Balance of LED light source product design

[Source: LED Engineering's "good products LED" magazine September issue of text / Zhang Xinxiong] LED lighting is booming, attracting many powerful companies are rushing this will soon become a rising star of the industry, now also makes LED lighting practitioners The number of people reached an unprecedented number. Many large-scale enterprises, product designers are hundreds of people, various ideas are constantly being manufactured every day, but in the end, what design will be left after the market's training?

Lighting has a history of hundreds of years, but the structure of lighting fixtures that are truly left behind and accepted by the public are numerous, such as tungsten (incandescent) lamps, fluorescent tubes, energy-saving lamps, halogen lamps, and so on. Excluding some applications in professional lighting (such as automotive lighting), we can say that these widely accepted designs have been used until now because they have reached a "balanced" state.

What is the "balanced" state accepted by people? Personally think that it is the balance point between the manufacturer and the customer in the price, service life, optical performance parameters, ease of use and safety of the lighting products. Now due to the increased demand for use and government incentives, smart compatibility and energy efficiency must also be considered. Speaking of LED lighting design, there are really many things to consider! Moreover, these factors affecting the sense of balance of the luminaire design are often mutually exclusive, and the fish and the bear's paw cannot be combined.

First of all, in terms of price, I think everyone agrees that the price of LED lighting will fall again. I don’t know how many manufacturers have tried to reduce the cost. However, today's industry mostly reduces the performance parameters (20W 1200 lumens LEDT8 tube), and even more to reduce the material quality to reduce the price (using the side BIN ultra-small size chip), which will make the product development into the inability to improve the malignancy In the cycle, it is unfavorable. On September 1st, the restrictions on European ERP certification will have an impact on many manufacturers, which is a good illustration of this problem. If most of the LED lighting products exported to Europe are focused on performance, what impact? Personally think that the best way to reduce costs should be to simplify and innovate the structural design, and fully familiar with the limits of material use and to use the efficiency of individual materials, to achieve the maximum performance of the overall performance of LED lights on the most economical basis, In this way, a benign design "balance" can be obtained.
