LED tube: modularization, gradually becoming a trend
The "modularization" of LED tubes has attracted the attention of enterprises and has gradually become a trend.
"How to better the cost and price of LED tube products?" When the semiconductor lighting market is at the critical point of its explosion, the industry's demand for product price reduction is becoming more and more urgent. Some analysts believe that the market structure of the LED lighting industry is similar to that of the mobile phone market a few years ago. The introduction of a modular package solution may realize the standardization of LED lighting R&D and manufacturing, resulting in a new industrial division of labor.
According to industry insiders, the current status of semiconductor lighting fixtures is the integration of light sources, lamps, electronic components, etc., which brings difficulties to mass production, makes the cost of products high, and products from different manufacturers cannot Interchange, it is difficult to repair when failure occurs during use. Introducing the R&D and manufacturing of light engine modules, that is, modules composed of LEDs, drivers and optical components, and at the same time formulating standards between various LED tube interfaces, can well meet the individual needs and large-scale needs of the market. The contradiction between large-scale production, and brings convenience to the maintenance of the product. "If the LED tube is modularized and the corresponding interface standards in the lamps are unified, it will lead to large-scale manufacturing and production, and it will be conducive to a rapid cost reduction. At the same time, more traditional lighting companies can directly purchase light engines and use LED tube modularization. The rapid development and production of products in the production method. Therefore, the development of interface standards between the light engine module and the LED tube module has become an urgent issue."
However, people in the industry also have different opinions on the modularization of LED tubes. They believe that the current modularization of LED tubes is more about the modularization of lamps than the modularization of the light source, and the modular design and the characteristics of the LED light source itself are not suitable. In some places, for example, LED tube lamps and lanterns will have changes in light decay after working for a period of time. If there is a failure, when the module is replaced, it will be prone to large differences in brightness and color temperature in the same LED tube lamps. If it is used in traffic Lighting will affect driving safety...Considering the characteristics of LED itself and the real state of dynamic development of LED technology, the most suitable form of LED lamps is still the integral type, but LED tubes should still be used on some common components. Unification, such as the unification of key parts such as the mounting bracket, basic size and form of LED tube lamps, will help solve the current uniqueness of LED tube lamps and relieve owners of worries about the long-term supply of products when using LED lamps.
