LED Indoor Lighting Development Status and Problems Analysis

LED indoor lighting according to the use of scenes can be divided into commercial lighting and home lighting two categories. Currently, the lamps used for indoor lighting mainly include LED downlights, LED lamps, LED ceiling lamps, LED panel lights, LED spotlights, LED wall lamps, LED ceiling lamps, LED bulb lamps, LED table lamps, LED chandeliers, LED scene lights. And indoor with LED lights and so on.

LED Indoor Lighting Market Status

At present, China's LED interior lighting is mainly concentrated in decorative lighting, such as some entertainment venues, commercial lighting and public lighting such as underground parking, star hotel corridors, etc., have not yet entered the market huge ordinary household lighting. The main indoor lighting products include fluorescent lamps, downlights, spotlights, and bulb lamps that replace incandescent lamps. According to statistics, in 2011 China's LED indoor lighting output scale was 18.5 billion yuan, and it increased to 31.2 billion yuan in 2012, a year-on-year increase of 69%. The “2013-2015 China LED Interior Lighting Industry Market Research and Forecast Analysis Report” believes that LED interior lighting will show explosive growth in the next few years under the dual influence of policy promotion and price reduction.

LED indoor lighting rapid development reasons

(I) Policy promotion On May 23, 2012, the Guangdong Provincial People's Government issued the "Guangdong Province's Implementation Plan for the Promotion of the Use of LED Lighting Products." According to the objectives of the program, by the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", the LED industry will achieve an annual output value of 500 billion yuan. the above. The plan mentioned that LED lighting in the public lighting field in Guangdong Province should be popularized within 3 years, and the public lighting field includes roads, public places, government agencies, state-owned enterprises and public finances, or state-owned capital investment lighting engineering fields; the plan also mentions accelerating the popularization of society. LED lighting. LED indoor lighting is the main product of demand.

On July 3, 2012, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued the “12th Five-Year Plan” for the development of semiconductor lighting technology. According to the goals set by the plan, by 2015, the scale of China's LED industry will reach 500 billion yuan. In 2012, the output value of China's LED industry was only 1920 billion yuan, and there is still a big gap with 500 billion yuan. At present, LED lighting has become the largest application area of ​​LED. The future growth of LED industry will drive the growth of LED indoor lighting.

On January 10, 2013, six ministries and commissions including the National Development and Reform Commission jointly developed the "Semiconductor Lighting Energy-saving Industry Plan." According to the goals set by the plan, by 2015, all 60W incandescent lamps used in general lighting will be eliminated, and the market share will drop below 10%; the market share of traditional high-efficiency lighting products such as energy-saving lamps will be stable at around 70%; LED functionality Lighting products market share of more than 20%. The average annual output value of LED lighting energy-saving industry will increase by about 30%, reaching 450 billion yuan in 2015 (including 180 billion yuan for LED lighting applications).

(B) The price drop is too high, and the immature technology has been the main factor hindering the popularity of LED interior lighting. After the development in recent years, LED lighting technology has been greatly improved, and now is no longer an obstacle to the promotion of LED indoor lighting. As for the price issue, with the continuous advancement of technology and increasingly fierce competition in the market, the price of LED products has also been decreasing. Since 2013, the global retail price of LED bulbs that have replaced 60W has dropped by 28%.

LED indoor lighting problems

In recent years, the price of LED lighting products has been declining, and it has begun to approach traditional lighting products. The promotion and application in the field of commercial lighting has also been very mature, gradually entering the field of home lighting, but in general, LED lighting products should really enter the “common people”. Home "is still faced with the problem of universal barriers:

(a) The overall awareness of consumers about LED lighting products is not high. In June 2013, a survey showed that only 25% of Chinese ordinary consumers can clearly understand the percentage of LED bulbs. Therefore, China's LED lighting to open the general family market still needs a full consumer education, so that ordinary household consumers have a more fully and comprehensive awareness of LED lights.

(B) Consumers believe that LED lighting products are "high in price"

At present, from the consumer's point of view, price is still the most important obstacle in the face of LED interior lighting. As a primary consideration for consumers, prices have always been a matter of most concern to ordinary people. Although the price of LED lighting products has been declining in recent years, the price of LED lights is still relatively high compared to energy-saving lamps. The price that domestic consumers can accept is basically below RMB 20, so the price is still constraining the trend of LED indoor lighting products. The main factors of popularity.

(3) Confusion of Market Order In recent years, with the gradual growth of the semiconductor lighting industry, more and more companies have entered this market. According to statistics, at present there are several thousand companies that do LED lighting in China. They are basically doing outdoor lighting and indoor lighting together. These companies do not have a strict market orientation. They watched the government support LED street lights to quickly make LED street lights. They heard people say that LED interior lighting exports a large amount, they quickly do LED indoor lighting. The chaotic market order greatly restricts the development of LED lighting in the indoor lighting market.

(IV) Quality problems of LED indoor lighting products The higher prices and chaotic markets often result in product quality. In the absence of a complete set of technical standards and an objective evaluation mechanism, several thousand companies have squeezed into LED lighting in a few short years. Naturally, some manufacturers will inevitably cut down on costs, cut corners, and shoddy. It is the interests of the entire industry that ultimately compromise the low quality and low prices.
