  • LED照明产业持续发展要从渠道建设下功夫

    ledlszm
             是中国LED产业发展的分水岭。这一年，LED景观灯被大量运用到北京奥运会场馆建设中，如梦如幻的视觉盛宴至今仍令人历历在目。近几年来，国内LED景观灯产业迎来了发展的春天。在全球金融危机的冲击下，各行各业都或多或少受到了影响。然而，LED照明灯产业不仅没有受到影响，反而在国家4万亿元投资的强力拉动下呈现出直线上升的态势。而据相关部门初步估计，我国的LED照明灯行业产值已经突破了1500亿元，相比200...

  • LED照明市场现实和理想的差距还有多远？

    ledlszm
             对于目前业界认为LED照明灯具设计主要存在散热的问题。虽然存在用风扇、开口等短期方案，但解决LED景观灯应用的根本方向是提高光效，相同亮度，光效相同提升时，亮度亦相对提高。由于LED亦属半导体，受制于摩尔定律，效能将定期得到极大提升。谈到LED的市场应用，有人认为方向应该是智能化、创新化照明。因为原来用户装修前须先想好灯具安放处，智能化照明充许用户把灯放在任何位置，无论点光或面光。 &nb...

  • 中国LED照明国际市场表现活跃 创新成为出口支柱

    ledlszm
               印度市场，目前印度80%LED照明灯产品从中国进口，在印度市场上，LED照明灯室外运用空间巨大，而印度政府正考虑把传统的照明系统转化为环保节能的LED照明系统，预计印度LED照明灯市场年增长率将达41.5%，并将一直持续到2015年。在南美，真明丽从去年开始即已逐步加大对以巴西为首的南美LED照明灯市场的拓展开发力度，目前巴西中心城市圣保罗市的第一条LED景观灯工程，隧道是整...

  • 照明行业新宠LED灯具发展的三个阶段

    ledlszm
             随着LED照明灯具的逐步发展，在亮化工程辅助照明等公共场合，LED渐渐替代了一些传统光源产品。LED初期是由单色光为主，虽然功率小，价格高，但其可靠性高，控制性强，体积小，所以最先兴起的市场是电子器件指示灯。随着LED照明灯具的逐步发展，在亮化工程辅助照明等公共场合，LED照明灯具渐渐替代了一些传统光源产品。 2009年，LED景观灯具开始在发达国家进入主照明普及。市场对LED景观 灯具产...

  • LED灯具调光技术和市场未来发展潜力

    ledlszm
             LED照明灯具的调光技术主要有三种，这三种调光技术都是根据LED驱动电流输出端的控制来分类的。控制电路也可以分为模拟控制和PWM控制，控制电路通常是通过微控制器来实现的。        1  调光方式为通过调节LED驱动电流来实现LED景观灯的调光，因为LED照明灯的亮度与LED驱动电流成定比例关系。 &nb...
