New trends in green lighting: LED lights and induction lamps compete

LED lights have a tendency to "striking the city", and other new energy-saving lamps have also shown courage to enter the market. “Induction lamp as a new type of energy-saving product has attracted more and more attention and has gradually become a trend product of green lighting. It has been adopted in more and more energy-saving renovation projects.” Shanghai Hongyuan Lighting Appliance Co., Ltd. Chairman Li Weide said. When low-carbon, green, and energy-saving become the consensus of the whole society, the changes in the field of lighting industry will follow. Energy-saving products represented by new light sources such as LED lamps and electrodeless lamps will replace traditional lighting sources and compete in the green lighting market. It is understood that the induction lamp integrates light, electricity and magnetic technology into one, which is a new generation of illumination source using IC integrated circuit. Because it changes the principle of illuminating from electric energy into thermal energy and then into light energy, it directly converts electric energy into light energy, thereby saving a lot of energy consumption by thermal energy.

From the current market awareness analysis, the electrodeless lamp is far from the LED lighting. LED lighting has long been recognized as a new direction for the future development of light sources in the industry. Major lighting companies have also invested heavily in LED lighting product research and development, and LED lighting products are also very rich in the market. However, the market's awareness and penetration rate of the electrodeless lamp is relatively low. Only a few companies have invested in the research and development of the electrodeless lamp product, and the lamp products matched with the electrodeless lamp source are also scarce, which seriously affects the application of the electrodeless lamp in the market. And promotion. "The biggest obstacle to the current development of the electrodeless lamp is ultimately that the market for the electrodeless lamp is not popular enough, and the owners are not fully aware of it," said Li Weide.

As two types of energy-saving products that lead the Chinese green lighting market, LED lights and electrodeless lamps will be better in the future market competition. The industry has been arguing over this.

In terms of price, LED lamps and electrodeless lamps are expensive compared to conventional lamps. Since the chips of LED lamps mostly use foreign technology, the price is not low. Although the electrodeless lamp is slightly higher than the traditional lamp, but because it can adopt the energy contract management mode, the user can input “zero” in advance, so it is favored by users.

Technically speaking, the electrodeless lamp and the LED lighting adopt different technical methods, but the product life and energy saving effects of the two are not far behind.

From the perspective of the applicable type, there is a division of labor between the LED lamp and the electrodeless lamp. Due to the small power of the LED lamp, the high-power LED lamp used in the engineering project cannot be compared with the electrodeless lamp; likewise, in the low-power landscape lighting, Indicating lighting and display, the electrodeless lamp is not as good as the LED lamp. "In functional lighting, the electrodeless light source has obvious advantages over the LED light source." Li Weide admits that LED lights in the functional lighting field have low light efficiency, large light decay, poor heat dissipation solution and poor product consistency. And other defects. The emerging light source of the electrodeless lamp has the advantages of high luminous efficiency, small light decay, and instant start in the functional lighting field.

From the perspective of technology maturity, the quality of domestic LED products is still not perfect, and the core chips of most enterprise LED lights are imported from abroad. Compared with the LED lamps subject to foreign patents, the patents related to the electrodeless lamps are firmly in the hands of domestic enterprises. At present, about 90% of the electrodeless lamps in the international market are made in China, and the production technology of many induction lamp lighting enterprises has reached International advanced level.
