Interpretation of Japan "Akihabara" LED lighting store to see the importance of technological innovation

Tokyo 's Akihabara electronics market has been the Japanese electrical and electronic products for supermarkets , the vane is also the product area. An array of products dazzling, dizzying. LED lighting also plays a large number of shops in the Akihabara district , when the most prosperous of all the electrical and electronic stores have LED lighting area, striking lighting attracted many buyers .

A few years ago , when the domestic LED lighting industry is just emerging , many emerging LED lighting companies have come to Akihabara to watch and buy LED lamps, and take home to study learning , in order to learn from Japan 's LED lighting technology . In recent years, along with Panasonic, Hitachi , Philips , GE and other famous enterprises in the domestic foundry completed , LED light, LED driver power supply , LED lighting design, production technology continues to leap forward , China's LED industry has become a big country . Currently, China is becoming the world's largest production base of LED industry and the largest consumer market . China wants to become the world's LED technology center , you need to develop more and better LED new technology, new products, new processes, new materials .

Akihabara Electric Town area many , many LED lighting stores have moved to side streets or back street near several shops and a few years ago are now used for other purposes . LED lighting ebb and flow trading , perhaps the performance of LED products , quality and price play a decisive role in it .

Retail LED lamp technology behind

I specifically visited several still stick to the bustling Akihabara LED lighting stores, gave me the impression that they are deserted , lit LED bulb is too hot most of the hand can not touch , LED bulb mostly 180 -degree light , some dark spots visible LED lamp , LED lights are still some slight flicker mostly · · · · · · these are the previous generation of LED products , our country is currently producing a variety of LED lighting has gone beyond that.

Akihabara is located in the main street of the house of LED lighting shop ( see Figure 1 ) , the store's LED bulb only just hot, I guess it may have been the previous generation product, I still can not see very eyes bright new products.

Although several other stores LED lighting is bright, but the product is nothing new , backward technology, low cost , Japan can not attract customers. Market competition is brutal , backward technology can not lead the market in Japan, which is a living example ! ( Figures 2 - 5 )

2-3 pm is primetime business day , Akihabara LED lamps but a desolate street , on a crowded street , LED lighting stores but no customer cares , no customers how can business do ?

LED fluorescent obvious dark spots

Many shops in Akihabara LED fluorescent display obvious dark spots (Figure 6 ) , in today's China may have been no such product. Of course , Akihabara LED lighting market is only a small part of the huge lighting market in Japan , most Japanese civilian lighting in retail convenience stores , hardware stores and the size of the supermarket . Japan's expensive labor force it will move production of LED lighting overseas , Japanese wages ten times Chinese people , Japan's price is China twice , to produce civilian population with affordable LED lighting currently only rely on China.

LED lamp prices fell market remains sluggish

LED lamp prices fell , the market is still sluggish ( Figure 7 ) . The price of each LED lighting shop and buy customized promotional lively scene scarcity form extremely uneven situation. The previous generation of LED lamps have been sold very cheap, and the power of 5W LED bulb sold 500 yen , 7W sell 700 yen , equivalent to 30 yuan and 42 yuan . Calculated according to the Japanese than Chinese prices doubled in price , has the equivalent of the price of the Zhongshan market . Probably because severe hot when lit , people are afraid to use , most of the Japanese house is made of wood structure, once LED lights overheated and caught fire , disaster is inevitable !

Technology innovation business opportunities

I'll give a few Akihabara LED lamps shopkeeper saw our boss in Shanghai, design, production of 360 -degree LED filament bulb ( Figure 8 ) , they are surprised and very interested. The 4W LED bulb filament point of no heat , they will naturally ask price and the requirements of the purchase , the price is not expensive and more to stimulate their business reverie.

LED filament lamp design , sophisticated manufacturing technology is Chinese , the Japanese market if needed , this is a good opportunity. LED light source filament is Japan's Shelter (UshioLighting) company several years ago the invention, but it has not seen its bulb products in Akihabara . At present, China 's LED filament technology and its design is different, China is a high-voltage LEDs, which consists of N LED lights beads into HVLED, its operating voltage VF = 45-150V, Current IF = 10-20mA, and therefore it is working fever low , the body and the glass bulb bulb inflatable thermal cooling rapidly. It uses non-isolated wide voltage power supply , universal worldwide. At present, the production and development of 5W or less 7-9W products . Glass bulb manufacturing technology has been used for over 100 years in the incandescent lamp , safety, technology is quite mature, and therefore shift to use LED bulb filament should be no problem. People LED bulb filament incandescent miss being welcomed , therefore , LED bulb filament may be a " massive " products.

In recent years , HVLED the birth of a new generation of a large number of innovative LED lighting products, such as the HVLED lamp beads and integration of photovoltaic power engine , and use it to design and production of LED bulb lights, downlights , ceiling , high thermal conductivity of plastics LED mining lamp , etc. These new generation of LED lamps have good opportunities in the world market demand . So grab technological innovation , there are unlimited opportunities !
