The pattern of the LED lighting industry's future

From LED lighting suggests that, mainly as a few large pieces: chip, package, light source module, power supply, lighting, accessories and six parts.

I think the future pattern of the LED lighting industry:

Component manufacturers: to produce chips, and possibly its own packaging line.

Lighting manufacturers: the chip package, and the production of standardized series light module.

Power Supply Manufacturer: production of standardized series of drive power.

Luminaire manufacturers: the design and production of various styles of lamps.

Accessories Manufacturer: production-related accessories.

Forming the industrial pattern benefits are:

(1) chip design and production of specialized technology and equipment requirements, self-contained beyond reproach.

If you do a little chip factory package, you can reduce the cost of LED elements. However, due to the diversity of package, chip plant may not be all-inclusive, so the need to achieve professional packaging factory diversified production.

(2) In addition to the chip packaging factory packaged into components, will also manufacture LED components into standardized, serialized light source module, eliminating the need for an intermediate module manufacturing companies, the cost of the light source module will be greatly reduced, the market on the light source module prices will lower. If another company buys components to manufacture LED light module, since packaging plants exploit the components profits module plant once again exploit profits, cost is bound to increase, to maintain profit margins, the price is bound to be much higher.

(3) By brand quality has

Packaging factory packaged LED components with their own production of light source module, component quality and the quality of the light source module by him themselves. Where customers have problems, but also easy to find a packaging factory solution. If a separate light source module manufacturing the company's products is a problem, the customer find him, he will have to find a packaging factory, prone to passing things.

Packaging factory own package LED, produce their own light source modules, each with its own brand, the quality varies, there are differences in price, the customer can choose. There are good quality, high-end products, but also of poor quality, low-price products. Everyone can survive. Just like the energy-saving lamp market, have a Philips, OSRAM such a high price of branded products, but also products like garbage. Will have their own market, no one to whom to exterminate.

In town, the streets are selling lamps, so dense, supposedly the competition is very intense, it will be difficult to survive. Not true. Why? Look carefully, each product will have more or less different. Have different specifications, the quality are also different. Of course, price is also different. What kind of own choice. You do not think for a merchant said: that home prices lower than you, you give me the price. Merchants will say: You go to that bought. But why do not you go to that you buy it? Because they do not like the home lighting design or quality! Therefore, there is such, that kind of difference, we can survive. Each have their own customer base.

(4) lamp itself is basic role is used to install the light source used. However, it has played birth decorative function. Lamps must be diversified. Because everyone's aesthetic is different. Classification of speaking from the lamp, some type of lighting, such as downlights, the amount is significant. But for each design downlight fixtures, the amount was divided. Do not think you can capture the design of a global market, the design of others you have been defeated.

Creative lighting is a must in order to machinery manufacturing industry. As long as there is a standardized light source module, LED heat problem can be designed by the luminaire manufacturer. Lighting manufacturers can be designed according to the structure of the light source corresponding standard installation and cooling. In the case where these two meet redesign additional decorative structures.

(5) Power does not belong to the semiconductor industry, originally, of course, does not belong to the LED industry. It belongs to the electronics industry. Professional power plant will not only help to ensure the quality, but also conducive to mass production, thereby reducing costs.

General electronic components are low cost, material cost of electronic products is very low. As long as there is an appropriate amount of a single species, the price will be very low power.

Specialization, standardization, mass production, in order to have a low cost and selling price.

The industrial structure, the actual pattern with the traditional lighting industry is similar.

Like the current LED industry, most companies are doing their own light board, make their own power, their own design lighting, lighting costs so difficult to come down. Do not have the versatility. Not only their own products on the market is restricted, but also contain the entire LED lighting products in the market.

Lighting can have a lot of style, and no one company can not have a variety of lamps and come out on top. Any of a small company may design a slight change in the structure of the lamp, this lamp will have its market. A small company there is a pattern, one hundred small companies may have one hundred kinds of specifications. And every company is only one set of molds. Large companies is impossible to talk to one hundred sets of molds and then open it.

Users of the lighting, the light source is usually mounted on the fixture, in addition to price, quality, design generally no good choice. Only lighting is carefully selected clients. Therefore, the light source module is basically no technical content. The future is a low margin industry. Need to be creative, to meet user psychology is the lighting. Lamps have a low price, low-margin, there are high prices, high profits. Can range from a few dollars to tens of thousands of both. Therefore, the lighting industry is the main battlefield of the luminaire side.

The light source module and heat sink, lighting separation benefit is that customers can purchase and lamps. Light problems, you can use low-cost replacement of light on it, without having to re-purchase the entire fixture nullify the integration of lamps. Reduce the user's maintenance costs.
