LED lighting to boom in 2H13, says Ledlink

Siu Han, Taipei; Jackie Chang, DIGITIMES[Tuesday 5 June 2012]

Ledlink Optics, a Taiwan-based firm that specializes in producing secondary optical lenses for LED lighting, was listed on the OTC market on June 5, 2012. According to chairman Te-Lung Tang, the market has been vying for "the year of LED lighting", but the price of LEDs has not reached its sweet spot. The revolution of indoor LED lighting will begin when the price of 160lm/W LED lighting decreases 50%. This is likely to take place in second-half 2012-2014.

According to Digitimes Research, the CAGR of the LED lighting market from 2012-2014 is approximately 85%. According to Tang, Ledlink's orders are likely to increase with this market trend if other factors (such as the debt crisis in Europe) do not affect the economy. Currently, the penetration rate of LED lighting is around 8-10%. It is very likely the penetration rate will exceed 10% in 2012, said Tang.

The firm indicated its global market share in the LED lighting market is about 35% and the firm has more than 2,000 secondary optical lenses. Ledlink's customers include industry leading firms such as Philips, Osram and GE.

Airport officials aim to optimize energy savings while also providing a safe and well-lit parking environment for passengers.

PEACHTREE CITY, GA - Officials at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport recognized a need for upgrading the parking garage lighting that would optimize energy savings, while continuing to provide a safe and well-lit environment for its passengers. Analyzing multiple products and their performance to find the best solution, they selected LED fixtures from Cooper Lighting, an industry leader committed to delivering innovative products and driving transformational technology in the lighting industry.

Funded by the City of Atlanta Green Loan Fund, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport officials decided to replace each of the 4,342 210-watt metal-halide fixtures with Cooper Lighting's 80-watt McGraw-Edison Valet LED fixtures in its north and south parking decks. This decision would not only lead to greater energy-efficiency, but also cost savings of almost half a million dollars each year. According to the City of Atlanta's Office of Sustainability, the Airport's financial and environmental partner, the carbon reduction associated with the project is equivalent to taking 500 cars off of the road.

"Replacing parking garage lighting with more energy-efficient options is one of the most practical upgrades a city can make to save energy, reduce costs and lower CO2 emissions," said Mark Eubanks, President, Cooper Lighting. "This project has been a great opportunity to showcase how Cooper's innovative LED products can increase overall efficiencies and performance to provide a safe and well-lit environment, all while helping the City of Atlanta save almost $500,000 each year in energy costs."

Through superior optical control, Cooper's Valet LED fixtures deliver uniform and energy conscious illumination optimized to improve vehicular movement and pedestrian safety in parking structure applications. Cooper's modular LightBAR(TM) technology, featuring patented AccuLED Optics(TM) system, delivers uniform and energy conscious illumination. Both factors were key to Airport officials who hoped to improve the distribution of the lighting in the Airport parking garages while also optimizing energy savings. The Valet LED fixtures will also reduce maintenance costs as they are designed to last 50,000 hours.
