LED lighting application market development centered on "user experience"

More and more countries have formulated energy-saving and emission-reduction regulations and lighting standards, not only contributing to the development of the LED lighting application market, but also implying that LED street lamps will become the leading products in the next generation of road lighting light sources. It is estimated that with the global economic growth, the global street lamp market will show an increasing trend year by year.

According to statistics, the global street lamp market in 2010 reached 1.6 to 180 million baht. Among them, LED street lamps have become the new darling of the road lighting market with its outstanding environmental protection, reliability, energy saving, and ease of aesthetic design features. Under the promotion of China's semiconductor lighting demonstration projects and other policies, China's LED street lamp market will maintain a rapid market development rate. It is estimated that by 2012, the market size will increase from 560 million yuan in 2008 to 3.96 billion yuan, and the compound annual growth rate will reach 63.0%.

How to reduce high maintenance costs: modular + stable work = energy saving + save money

In the field of LED road lighting, high maintenance costs have always been a major problem for the industry. The characteristics of the LED itself, coupled with the complexity of different road systems, have not clearly demonstrated cost-competitive advantages in terms of manpower, material and financial resources, and costs incurred in this process compared to traditional lighting in terms of replacement and maintenance. This also led many users to think twice when choosing LED products.

Philips Lighting's GreenLED family reduces the acquisition and operating costs of users through a modular design. On the one hand, the modular design makes the combination of LED lighting products more flexible. Green owns 3 different lenses, which can adapt to road lighting in different environments through different combinations of modules, enabling LED lighting to have a high degree of flexibility. And it is not easy to waste. On the other hand, the modular design also makes it easier to maintain and upgrade the LED lamp itself, and it can be easily upgraded without replacing the entire system. It is only necessary to replace some of the aging or broken components. Replace the lamp. It not only reduces the labor cost of the lamps during the maintenance process, but also reduces the price and quantity of the spare parts and achieves real “energy saving and cost saving”. Green's use of integral die-cast aluminum, ruggedness, and excellent heat dissipation technology ensure long-term operation of the entire system.

Philips Lighting has always adhered to the concept of sustainable development. Sustainable development means being responsible not only for today but also for tomorrow. Philips Lighting uses advanced technology to ensure long-term and reliable operation of the road lighting system, reduce maintenance time and costs, and reduce the occupation of social resources. Green series products use leading technology in current lighting products to introduce humanized lighting functional density evaluation standards for road lighting in China; and the forward-looking modular design also enables users to enjoy tomorrow's technology with today's investment. With the further development of lighting technology, green energy LED will lead the lighting industry. Focusing on user experience and bringing practical energy-saving benefits to consumers will also create a bright future for LED road lighting.

Technology Innovation Centers on "People-oriented"

Now, in the LED lighting industry in China, people are concerned about the light efficiency of the chips. Generally, the higher the efficiency of the chips, the greater the luminous flux, and the higher the efficiency of the conversion of electrical energy into light energy, thus saving energy even more. Therefore, many lighting companies are taking the improvement of chip efficiency as the key to LED lighting technology. In addition, the traditional LED lighting field also believes that the higher the illuminance, the better, but ignores the contrast and fusion of light and the environment. These "technology-only" orientations do not start from the physiological perspectives of the user's visual perception. Take into account the details of the scene, such as in the dark night, the color temperature is too high for some people with poor eyesight and the elderly and other groups, it is easy to produce discomfort and affect the safety of driving or walking.

Therefore, excellent products are often the result of the fusion of leading technology concepts, technological methods, and user experience. As a diversified multinational company advocating "healthy and comfortable, high quality of life", Philips has always adhered to the concept of "Easy Light to Improve Life" and is committed to improving people's quality of life through the timely launch of meaningful innovations. In recent years, it has put forward a new concept of “people-oriented” and advocates that by listening to and observing people’s opinions, we can ensure that products can truly meet the needs of users. In view of the current status of China's LED street lamp industry, Philips took the lead in proposing that the energy efficiency of LED street lamps should use the lighting power density as an evaluation standard. That is, the system light efficiency can only be one of the product evaluation indicators, and the lighting effect and energy saving effect cannot be fully measured. The metrics of street lamps are primarily to meet people's visual needs, and energy conservation is also bound to satisfy this standard. In support of this concept and leading global LED technology, Philips has launched a series of LED road lighting products in recent years.

Taking Philips' latest GreenLED series as an example, this product measures road surface lumens/square meter fully satisfying users' requirements. It has four kinds of system light effects and an optical system designed for Chinese roads and the best chip combination, not only It can ensure road safety with sufficient brightness and illumination, and it can bring people comfortable and safe lighting experience with appropriate light colors, so that energy-saving effect and user evaluation can be optimized.
