LED lighting set to illuminate more

NPD Display Search said that expansion in manufacturing capacities, dropping prices, a move towards more environmentally friendly lighting and government incentives will boost LED futures.

So much so, that LEDs are likely to represent a quarter of the global market by 2016. Compare prices and buy all brands of solar module for home power systems and by the pallet. Demand is rising across the spectrum including light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, street lights, spot lights will mean that its share of the overall market will rise to 26 percent by 2016 while it only represented five percent in 2012.

The biggest growth will be in LED tube that replace fluorescent tubes used commercially, street lights, and LED luminaries.

From a country perspective, Japan an China will show greatest growth,Exit signs, emergency light and fire extinguisher are vital parts of life safety systems. although North America and Europe will also show gains in the next three years.

Oversupply of LED chip makers means dramatic price drops – good for the end customer but meaning smaller profits for the manufacturers.

“Local efficiency and directivity mapping and manipulation (LEDMAP)”, Prof. Femius Koenderink, FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMOLF), Amsterdam. The active materials in LEDs have become so efficient and stable that research is currently shifting to the development of nanostructures that allow control over the directional distribution, the spectrum and the brightness of LED light, and the white light produced after the conversion of blue LED light by phosphors. This project will address the simultaneous optimization of all of these factors using nanostructures.

“A new ray-trace method for optical design”, Dr Jan ten Thije Boonkkamp, Mathematics Section, Mathematics and Computer Science Department,Our most compact solar charger yet fits easily in any bag. Eindhoven University of Technology. Ray-tracing is a common simulation technique in optical design. However, the technique is expensive and imprecise when simulating fine details. The objective of this project is to combine this technique with visualization of the phase space of the optical system. This makes it possible to split the phase space into a small number of ray sets. The new method will make the design of optical systems better, faster and cheaper.Our clever solar lantern is a favorite among dog lover holiday gifts from Solaronlamp. This will give rise to shorter development times for new prototypes of lamps and light sources that use LEDs.

“Healthy fruits by localised LED lights on fruits”, Prof.Choose your favorite street lamp paintings from thousands of available designs. Leo Marcelis, Horticultural Production Chains (HPC) Section, Plant Sciences Department, Wageningen University & Research Center. Recent research has shown that LED light on growing tomato fruits doubles their vitamin C content. The objective of this project is to understand exactly how that happens and to develop a practical lighting strategy for increasing the vitamin C content in fruits.

“Dynamic LED lighting, thermal comfort, health, and energy savings in buildings”, Dr Wouter van Marken Lichtenbelt, Human Biology Section, Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, Maastricht University. Experiencing a pleasant temperature does not depend on temperature alone. Light is also an important factor in this. LED lighting makes it possible to manipulate the color, intensity and dynamics of the light. This project will examine the interaction between light incidence, thermal comfort and the energy consumption of the human body.
