WHY LED FOR GENERAL LIGHTING

THE LED DIFFERENCE

LED lighting technology excels in almost all performance parameters

over existing lighting technologies, such as fluorescent lamp,

incandescent lamp, etc.

The technology continues to improve.

A typical comparison is shown below:

LED lamp CFL lamp Incandescent lamp

Wattage

(with light output ~450lm)

5 9 40

CRI > 85 > 80 > 99

Life time (hrs) 25,000/ 35,000/ 50,000

6,000/ 8,000 1,200

Efficacy (lm/W) 90 50 10

Power Factor > 0.7 > 0.5 ~1.0

Turn on instantly Yes Some Delay Yes

Hazardous material No 5mg mercury/bulb No

WHY STANDARDIZATION FOR

LED LIGHTING

CONSUMER AWARENESS AND CONFIDENCE

Weak public awareness of the benefits and

performances of LED lighting

Great variance in supplier / product performance is

turning away consumers

Weak correlation to existing Lighting solutions

INDUSTRY ADAPTATION AND MEASUREMENTS

Weak correlation to existing Lighting solutions

Weak in product standardization

New performance parameters / characteristics need

new measurement methods

Great variance in supplier / product performance need

standard and agreed measurement methods
