There is no comparison between the costs of LED home lighting vs. traditional incandescent options. With incandescent bulbs, the true cost of the bulb is the cost of replacement bulbs and the labor expense and time needed to replace them. These are significant factors, especially where there are a large number of installed bulbs. For office buildings and skyscrapers, maintenance costs to replace bulbs can be enormous. These issues can all be virtually eliminated with the LED home lighting option.

Our white LED home lighting currently come in packages which contain 36 or 48 LED lamps and can be adapted for use with any power supply or casing. Our clusters allow for conversion to operate from all common caving batteries, e.g. FX5/Kirby pack down to two AA cells, in case portability is needed. We have produced a seven-LED cluster light source as an alternative to low wattage light bulbs and a possible portable light source.

Nearly all LED bulb assemblies used in the US today have been in one respect or another manufactured in China which to date has proven through a multitude of quality issues on various products that these are no better. This technology has been plagued with quality issues ranging from poor power board quality failure rates as well as only being capable of producing suitable light for a maximum of 50,000 hours. Their use in traffic signal lights has resulted in failures in operational control of traffic at intersections in snow prone areas of the US due to lack of heat to prevent snow buildup in their fixtures. The standard work around for this problem was to install resistance based heating circuits to keep the fixtures above freezing temperatures in order to melt away any snow that might otherwise blind the fixtures lighting from oncoming drivers.

Considering these most basic problems it becomes easy to see why these systems should most certainly not be used in mission critical applications. The short term energy savings are giving way to frequent replacement costs and warranty issues which ultimately will be the death of these systems which would be far better used for minor outdoor property lighting of homes or lots. At least in this case their failure would not likely cause or contribute to any traffic accidents that could potentially cost someone their very life. There is new lighting technology which is certain to rise above that of the LED and offers far greater energy savings as well as greatly extended operational and warranty life. Induction lighting systems which are manufactured right here in the good old US of A have come to the forefront in every aspect and they have done so without any of the severe quality issues suffered by that of the LED.

Residential lighting markets in Beijing the capacity of: Beijing more than 200 million yuan per year residential lighting needs. From the Beijing Urban Construction Committee of the CPPCC Beijing housing market developments on the research to get the Beijing 1200 annual housing demand in square meters. Beijing urban residents by meeting the basic needs of low-limit standard calculation, each of about 900 million square meters of housing; ahead by a certain amount of calculation, each of Beijing urban residents about 12 million square meters of new housing. The results are from Beijing Municipal Land Resources Bureau and the Housing Authority, press the “fifth” of Beijing’s GDP during the average growth of 9% of the cases, the growth rate of per capita housing area is measured. If each household calculated according to a set of 70 square meters per year to stay housing should be added about 17 million. Each set of required electrical lighting fitting into the average calculated at 1,200 yuan, the Beijing should have been 2 billion per year for residential lighting needs. And across the country, with major cities like Beijing market capacity, Shenyang, Tianjin, Xi’an, Chengdu, Kunming, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Wuhan, Changsha and other nine. Conservative estimates, the current needs of the market size of each room lighting up to 40 billion. If the growth rate of 15% calculated to 2010, China’s lighting market capacity will reach 8.1 billion. Expected to LED technology market in 2010 will reach 25% replacement rate, the indoor lighting market capacity will reach 2.025 billion yuan this.

Because LED light source has a low voltage, high efficiency, no pollution advantages: LED using low voltage power supply, power supply voltage between 6-24V, according to the products vary, so it is more secure than the use of high voltage power supply, in particular, apply to public places; efficient: consumes energy than incandescent light effects with a decrease of 80%; of environmental pollution: no harmful metal mercury. Color index is high: you can change the current color, light-emitting diodes by chemical modification methods to easily adjust the material’s band structure and band gap, to achieve multi-color light orange red Huanglv Lan. Such as the small current when the red LED, as the current increases, you can turn to orange, yellow, and finally to green. But the characteristics of high prices, it is widely used in the hotel industry. Because the hotel industry as the price better than the domestic price-sensitive lighting.

A price war has happened in Japan since 2009. LED lighting sales occupied more than 20% of Japan’s lighting market by volume and 50-60% by sales value in 2010. And average price fell from 5,500 yen (US$67) to under 2,000 yen. LED light bulbs’ market penetration is expected to achieve 30-40% in 2011.

Sources from LED companies demonstrated that the price competition has expanded to China, Europe and the US. Average price of LED lighting bulbs has fallen substantially to the current US$20-23, nevertheless, it is still high relative to the US$4-5 of conventional energy-saving light bulbs.

It is reported that some lighting manufacturers will bring in LED products at end-use price of US$10 in 2011. Combined with distributors and retailers well-known for competitive price arranged to enter the LED sector, the price battle will only intensify in the future.

Conventional lighting giants Osram and Philips strive to break into the end-use market in LED light bulbs. In 2010, Philips used Asia markets such as South Korea, India and Singapore to test market reception. Meanwhile, Philips is reported to enter Taiwan’s light bulb market in the first half of 2011.

Philips Taiwan stated that LED lighting will make the lighting industry change, which should attract many more new customers. Currently, with the development of market, elimination and price competition will be fierce, particularly in the low-barrier retrofit segment. In addition, the long lifespan of LED lighting will limit the lighting source market. Philips said that the luminaire segment will create production value five times that of conventional lighting applications. The luminaire applications will account for 80% of the overall LED lighting market in the future.

LED light bulbs were originally used as a replacement for incandescent indicators and displays in laboratory equipment and eventually in TV’s, watches, radios and calculators. LED prices have only recently dropped enough to make them viable for residential and commercial markets. LED home lighting can include anything from outdoor to Christmas lights. LED Lights convert 70% – 90% of the electricity used into Light unlike incandescent which produces more heat than light. LED’s also last for more than 50,000 hours, substantially longer than both incandescent and CFL. With the LED light bulb there is no replacement cost to speak of as they can last 100,000 hours! To put this into perspective, that’s as much as 100 times longer than any incandescent that usually doesn’t see 1000 hours of operation.

Used continuously they will last nearly 6 years. Most LED fixtures will never have to be replaced. LED lighting is safe, environmentally friendly and contains no toxic mercury. LED lights use 90% less energy than conventional incandescent bulbs and less than half the energy of compact fluorescent lamps. Consuming less energy results in fewer green house gas emissions being released into our environment. LED’s are designed to last for 50,000 hours more resulting in less resources being used as there is no longer the need to replace used bulbs that gets thrown into the dustbin.
