 yuan.
Many people in the industry who agree with point of view. Qian said the epicenter, within three years, the price of energy-saving lamps will be controlled at less than hundred dollars, and as time goes on, LED lights cost will decline further.
Interview, a industry source, the chip price decline has already begun, the end of 2011 the cost of
led light bulb illumination will be lower than the current 30% -40% decline.
Lighting, shopping malls and other properties into the competition for the object
Hangzhou Tower, Intime Department Store and other local well-known department stores, have been localized during the replacement
LED lamp, a number of manufacturers involved. Didier lighting a responsible person, the company is building on the jewelry counter lighting in Hangzhou design and packaging.
Many said it will introduce the latest international energy-saving technology LED, low-frequency lighting lamp for replacement. In other words, we should replace the LED fluorescent lamp, the fluorescent lamp into LED Fixture, the energy-saving lamps, compact fluorescent light bulbs replaced with LED to replace traditional downlight LED down light ... ... The project is the New Year Power 12.7 million, saving the proportion of 52%.
An industry source said, "If the LED able to reduce the cost to the general level of energy-saving lamps in the
B2B, extended to more applications, then the LED lighting market will become the absolute master of the whole."
Trend: Contract Energy Management will become the mainstream
Because of the high cost of replacement LED lamps, and high maintenance costs, very few customers will suddenly come up with such a large amount of money, so "I pay for lights installed, and the remaining tariffs will split into" has become a Let both sides accepted mode of cooperation.
This model of professional theory called "energy management contract model." Zhe Jiang Xiongbang from Hangzhou building and cooperation programs of view, do not put a point Hangzhou, capital building, the cost of all energy-saving by the corporate commitment to male bonding and male transformation of state companies to provide all the
LED bulbs, and is responsible for the replacement of lamps and natural transformation damage, maintenance and so on. Energy transformation, electricity savings in proportion as agreed by the parties, the contract expires, the state of all lighting hung from the building company to Hangzhou, not charging any fees, while energy efficiency is no longer divided. According to reports, Energy Contract Management (EMC) model is expected to be widely adopted, enterprises have to rely on the profits of energy efficiency demonstration project.
Core technology from the United States and Japan need to purchase
In this semiconductor lighting demonstration project in the successful business enterprises in Zhejiang accounted for a quarter, many businesses began to good prospects for
LED lighting, switch, or even cross to enter. However, the prospects for the industry is not the eyes of others is so bright and optimistic.
Didier in Hangzhou Yuhang Lighting Electronics Co., Ltd. is located in the plant, the reporter saw the production of LED energy-saving lamp is different from traditional plant business, the workshop is not the roar of machines and jet flame, more like a sophisticated electronic equipment production plant, workers We are assembling, linking one of precision parts.
According to the general manager Zhao Xiaxia introduction, in fact, the main work is done by the factory assembly, "because the
energy saving lamp is the most critical parts of the chip, which is the core technology. At present, enterprises that do not grasp this technology, so it is necessary from the United States, Japan and other countries Procurement. "
The main cost of LED lights and heat in the chip material used. Single-lamp design, the share of the cost of the chip, at least in half. And 80% for foreign domestic chip monopoly, more than 50% of its costs. According to reports, Zhe Jiang Xiongbang most of the chips sourced from the United States and Japan. "This industry, at least 70% -80% of the profits are Americans, the Japanese make to go, because chip technology in their hands.
Trend:
Yangtze River Delta and other places into the LED industry gathering
It is understood that, in the "National Semiconductor Lighting Project" to promote, Shanghai, Dalian, Nanchang, Xiamen and Shenzhen, have formed a semiconductor lighting industrial base. Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River, Delta and northern Fujian China LED industry has become a gathering place. Industry, the domestic enterprises such as the core technology of the chip is stepping up its research.

Led Light Bulb Industry Prospects

Posted December 8, 2010

Today's LED light bulb industry has clearly become a shining star, attracted all walks of life poured into a share of the industry, the future is beyond doubt. So whether the future will have a "money" way it? The yet to be confirmed and analyzed.
According to incomplete statistics, China has nearly 4,000 LED companies, such calculation, China's LED production should be highest in the world list. In fact not the case, where strange?
LED lighting equipment used is indeed a great feat. Today, the growing tension in the energy, the development of new energy saving is more so how can it, even if there is new energy, energy-saving actions are also the times. We take a look at the irreplaceable advantages of
LED lighting:
First, add PC or a solid light metal shell, solid and durable, stable shock, convenient transportation and installation. We do not have to get put Chuaizhuo tense mood, installing lighting;
Second, energy efficient, requires very little power, can produce more light in the B2B. Soaring prices of today, full of life which need money to fill the hole, could save the province, why not;
Third, long service life. Exaggeration to say that although the
common led bulb for the time parameters that may be less than the life of LED up to 50,000 hours, but the LED lights used friends should know that your home under the action of LED lamps in the non-human, broken up ?
Fourth, high CRI, intuitively clear, flicker-free frequency. I often sigh, when a child stay up late to read in school, feeling light a candle so the word is clearly visible, and later were using incandescent lamps, candles felt so alone, shaking, and then later spend a fluorescent lamp, found that the evening no longer night. Now were using
LED light, and found it at night with incandescent lamps is in any case no longer.
Fifth, no harmful substances, no radiation. LED lighting is the product of a new era, but also inspired the development of the government, so the LED lamps is very particular about the choice of material, and no harmful substances. Source spectrum is determined through multiple testing before the band, there will be no radiation.
VI,
LED lamp will add more user-friendly design. At present, many corn bulb series are enterprise wide voltage design, with lightning, over current, over voltage, short circuit overload protection and so on. Even improper operation would not have burst light, leading to heavy metal or noble gas poisoning. With contrast, only know what is safe and happy!
Above points I completely the consumer's point of view of. This
solar machine product advantages, coupled with nearly 1.4 billion people in the market, the opportunity to make money should be a lot of. The key question here, this is the LED media friends asked me this problem.
But many people only see the LED lighting market space, and then others, and Zhu Bo with the flow, all the "money" Look!
As the saying goes, Eat Hot Tofu. Hot tofu chunks of his mouth, steal sheep. Undeniably, a number of LED companies were "stuck with" the. By "trap" because no more than two:
First, technology
LED product is in fact a double-edged sword, do it well, make money, doing a good job on the loss. The
pvc panel problem is there, but the method is always more difficult than that. However, many enterprises do not have long-term plans, research and development can not keep up, the old-style creative team, a long time, god is tired.
What is more, waiting for the State to the policy of fashion, in droves. Experience tells us that any one "state action" that others can skyrocket, and not selling the brand can only afford to buy, nothing.
Second, the market
Blindly too much, spread a large net-capture the market is not a good thing. Corporate profits and the market side has a great relationship is not false, but the sparrows eat the peas, "get in get out" are also many examples! But in fact is not the
display rack market the better. Many small countries, LED companies doing very well in their countries, but the population of their country and we are not a province's population, and this is why?
In addition, companies should choose their own advantages to develop the market. All the products to market, advantages disadvantages, lose money to make money, companies are only breaking even or losing money. The choice of superior products attack the market is the most sensible choice. Five hundred ranked first in the world today is the "Shell" and "Shell" of the main
drywall screw are lubricants, and not all of the oil products. So the market must be clear, the world's great that many customer groups, to identify those who are their own, do not look at eating a bowl of pot.
LED lighting companies should keep in mind: LED industry's future does not mean that all of the LED business income-generating livelihoods! Bitter coffee has its own value, and perhaps what is even more difficult! No practical skills, opportunistic, not far away.

LED Industry Chaos

Posted November 30, 2010

"First-class profits in set standards, second-class profits in patent competition, third-rate profits in brand strategy, fourth-rate profit is price wars." 2009 November announcement of the American energy star LED light bulbs norms of landmark. It was only in the U.S. market purchase labeled "U.S. energy star authentication" mark LED light bulbs, just enjoy the U.S. government finance to the buyers the subsidy, but this is the global LED lamp industry cannot have failed to notice the first LED light bulbs norms, even for the future countries formulate domestic LED light bulbs norms of important reference.
Experts with four words generalizes the standard of core contents: 1, reduce the power factor threshold, which helps reduce cost and expand LED lamp production; 2, the prominent small power LED light bulb directly replace incandescent lamp standard; 3, clear
LED bulbs for each tile bottom line; 55 lumen -- 4, clear 25,000 hours after use light failure three become limit bottom line.
In LED light bulb directly replace incandescent bulbs energy-saving is of great significance, combining now domestic chip has reached 80lm/W, combined with the energy star standard, in LED light bulb replace incandescent bulbs specifications see table below:
WangXiTian special emphasis on, it's just using home-made LED now every tile 80lm efficacy statistical results. Abroad have already announced every tile 208 lumens new LED products, incandescent lamp only each tile 15-25lm low efficiency, so use
LED lighting replace incandescent lamp is an inevitable trend.
LED industry mess with malaises
LED lighting high-speed development, but a mess, such as lamps and lanterns and no people imagine life of 30,000 hours. Experts say the project will have from the following several aspects to solve industry faces questions:
1, buy photosynthetic efficiency higher LED units, note with 60 ℃ under high temperature measurement LED voltage and current data to screening. Select current consistent LED only suitable for series, to select the voltage consistent
LED light supplier only suitable for relevance. At present the folk mill LED lighting factory, if do after 60 ℃ LED purchase high temperature screening, just can have confidence to next procedure propulsion, otherwise, it will cause many quality problems.
2 and small power LED lamp, a string of LED, need constant-current power supply, And medium and high power
LED lamp to string together LED the constant-current power supply respectively, which is more complex, And both string and and squares network structure LED phalanx, must not only constant current and voltage power supply enough.
3, LED lamp of enemy is high temperature, LED unit volt-ampere characteristics in different temperature is there is a considerable difference between. So in addition to ℃ conditions in 60 screening LED respectively applied for LED series and parallel besides, still need to have temperature monitoring and compensation, just can use cooling measures to control the temperature
LED light bulb as low as possible. LED temperature is higher, the low efficiency is inversely proportional to the temperature and the photosynthetic efficiency, LED temperature is higher, the greater light failure is inversely proportional to the temperature and life. Not exaggerated said, who master LED lightbulbs heat price and good structure, who got the advantage LED lamp industry's confidence guarantee. Leds power adapter, attention electrolytic capacitors this sensitive to temperature devices: CNGC electrolytic capacitors logo 85 ℃; Industrial electrolytic capacitors temperature marks ℃ 105, Professional level product electrolytic capacitors logo temperature ℃ above. 125 A penny a minute goods, high reliability need from buying electrolytic capacitor start careful.
4,
LED tube and lanterns is the combination of science and art, including lights "lux" (lux for units, such as corridor lights under 15 lux, desk and church desktop must have 60 lux above just satisfaction).
And "color temperature" "color rendering" and whether need dimmer and so on optical requirement and meets the eye and psychological need. For this purpose, the LED lamps and lanterns itself needs to have power electronics and thermodynamics considerations, but overall, and cost limits and volume requirements limits, etc. Say so,
LED light manufacturer portal easy, the threshold is not high, easy to occur YiHongErShang, encounter the art, light, electricity, thermodynamics specific questions, and will have a multi-channel GouKan, once a shuffle.
Nowadays LED lightbulbs orders often required power factor more than 0.9, but someone don't agree with this requirement. Fluorescent electronic ballast used extensively, forming social consensus: power factor the higher the better. But in order to improve the power factor to improve the cost of production and sales, which are disadvantageous. Besides, fluorescent lamp is depression arc discharge lamp, is negative resistance properties of the source of the light in the
B2B, for power environmental protection (harmonic problem), EMC problem is very outstanding. However LED is positive resistance properties of light, LED lamp itself does not exist EMC problem, it is only for LED the constant-current power adapter service. If use switching power supply, EMC problem occurred. U.S. grid commonly have online harmonic compensation devices, so for 5W or less than 5W LED lightbulbs no PF request, even more than 5W LED lightbulbs, also reduce threshold only request reaches 0, seven or more. Don't add active power the same number of compensation APFC switching power supply (EMC problem that will lead to a lower cost of production), very favorable. This is to promote LED lights bulb production two popular standard tenet.

LED Tube Power Dispute

Posted November 25, 2010

Hot topics LED light spread all the way from the beginning to the end of the year, everyone knew that LED energy saving long life, but in the face of large-scale applications, but because life does not match the power, reliability, lack of time to market and other issues had to be postponed. More and more people in the industry recognize that to give full play to the potential of LED tube drive power is the key support factors.
For LED lighting driver power supply, the main demands of the current focus on high reliability, and energy-efficient and so on. Alpha Xi from local Xingxian Feng, general manager of semiconductor technology for the current drive power
LED lighting clearly put forward three demands:
First, we must have high reliability, including
LED light source to match the long life, wide temperature adaptability (-40 degrees -65 degrees, or even -55-85 degrees), and the width of the grid adaptation and self-protection performance;
Second, energy efficient, Alpha Tesemi product efficiency up to 95%, far more than 91% of our country and the European Union, the level of energy efficiency standards;
Third, LED products in the current case, no comprehensive standards, LED must meet mandatory standards for electrical, in the
B2B, EMC's GB17743 corresponding IEC6100, harmonic current THD of GB17625.1-2003 corresponds to IEC61000-3-2: 2001, which requires the Power to have good EMC, PFC / THD.
iWatt has been with many enterprises to provide power
LED lighting solutions, the company's vice president of sales, said Zhu Paul DL, LED lighting, the development trend of power supply should be: high efficiency, high reliability, and non-dimming light and swap a wide range of application compatibility. PowerIntegrations vice president of marketing DougBailey also believes that all customers need reliable, energy efficient LED driver products.
Of course, there exist a number of other requirements, such as power factor correction (PFC), no flicker SCR dimming, in different input voltage, temperature and light bulbs, are all highly accurate constant-current driver output, and consistent on-and off breaking performance. DougBailey said, PowerIntegrations (PI) has launched a device in the isolated (LinkSwitch-PH) and non-isolated (LinkSwitch-PL) topology, all have these characteristics, depending on the selected mechanical isolation method and the target applications for safety rules.
Current market demand for LED lighting power supply varies depending on the application, the design of consumer requirements and street lamp or industrial fluorescent lights instead there is a big difference. Rohm Company believes,
LED light bulbs market for indoor lighting bulb-type gradually transition to the straight tube for outdoor street lighting has also increased. With high brightness of the LED to improve, LED driver circuit has gradually begun to development of high output.
Off-line type LED lighting power supply into the mainstream
Currently, LED replacement bulb
LED Tube and other new development very quickly, off the main trend of the market is based LED lighting power. International Rectifier (IR) LED Head PeterB.Green that the off-line LED power supply market is mainly divided into high power and low power two parts, probably to 50W as a dividing line, not including low-voltage applications such as handheld devices.
Integrated LED-based replacement bulbs are mostly simple, non-insulated type buck regulator
drive shaft circuit. These products are based on a minimum number of components and the lowest cost, but must also provide adequate lumens / watt, and higher than 0.7 power factor, and a standard triac dimmers dimming capacity.
The market can not meet these performance requirements of products are being replaced, and the U.S. Department of Energy "Energy Star Program (EnergyStarprogram)" requirement is one of the reasons contributing to this change.
