With the gradual maturity of LED modularization, the LED lighting industry after cost reduction will undoubtedly have a great impact on the current lighting system. Modularization will promote the LED lighting industry to reduce costs in scale, and ultimately promote LED lighting products to enter “every households”, which will play a great role in promoting the global lighting industry into the LED era.
LED modularization will become the general trend
Xiao Hongqing, a Ph.D. from the Institute of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, believes that the future direction of LED lighting should be: correctly understand its illuminance and brightness-oriented application characteristics, provide a reasonable light distribution curve, reduce glare, and improve color rendering and color temperature. And solve the heat dissipation of the LED drive circuit to achieve modularization, standardization and standardization. Coincidentally, Liu Muqing, vice chairman of Shanghai Lighting Society and professor of the Institute of Electric Light Sources of Fudan University, also emphasized that LEDs should be compatible and interchangeable in functional lighting applications, and achieve modularization, standardization and standardization.
At present, some LED high-tech enterprises represented by Changyuntong Optoelectronics focus on R&D and sales on LED modules. It is reported that the LED module is to standardize the R&D and manufacturing of LED lighting, and integrate the light source, heat dissipation components, and driving power into a unified module. Lighting companies only need to purchase the module, and then add some simple parts and modeling designs to manufacture. LED light out.
LED modularization breaks the previous LED lighting manufacturing model, so that the rules of the LED lighting game are no longer in the hands of a few players, and many small and medium-sized enterprises and even individuals can participate. Once they are aggregated, it will form a powerful The disruptive power of LED lighting will truly usher in explosive growth by then.
Engineers who do power supply do not understand optical design, and engineers who do optical design do not understand power supply. This is a problem faced by many LED lighting manufacturers. As the drafter and participant in the formulation of the second-level standard of the Guangdong Provincial Standard Optical Module Project, Changyuntong Optoelectronics integrates power supply and optical design to provide easy-to-use LED surface light source modules for lighting manufacturers. It is reported that the LED surface light source module mounts multiple LED chips on an aluminum substrate, encapsulates it with silica gel and adds phosphors, and at the same time, the constant current driver IC is also packaged on the aluminum substrate. With this structure, thermal resistance can be effectively reduced, which is beneficial to heat dissipation, thereby reducing the probability of LED light decay.
Modular design to seize market opportunities
Modularization can greatly reduce costs on the premise of ensuring product quality, and terminal products manufactured through modularization usually have obvious price advantages. After LED modularization, lighting manufacturers only need to consider the appearance design based on the module, which not only greatly reduces the research and development cost of lighting manufacturers, but also shortens the time to market for new products to seize the opportunity.
According to the introduction of relevant personnel of Changzhou Express, in the packaging process, due to the high cost of individualized manufacturing, if industrialized production and standardization are carried out, the entire cost can be reduced by 1/3. At present, Changzhou Express mainly provides modules to customers. Compared with providing whole lamps, modularization has a unified standard to follow, so everything is carried out according to the standard. This mode of Changyun Express saves a lot of links and is much more efficient than directly providing LED lights.
The modular development model of LED lighting will greatly promote the rapid development of the domestic LED industry and lighting industry, and the maturity period of the industry will come ahead of schedule. This new industrial division of labor mode is a redistribution of the original market power. The most influential people are undoubtedly companies and individuals scattered in the terminal and with keen tentacles, which will ultimately determine the direction of the LED lighting business model. When modules become the standard adopted by most lighting companies, it will not be far from the era of popularization of LED lamps.
At present, my country’s LED industry has initially formed a relatively complete industrial chain including the production of epitaxial wafers, the preparation and packaging of chips, and the application of LED products. It can be seen that the application of LED lighting products is attracting the attention of the world. As a new type of green light source product, LED is bound to be the trend of future development, bringing broad market prospects and new opportunities to the green lighting production industry. Modularization will bring more cost advantages and convenient experience to users, and will definitely become the mainstream trend of LED lighting systems in the future.
