Sales of LED Bulbs in Taiwan Estimated to More Than Double YoY This Year 2012/08/28

Taipei, Aug. 28, 2012 (CENS)--An estimated 1.05 million LED light bulbs will be sold in Taiwan by the end of this year, 2.7 folds more than last year’s level, according to the non-profit Photonic Industry & Technology Development Association (PIDA). The association ascribed the hefty growth mostly to recent hikes of electricity rates on the island, narrowed price gap between LED light bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), and much better lumen-watt performance of LED lamps than CFLs. The association pointed out that bright market outlook has drawn many local manufacturers to branch out into LED light bulb production and build up brand name in the market. PIDA’s statistics show that there are over 20 LED bulb brands from local and international manufacturers in Taiwan’s retail channels. Taiwan’s brand name suppliers include Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd., Delta Electronics Inc., Nan Ya Photonics Inc., Wellypower Optronics Corp., Bright LED Electronics Corp., Top Energy Saving System Corp., Neo Neon LED Lighting International Ltd., Tatung Corp., China Electric Mfg. Co., Ltd., BenQ Corp., Sampo Corp., Shih Kwang Lighting & Electric Co., Ltd. and Ritek Corp. PIDA’s studies show that these suppliers are mostly supplying bulbs rated from 6 to 12 watts as replacements for incandescent bulbs rated from 40 to 60 watts, with their luminous efficacy reaching between 40 and 100 lumens per watt. Unit price goes from NT$276 (US$9.2 at US$1: NT$30) to NT$1,426 (US$47.5) for a kilolumen, vs. the NT$1,012-2,220 (US$33-74) range for each kilolumen offered by international brand-name suppliers. Beaming angle ranges from 120 to 320 degrees on the lamps both from international and local suppliers. China Electric’s vice president, S.Y. Tung, pointed out that the company has projected to ship 600,000 LED bulbs this year, around five times last year’s level. After rolling out 8W bulbs as replacements for 40W incandescent bulbs, the company plans to release 9W and 10W products in September as replacements for 60W incandescent lamps. Backed up by brisk sales of LED lighting equipment, the company scored revenue of NT$4.09 billion (US$136 million) in the first seven months, an increase of 7.92% year on year. Industry executives estimated the company’s revenue for 2012 to hit a record high of approximately NT$7 billion (US$233 million). Tatung shipped over 200,000 LED light bulbs in the April-July period this year. After selling out all of the 50,000 8W bulbs it recently introduced in only few days, the company plans to roll out 10W bulbs soon. The company’s president, W.Y. Lin Kuo, touted “2012 is Taiwan’s starting year for LED lighting.” Everlight has made a splash with its branded 8W, NT$299 LED bulbs at President Chain Store Corp.’s 7-11 stores. Delta has similar success with B&Q stores.

LED

The light-emitting device of a LED is completely embedded in an epoxy resin enclosure which is much more sturdy than the bulb and fluorescent tube;there are no loose and moving parts within the solid epoxy enclosure. This makes LEDs virtually indestructible.

Will LED Globes fit in my Current light fittings?

YES they will - LED Lights are made to simply replace your existing light bulbs using your existing fittings. Check out our LED Products page for the different types of LED Lights available and products in stock meeting your required connection type through our online store. Each product will be clearly marked with the relevant connection or fitting type (Illustrated below)

There are LED replacement globes for most types of standard lighting including: incandescent bulbs, downlights and spot lights.

The most common two connections in housing today are GU10 and MR16 connector types. All MR16 type globes use transformers, usually one per light - For LED globes to perform at their maximum, dedicated DC Constant Voltage LED specific drivers should be used.

The more traditional type globes being B22 Bayonet connection type globe, which has two side pins to connect into globe fittings and the E27 Edison connection type globe, which has a screw base now come in 10watt LED. Our 10 WATT E27 and B22 LED stock will fit directly into your existing B22 and E27 fittings.

   LED light source of the basic characteristics of 
1, high efficiency light-emitting 
       LED After decades of technological improvements, the luminous efficiency have been greatly improved. Incandescent, halogen light effect for the 12-24 lm / watt, fluorescent light 50 to 70 lm / W, sodium 90 ~ 140 lm / W, most of the power loss into heat. LED luminous efficiency will be improved to achieve up to 50 ~ 200 lm / W, and the monochromatic light is good, narrow spectrum without the issue of color filters can be directly visible. At present, all countries in the world are stepping up to improve efficiency LED light research, in the near future, its luminous efficiency improvement will be greater. 
2, less power consumption 
       LED single-tube-power 0.03 ~ 0.06 watts, the use of DC-driven, single-tube drive voltage of 1.5 ~ 3.5 V, current 15 to 18 milliamperes, the reaction speed, available at high-frequency operation. The same lighting effects, the power consumption is one-eighth of incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes half, the Japanese estimates, such as fluorescent light efficiency is even higher than twice the LED half of those in Japan to replace incandescent and fluorescent lamps in. Equivalent to annual savings of 6000 million liters of crude oil. Lights were on the bridge parapet, also an effect of more than 40-watt fluorescent lamp, and the power of each LED using only 8 watts, and can change color. 
3, long service life 
       Use of electronic radiation emitting light field, light-emitting filament burnability, heat deposition, the shortcomings of optical attenuation. The use of LED lights are small, light weight, epoxy package and can withstand high-intensity mechanical shock and vibration, not broken. The average life expectancy of up to 100,000 hours. LED lamp life of up to 5 ~ 10 years, the lamp can be significantly reduced maintenance costs, avoid the regular lights for them. 
4, strong security and reliability 
       Low heat, non-thermal radiation, cold light source, can be safely arrived in touch: can accurately control the angle of light pattern and light-emitting, light color and soft, non-glare; not mercury, sodium and other elements of the material may be hazardous to health. Built-in micro-processing system can control the luminous intensity, adjusting the light-emitting means to achieve light and art. 
5, is beneficial to the environment 
       For all solid-state LED emitters, earthquake resistance, impact resistance is not easy broken, recyclable waste and no pollution. Small light source, can mix and easy to develop into a short small thin portable lighting products, but also easy to install and maintain.

LED theory

　

Light emitting diodes, commonly known as Led. Light emitting diodes just a tiny bulbs. But don't like common incandescent light bulb, light emitting diodes no filament, and not particularly hot, it is only by the semiconductor material in the electronic movement and make it shine. Because light emitting diodes no filament would burn out, so the life is longer. And light-emitting diodes small plastic bulb makes light emitting diodes more durable, plus LED to more easily for now the electronic circuit. The traditional incandescent light and heat the process, it is a total waste of energy. Light emitting diodes of heat is very little, the light is more electricity directly to reduce the demand for power.
