Asian consumers to dominate LED replacement lamp market
Lamp manufacturers will continue to benefit from the oversupply of LED governmental subsidies. The LED replacement market unit growth rate is expected to be the highest in China at 44% CAGR
Market research firm Strategies Unlimited’s report, “LED Replacement Lamps Market Analysis and Forecast”, projects unit growth of 30% in 2012 – 2016 for LED replacement lamps. The global market is anticipated to grow from $2.2 billion in 2011 to $3.7 billion in 2016. The revenue growth will be moderated by a forecast 14% per year decline in the average selling price. The research covered LED lamps that are used in existing sockets and serve as replacements for legacy lighting sources in residential and commercial indoor applications. On the supply side, manufacturers will continue to benefit from the oversupply of LED sand governmental subsidies that aim to advance the adoption of LED lighting. On the demand side, the LED replacement market units growth rate is expected to be the highest in China at 44% CAGR. In 2011, the LED replacement A 19 bulbs were the highest selling product with Japan leading the number of units sold. Sales of PAR LED lamps and LED MR 16 were driven mostly by commercial applications in developed economies. However, this trend will be reversed as the construction sector recovers in developing countries. LED replacements for linear fluorescent lamps yielded the highest units sales numbers in China and Japan; between 2010 and 2011 the average selling price declined at 23%. The U.S. and European markets yielded fewer sales due to stricter requirements for product quality.

with new Cetero module The Cetero SLM will offer light output ranging from 800 to 2300 lumens across multiple colour temperatures all in one common form factor Bridgelux is introducing the Cetero Spot Light Module (SLM), a compact high flux density light source.
The company says it delivers clean and consistent white light without pixilation and is engineered to comply with the upcoming Zhaga spot light module specification.
Bridgelux is an active member of Zhaga, an industry- wide cooperation aimed at the development of standard specifications for the interfaces of LED light engines.
The Cetero SLM will offer light output ranging from 800 to 2300 lumens across multiple colour temperatures all in one common form factor. Its mechanical compatibility with the upcoming Zhaga interface specifications will ensure interchangeability and a modular product platform that will expand luminaire design options for our customers.
With more than 180 members from the lighting industry, Zhaga is a global consortium aimed at ensuring interchangeability of LED light sources from different manufacturers.
Adherence to this design specification allows for design flexibility and a future proof upgrade path for both OEM customers and end users, addressing market concerns regarding the rapid evolution of LED technology and delivering on the promise of sustainability.
“Bridgelux remains committed to providing customers with leading-edge LED technology in a package that simplifies their design efforts and reduces product development risks and costs,” says Jason Posselt, vice president for channel marketing at Bridgelux.
“We believe that working with Zhaga to help develop common standards will help pave the way for accelerated adoption of solid state lighting technology. The Cetero, with its simple bolt down installation and wire connection features, combines the high quality of light benefits delivered by Bridgelux LED arrays with a simple to install standardized interface to help speed time-to-market.”
The Cetero modules will be available in 2700, 3000, 3500 and 4000 colour temperature options - all providing a minimum 80 CRI and 3 SDCM colour consistency and leveraging the production proven Bridgelux ES product family.
Three lumen categories will be initially available, delivering operational lumens of 800, 1100, and 2000 lumens all in a common light emitting source area to enable compatibility with secondary optics. The Cetero SLM will be commercially available in late 2012.
Bridgelux showcased its latest products at Light+Building in Frankfurt, Germany during April 15-20, in the company’s booth located in Hall 4.2, stand J31.
