LED Lighting Singapore Why Lighting?

The overall size of global Lighting market is around $260billion, and 2012, is the year that traditional incandescent bulbs will no longer be sold in many countries due to the government band.

Very roughly 40% of the energy that the world uses produce 50% of the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) it emits, stem from buildings. Lighting reportedly accounts for about 25% residential and commercial building consumption, respectively, second only to heating and cooling systems. And cooling systems must work harder because of the heat thrown off by traditional indoor lighting.

In short, lighting is an energy hog. Just imagine how the bottom line of every corporation might benefit if lighting costs could be slashed. Imagine the billions of additional disposable income the world might have in its pocket. Imagine also how many fewer power plants might have to be built, as well as how the need for a carbon tax/ trading incentives can be incorporated.

LED! The opportunities!

LED lighting is super energy efficient and lasts (almost literally) forever; it has been having a hard time getting into homes and offices because of high initial costs.

Recent advances in LED technology has made possible much affordable, high­efficiency, high­brightness Led’s that are available in a full range of warm and neutral white colours. These advances can allow lighting solutions providers to bring new products to market, helping meet consumers' demands for soft, warm­white light in indoor/outdoor applications.

With much affordable LED lights to enter the market, it suddenly looks like LED usage could become nearly universal within the next five years or less.There are two markets for LED lighting, the professional systems market and the high volume consumer market, Data show that in 2008, sales on the global LED market had risen to US$40 billion, from US$12.5 billion in 2004. With the EU, US and Canada all reinforcing rules against the use of incandescent lights, the LED market will expand even faster in the years to come. The changeover from traditional lights to LED opens a new era in which newcomers could stand on the same starting line with traditional lighting giants, and probably even go further.

LED Market The combined market for standard high­brightness Led’s (HB­Led’s) and the new ultrahigh­brightness Led’s (UHB­Led’s) will grow from $5.0bn in 2006 to $15bn in 2010. By 2010 the market for HB­Led’s will enter to a new phase of growth.

New developments in materials and production technologies will help drive cost downwards with better quality higher. Among those are the impacts of silicon photonics, thin­film technology, nanotechnology and pure GaN substrates, as well as the evolution of better packaging and fabrication technologies.We believe that General Illumination market would be the fast growing application for Leds.

Visual appeal­ saturated colour, nearly point source of light, design flexibility

Long life time­ The LED is the longest lived light making device ever invented and some can last over 100,000 hours before failure. With use every night, all night, this means that an LED could last for decades.

Application with high maintenance cost­ there are many applications that Led’s can provides value on a cost of ownership basis Compact form factor­ Physically the LED is very rugged and can withstand moisture, vibration, and shocks which can destroy most conventional lamps.

Lack of heat radiation or UV Low voltage operation Energy efficiency Market Forecast The use of HB led for lighting is currently the fastest growing application. We expect general lighting market to grow at 37% per year­this is the highest for any led.

Architectural Led’s, are reinventing the look and feel of skylines, bridges, facades and other architectural surfaces around the globe. The light bulb is being unscrewed by energy­efficient Led’s that are both environmentally friendly and cost­effective. This industry is growing to provide new design options for architects.

Residential LED lights are indicated for residential application not only because it saves money but for decoration, spotlight, recessed cans, and outdoor. Areas like kitchen lighting, home decorative lighting, ambient lighting, garden and outdoor lightings and so on…

Industrial lighting Industrial lighting includes application such as office lighting, warehouse lighting as well as lighting for schools, hospitals and sports facilities, Led’s in these applications will address the primary concerned of appropriate amount of light while saving users money by maximizing energy efficiency of the lighting system Retail display lighting In High­end retail ­ High­tech look, interesting effect, design flexibility In Cosmetic and sweet displays ­ lack of radiated heat In Jewellery­ sparkling appearance from point light source, compact, low heat, long life

In Refrigerated display cases­ higher efficiency than fluorescent, low heat, long life Outdoor lighting Emittron outdoor light solution provides high efficiency LED lighting for a variety of industrial, commercial and public applications. Lighting of outdoor areas including streets, roadways, parking lots, and pedestrian areas are examples which are currently dominated by metal halide (MH) and high­pressure sodium (HPS) but will soon give way to LED lights. .

Off­grid application It is estimated that global household­sector use of fuel­based lighting annually consumes about 77 billion liters of kerosene. This equates to 1.3 million barrels of oil per day. The cost of this energy is ~ US$38 billion/year or approximately US$77 per household every year. This is not insignificant, especially when compared with the US$230 billion spent each year to electrify the homes of the grid­connected world.
