LEDs ♦ news digest
The door entrance ledge lets door strips radiate in light, activating as soon as the car door is opened
The so-called “wallwasher” bathes larger areas of the interior, for example vehicle pillars or the foot room, in the desired light, and the spot with its flexible light guide is ideal for accenting lines inside the vehicle, and also brings light to inaccessible, tight or intermediate spaces.
Support for sales
Osram supports dealers with special advertising material. A video is available that demonstrates to customers how simple it is to install the LEDambient modules, and also the light effects in the vehicle, as well as a special floor display.
The display shows the complete range and offers information about the individual products. It links directly to the list of cars compatible with the door entrance ledge via QR code. This compatibility list is also made available to dealers by Osram as a printed flyer.
Super high power LEDs to be in 50 percent of lighting shipments
By 2017, revenues for LEDs in lighting applications are expected to reach a total value of $13 billion
According to “The Market for High-Brightness LEDs in Lighting Applications,” report released by Strategies Unlimited, revenues for LEDs in lighting applications, which includes both replacement lamps and luminaires, are expected to have a CAGR of 30 percent and reach a total value of $13 billion by 2017.
The chart below shows the market growth for LEDs in Lighting by major region.
Efficacy improvements are continuing to take place in the market as well, with the average efficacy of commercially available LEDs for lighting applications increasing to greater than 100 lumens per Watt for 1W packages while multichip arrays reached efficacy of 200 lumens per Watt.
LED efficacy is no longer the gating factor for LED applications – cost is. Lighting Applications have seen a variety of different packages used over the last year, including arrays, high CRI, tighter colour bins, directional, multi-directional and high voltage LEDs.
Strategies Unlimited reports that the growth rate for LED package units and revenues are both expected to be in double digits for the forecast period. According to Smallwood, “While growth in the market can be attributed to improvements in the technology and decreases in its price, the largest penetration increases seem to be coming from government mandates that either restrict incumbent lighting technologies or push the usage of LEDs.”
HB-LEDs saw a precipitous fall in prices over the last
One of the largest impacts of these regulations will be seen in 2014 in the United States, as the implementation of the Energy and Independence Security Act of 2007 is phasing out 60 and 40W incandescent A-lamps.

While prices for all LEDs are decreasing, the increased penetration of these SHP LEDs (which have a higher price) is raising the overall ASP for all packaged LEDs.” The graph below represents the growing market share of Super High Power (>5W) LED packages in the coming years.
several years, which helped reduce the price of LED lamps and luminaires, but this decrease in prices has been slowing down in recent times.
According to Philip Smallwood, Research Director of LEDs and Lighting at Strategies Unlimited, “ASPs of packaged LEDs are declining at a slower rate than previous years, as super high power LEDs increase in the market.
