Since the founder of GE, Thomas Edison, invented the light bulbs at the beginning of the last century, the way people's lighting has changed revolutionically for the first time. After the second lighting revolution occurred in the economic depression of the 1930s, GE's Iman invented the energy-saving fluorescent lamps, and the lighting industry began to move toward an era of light efficiency. At present, the lighting industry is in the third lighting revolution. How will GE, the former two lighting revolutionaries, continue to lead?
“GE pioneered the first visible LED in 1962, pushing the lighting revolution into an era of energy conservation and environmental protection,†said James Gosart, president and CEO of GE Lighting and Industrial Products Greater China. “In order to better implement GE. In the promise of 'ecological imagination', we regard LED and OLED technology as an important direction for future development."
Gao Si: The overall trend is good in 2009 but the market is mixed.
(1) The overall development trend is very good:
In 2009, the entire LED navigation lighting industry has undergone tremendous changes and continues to develop. In China, various companies are actively responding to the government's call for green environmental protection, making OLED energy conservation and environmental protection more widely applicable. The state also attaches great importance to this aspect. At the end of last year, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance launched the “Ten Cities and Ten Thousand Cities†program. It is estimated that by 2010, more than 300,000 LED municipal lighting fixtures will be promoted in 10-20 cities. The LED industry is gradually taking shape in China and the world, and has a good development trend and broad development prospects in street lighting, regional lighting and indoor lighting applications.
(2) Product energy saving and environmental protection:
There are many LED products put on the market this year, such as the GEEvolveTM series of regional lighting LED systems, VioTM high-power white LEDs, etc. These products have greatly improved in performance and reliability, and it is a good proof that LEDs are energy-saving. Environmental protection can contribute to users. Although LED products are slightly more expensive than traditional lighting products, their energy-saving and environmentally-friendly performance convincing users, which will promote the benign development of LEDs, and replace traditional lighting products will also be the trend.
(3) The market is mixed:
The development of LED industry and products is optimistic, but the emergence and development of each new thing will inevitably face many problems. For example, in the entire LED industry, some manufacturers have seen the trend of LEDs and the good "money" scene, and have rushed into this market, but their products have no guarantee in terms of performance and reliability. As the LED product standards have not yet fully formed, the entire market has also seen a mixed situation. Many users are in the process of trying products, understanding products and LED technology. If you try to be unsuccessful, it will affect the industry itself. Presumably, the expectations of this industry will fall to a low point. It is hoped that the entire industry will focus on performance, standards, and reliability, and focus on R&D and production of outstanding products, rather than making our users disappointed with the entire industry after trying bad products.
LED standards are waiting to be introduced
“I hope to introduce a product standard that can help our customers to adopt qualified LED products.†Gao Si talked about the history of GFL adoption. The process of the widespread adoption of this technology was not very smooth, and the whole market is also mixed. situation. Manufacturers with different qualifications are doing this, but customer satisfaction is very poor after the product enters the market. Because GFL does not see any significant improvement in terms of quality or light efficiency than incandescent lamps, it has encountered great resistance in promotion and application. Now, LED manufacturers and standards-setting committees should learn from the widely adopted process of GFL. At the beginning, GFL delayed the development and application process because of the mixed market, product quality and technical instability.
Of course, now that GFL technology is getting more and more mature, everyone understands its advantages, and the market penetration rate is getting higher and higher.
For those who adopt new technologies, whether they are the government or the average consumer, they will tend to use the new technology process to enjoy and enjoy the products, rather than facing immature, and not good for normal production and life. The impact of new technologies. Manufacturers and the government encourage production, there must be a good standard, and produce a good product, because the existence of this standard, the existence of quality requirements, will also be derived from upstream manufacturers will provide good for downstream manufacturers. product.
LED: small income and large expenditure
At present, LED products account for a small proportion of GE's entire lighting business. From the perspective of global sales, it may not even reach 10%. However, GE sees huge potential in LED technology and products, which is GE's current investment in research and development. The proportion of sales is completely inconsistent. Most of the research and development funds are invested in LED. In terms of R&D, GE certainly attaches great importance to it. There are R&D centers all over the world, including the research and development of new products and new products in Shanghai, China. How to localize some products and technologies to adapt to China Customer demand. There are also basic technology research and development, and there are very new experimental research and development in the world including the US base. GE Lighting is a global group. The current market share of LED products is relatively small, but its good development trend and broad The development prospects make LED products more and more important.
Luminaires have become a major factor limiting LED life
From the perspective of the overall development trend of LEDs, the upstream LED chips have developed to the present, and the light efficiency is also very high. The combination of light sources and lamps will become the future development trend. The light source is designed according to certain standards, and the lamps fully exert their effects. The emergence of LEDs has greatly increased the opportunities for integration between the two. "The best application of LED is to combine the two perfectly," said Gao Si. "So we value the application of LED and the whole system design." The industry is paying more and more attention to how to use LED chips better. The LED system is designed to ensure that it has good quality, good color rendering and stable quality, and can bring LED technology to the extreme. For example, the performance of the chip has reached 50,000 hours, but the entire system, the lamp can only reach 1 thousand hours, in fact, such a good chip quality is wasted. I hope to see the perfect combination of lamps and light sources to make the performance of LED chips perfect.
LED replaces traditional lighting schedule
“It is difficult to determine the time for LEDs to replace traditional lighting in an all-round way.†Gao Si told everyone responsibly, “It is also possible that LEDs cannot completely replace traditional lighting. This situation is also possible.†From an industry perspective, Not only focus on the product itself, but also look at the return on investment that this product brings, especially in terms of economic returns. In the next few years, it can be predicted that many traditional lighting will gradually be replaced by LED lighting, but there are still some areas that are not suitable for being replaced by LEDs in terms of current scale, energy saving and return on investment, such as indoor lighting of commercial buildings, like fluorescent lamps. It is a product with excellent performance and return on investment. The performance in energy saving is also outstanding. It can reach 3,600 hours. LED is not ready to replace all products.
"The next 10 to 15 years will be a period of major changes in the lighting industry." Goss is very optimistic about the LED prospects and market, as well as its good cost performance, LED will be a good alternative to indoor lighting products. This is also an important reason why GE is currently able to invest heavily. GE hopes to develop LED products that are superior in performance and cost performance to replace traditional indoor lighting.
LED will light up 2010
“2010 will be a very exciting time. There will be many major changes in the entire LED industry, and it will be a stage that will have an opportunity to influence the lifestyles of people around the world. It will be exciting in the years after 2010†And in 2010, Gao Si was very excited.
For the entire lighting field, LEDs will slowly replace the traditional products, and these changes will have a good impact on the entire industry, including energy conservation, application in major areas of engineering, will make the entire industry a good news. The Chinese government is also very supportive of this matter, aware of the high performance of LED in energy saving. “The government has chosen to put money into LEDs instead of investing in a coal-fired power plant. It is also a wise decision.†Gao Si praised the Chinese government and said that “in this great internal and external environment, LED development must be It will be flourishing."
