    European LED commercial lighting market value to increase by 7 times - May 30, 2012 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Market News

    May 25, 2012 // Christoph Hammerschmidt

    According to a report from market researcher LEDinside, the European LED lighting market's rapid growth is attributed to the energy-saving awareness and high electricity prices in Europe, especially the latter. For example, if a 7W LED light bulb (a replacement for 40W incandescent light bulb) is used for eight hours a day for a month (31 days), it can save 8 kWh compared to using an 40W incandescent light bulb. With the electricity prices of EU-27, US$2 can be saved every month by adopting a LED light bulb instead of incandescent one

    As for the future of LED, the market research company expressed "high hopes" for LED commercial lighting's prospects. Given the global anti-nuclear trend and no room for the electricity prices to dip, the energy-saving demand will only climb. LEDinside predicts that LED price will see a drastic drop starting from 2012 and expects the value of European LED commercial lighting market to reach US$1.9 billion by 2015, seven times more than that in 2011.

    LEDinside, the LED research division of market research company Trend Force, indicates that more money can be saved by adopting LED lights in the outdoor and commercial lighting sectors due to their high electricity consumptions. LED light bulb's lower wattage and higher thermal dissipation efficiency will result in better energy-saving efficiency. Thus, high electricity price is one of the most important factors that really spurs European LED lighting market's growth surge.

    As for the indoor lighting, European lighting market is mainly dominated by Philips, Osram and GE. In particular, Philips and Osram dominate the trend in European LED lighting market; they continue to put efforts into traditional lighting market and channels, but in the meantime, they have been developing their LED products. European LED lighting firms take a more scientific stance on manufacturing LED products, with emphasis on LED components' color temperature, brightness and beam angle.

    According to LEDinside, in terms of the color temperature for indoor lighting, Europeans prefer warm white, yellow light (2500K-2700K), while for the commercial lighting they prefer around 3,000K with CRI being above 80.

    It is very easy to buy 10W (and lower) LED light bulb and candle light at convenient stores and supermarkets in Europe. However, LED still has a long way to go before it reaches wide adoption in the household lighting market; currently, LED lighting is mainly adopted by new buildings and luxury houses, the market researcher finds. LED lighting fixtures prices are still much higher than those of traditional lighting products, not to mention that at present, LED light bulbs cannot replace traditional ones in terms of beam angle. For this reason, regular consumers are still conservative about using LED lights in their households.

    Acuity Brands Lighting 1 Lithonia Way Conyers, GA, 30012, USA

    Acuity Brands Launches the ROAMview Lighting Control System, Extending the Company's ROAM Roadway Technology into Site and Area Lighting

    The ROAMview system provides property owners and small municipalities the ability to efficiently manage outdoor lighting using a wireless monitoring and control system.

    ATLANTA - Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE: AYI; "Company"), a market leader in innovative energy-efficient lighting and controls solutions, introduces the ROAMview(TM) lighting control system, an expansion of the Company's ROAM suite of industry-leading wireless outdoor lighting monitoring and control systems. ROAMview features a pre-configured server and software package that can be easily deployed in smaller site, area or roadway applications such as car dealerships, shopping malls and campuses.

    The ROAMview system allows property owners and small municipalities to efficiently operate and maintain their outdoor lighting by taking advantage of the optimal lighting performance, energy savings and reduced maintenance costs that the ROAM technology suite offers. With its pre-configured server and gateway, the ROAMview system simply connects to a user's existing computer network, enabling control and monitoring from any computer within the user's organization.

    The intuitive, browser-based portal provides ease of control for grouping outdoor lighting fixtures, and easily applies customer-defined schedules for precise on/off and dimming. Events or holidays that require specific lighting patterns are conveniently accommodated in the ROAMview portal's simple drag-and-drop time-clock scheduling screen.

    "With the addition of the ROAMview system to our product line, we can now offer all property owners a powerful suite of capabilities and features similar to those used by large municipalities," said Terry Utterback, Acuity Brands Lighting Vice President and ROAM Value Stream Leader. "Without trenching a single foot of wire, they can go from circuit-based control to individual fixture control. The system tracks and reports individual fixture performance, and reports outages so that they can be quickly addressed. It eliminates the need for night-time audits, the waste of day-burning lights and the elevated risks associated with lighting outages."

    The ROAMview system is simple to install and commission. Wireless ROAM nodes are installed on each fixture, attaching to an industry-standard NEMA twist-and-lock receptacle. As soon as the pre-configured server and gateway are energized, the system can begin to form its self-configuring, self-healing mesh network. It takes only a few hours to set up fixture groups and begin controlling lights.
