Cross-strait LED companies may begin to merge and develop

According to LEDinside, a global energy research unit of TrendForce, the lighting system accounts for about 17% to 18% of Taiwan's total electricity consumption. If the LED lighting penetration rate reaches 20%, it will save about 2.56% of the electricity consumption. The generating capacity of a unit in a plant can save about 6.39% at 50%, which is about half of the nuclear four. With the continuous development of LED lighting in Taiwan, the development trend of lighting combination across the Taiwan Straits is significant.

Taiwan fully exchanges LED lights for electricity

TrendForce, a global market research organization, said that if Taiwan’s current lighting system is fully replaced with LED lighting, it will save about 12.78% of the power consumption, saving more than one nuclear plant. If 100% were replaced by LED lighting, about 12.78% of the electricity consumption would be saved, which would be close to the nuclear power plant plus the nuclear power plant's power generation capacity, or more than one nuclear power plant's power generation capacity.

If Taiwan’s nuclear shutdown ceases and nuclear plant 1 is decommissioned again in 2018, plus the decommissioning of nuclear plant 2 in 2021, Taiwan will face a severe test of power supply shortage in 20 years. Therefore, how to meet the demand for future growth in electricity consumption as soon as possible? With energy conservation and safety considerations, it is imperative to adopt alternative energy alternatives or to fully utilize existing thermal power plants and improve power generation efficiency and reduce pollution.

At present, global lighting accounts for about 19% of power consumption, and is converted into electricity consumption of up to 2651TWh (terawatt hours). If the existing most efficient energy-saving lamps are used instead of existing lighting systems, 30% of lighting can be saved. Energy consumption.

In the future, if lighting is combined with intelligent circuit environments, such as LEDS sensors and embedded power control software, it is possible to save more than 30% of energy consumption. It is estimated that by 2030, overall LED lighting applications will save more than 50% of energy consumption.

Streetlight Marking Promotes LED Lighting Development

Taiwan's LED street light replacement bids were successively bid-opened, confirming the rapid development and application of LED lighting in Taiwan. At present, the size of street lamps in Taiwan is approximately 1.8 million baht, together with LED street lamps that have been replaced in the early days, and the government released 20 in 2012. 100 million yuan street lamp tenders, it is estimated that more than 200,000 LED street lamps can be purchased. It is estimated that by the end of 2013, LED street lamps already installed in Taiwan may reach more than 300,000 tons, and the penetration rate of LED street lamps will reach 15%-20%.

It is reported that in 2012, the 2 billion yuan purchase price of LED street lamps was released. Most of the counties and cities have opened bids, but most of them have not yet been installed. It is expected that lighting will be installed one after another in 2013. As for areas such as Keelung, Hsinchu, and Chiayi, the total estimated LED lighting procurement quota is about 600 million yuan, and there is no tender, and it is expected to be carried out in 2013.

On the whole, the current number of street lamps in Taiwan is about 1.8 million, which is more than 200,000 LED street lamps. By the end of 2013, Taiwan may have more than 300,000 LED street lamps. The overall LED street lamp penetration rate is estimated to be 15%-20%. The ITRI believes that compared with other parts of the world, Taiwan’s LED street light installations are considered to be high.

However, the early LED streetlights in Taiwan adopted the lowest price method, that is, the lowest-priced manufacturer was awarded the bid. Later, because the manufacturers complained that they could not make money, they once changed to the most favorable symbol, that is, at the same time include prices, specifications, technology, and In line with the degree of localization clauses, etc., the rating of the judging project was originally intended to improve the profitability of the winning bidder, but later it still tends to win at the lowest price. Therefore, in the end this wave of LED street lamp replacement bids can bring much real profit margins for LED street lamp suppliers. It remains to be seen. What is certain, however, is that LED lighting has achieved rapid development in Taiwan through the drawing of street lamps.

Mainly in combination, LED companies across the Taiwan Strait began to develop together

With the development of the LED industry, industry consolidation and strategic alliances have also gone through 2 years. It is expected that the integration of the LED industry will focus on the cooperation of Taiwan's chip, packaging plant and the mainland lighting plant.

Considering the scale advantages of the vast LED commercial and outdoor lighting applications market in mainland China and the technological advantages of Taiwanese manufacturers, the focus of LED industry integration will be based on the combination of Taiwanese LED chips, packaging manufacturers, and mainland lighting manufacturers. Under the cooperation, second-tier manufacturers will once again face the market test.

From the lighting market perspective, the second quarter is the traditional peak season for the commercial lighting market. The packaging manufacturers are planning to introduce new specifications in order to compete with the industry. The mainstream product specifications estimated to reach volume production in 2013 will fall to 160lm/W- 180lm/W.

On January 29 this year, Taiwan LED Lighting Industry Alliance held an extraordinary membership meeting. Experts at the meeting stated that we should step out of competition in the arms race, compete for development with profitability, and provide design power instead of meeting OEM orders, in order to promote the development of the LED lighting industry. This is also the concept of competition for promoting cooperation.
