Home LED lighting penetration rate expected to reach 30% in Japan

Japan is already the world's leading country with the lowest power consumption of American families are two -fold evenly Japanese family, instrumentation four times, but was not satisfied with this meaning in Japan, the Japanese in the future to produce at low cost many areas of the world to compete with developing countries, can be said to have no chance of winning, so the development of the " environment" related industries, is consistent with the direction of Japanese entrepreneurs.

Japan's economy based on industrial province intend, look forward to in 2030, so that LED / OLED bulb replacement for at least 60% of the incandescent light bulb, of course, the most important family is still occupied by fluorescent lighting high luminous efficacy and a better economic advantage, However fluorescent grow skills have peaked, while the luminous efficiency of LED / OLED is still the continuous growth of output, but down 90 % of the cost of each track for 10 years, at least a measure of this trend can be continuously 2016, therefore, the future luminous efficacy home LED lighting according to the source, is expected to continuously increase ( and thus its utilization will be broader and more power), but the price will be reduced to an appropriate stage.

Japan and the United States, Europe and other LED light source manufacturer believes that the current luminous efficiency of individual commercial home LED lighting, although only 80 lumens / watt, but 3 or 4 years 120 to 150 lumens / watt high-efficiency LED lights will be commercialized, then the entire application life products the total cost of the application cycle (light bulbs expense plus electricity) will be lower than the energy saving LED light bulbs. LED lamp manufacturers to guess the future to reach 200 to 300 lm / W in 2020 will be able to match the goal.

Japan's machinery industry based on a combination would guess, when in 2030, LED / Ohome LED lighting indoor lighting penetration rate in Japan will reach 30%, representing 20% of total electricity for lighting, in terms of energy saving and carbon reduction benefits, will be thrifty 18.7 billion kwh of electricity for the year, or 7 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

Home LED lighting optimistic vision, however, can not neglect the development of another new generation of lighting technology, discrete components that Ohome LED lighting, OLED organic light-emitting diode that is seen as the next generation continuation display technology.
