LED technology has been discovered by scientists since the 20th century, then fast developed in the mid-20th century.
For decades, LEDs have been widely used in various applications for their energy efficiency such as industrial systems, audio equipment, automotive lights, or advertising. LED technology is still moving forward. In recent years, the luminous efficiency of LED lighting has grown astonishing, reaching 130 lumens per watt or even higher, there is a trend of continuous growth in the future. Under the global energy shortage, LED lighting has become the mainstream product in the lighting market, leading to a new revolution in lighting sources.
LED Has Three Characteristics
1. High luminous efficiency, energy saving, and environmental protection, with a cold light source and other characteristics.
2. In practical applications, the easy controllability of the diode greatly simplifies life, which can accept fast switching and direct photoelectric conversion to control the light output.
3. In lighting applications, the quality control is more stringent. Including light color rendering, glare, stroboscopic index, atmosphere rendering, biological rhythm, etc.
As a major consumer of energy consumption in the lighting industry, the prospect of the LED lighting industry is to develop in the direction of green engineering.
LED Has Several Big Hopes For The Future
Realize substantial energy saving and emission reduction through lighting energy saving, and promote the sustainable development of society.
Significantly reduce the energy consumption of 1,000 lumens, In other words, a 60-watt incandescent bulb that provides 800 lumens of light could be replaced with a 10-watt LED bulb that emits a similar amount of light. That's a significant reduction in energy use! The Department of Energy estimates widespread use of LED lighting could save the US over 569 terawatt hours annually by 2035, which is equal to the output of more than 92 large power plants.
On the other hand, build the lighting industry into an energy-saving and environmentally-friendly strategic emerging industry. Focus on the development of the semiconductor lighting industry and make breakthroughs in special lighting products. Popularize intelligent control and realize low-carbon lighting;
In the future, the LED industry will more focus on sustainability and lead the green revolution in righting. LED technology is poised to become the cornerstone of a new era in illumination. By significantly reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact, LEDs pave the way for a sustainable future. This shift not only renews the lighting industry but propels it towards a greener and more responsible path.
With the gradual deepening and penetration of the concepts of environmental protection, energy saving, and green lighting, LED lighting technology, which has many advantages such as high efficiency and low consumption, safety and reliability, convenient management, and long service life, has been widely used in the lighting industry in recent years. In all aspects, it is expanding into a broader field with the development of the industry itself. At the same time, the national green lighting project and related policies directly promote the rapid development of the LED lighting market. LED lighting products will maintain a strong momentum of development and fully replace other existing lighting products.
