Solid-State Lighting MarketThe use of HB LEDs for lighting is currently the fastest growing applicationThe market is highly fragmented, encompassing many niche applications
The majority of applications are for colored (R,G,B) lightGeneral illumination applications are starting to emerge
Hundreds of companies worldwide are participating at the luminaire or fixture level
Strategies Unlimited has identified and described approximately 300 such companies, but there are moreParticipants range from start-ups to the world’s largest lighting companies
1414
HB LED Lighting Market
The 2006 market for HB LEDs used in lighting was $205 million
Architectural is the largest
Growing at around 37% per year – the highest of any HB LED applicationProjected to reach ~$1 billion in 2011Majority of applications use RGB today, but white will increase to more than 60% of the market by 2011
1515
Status of SSL Fixture IndustryMany small companies dedicated to SSL; high level of LED expertiseMany large and medium lighting companies, with some interest in SSL, offer a few products
Most lack in-house LED expertiseRely on outside consultants for design, prototyping
Volumes are small and costs are high, independent of high cost of LEDsProducts in the market are highly variable in terms of quality
1616
SSL Market DevelopmentMost product and market development is being carried out by small, specialized companies
With a few exceptions (e.g., Philips Lighting, Zumtobel)
Generally, large lighting fixture company interest is modest (but interest is growing)
In-house LED expertise is minimalEuropean companies moving faster than U.S.
Established lighting companies control the access to large-volume sales and distribution channels and customers
1717
SSL Market DriversVisual appeal
Saturated colors, nearly point source of light, design flexibility
Long lifetime, robustApplications with high maintenance costs
Compact form factorLack of radiated heat or UVLow-voltage operationEnergy efficiency
Colors, low wattage applications (e.g., battery and solar-powered), low-temperature operationImproving rapidly

Retail Display LightingWhite LEDs are being used to provide attributes that are advantageous for certain types of products:High-end retail (e.g., designer label branded stores)
“High-tech” look; interesting effects; design flexibilityCosmetics
Lack of radiated heat from sourceJewelry
Sparkling appearance from point light source; compact; low heat;long life
Refrigerated display casesMore efficient than linear fluorescents at low temperatures; rapid start-up; long lifetime

Refrigerated Display Case Success Story
Wal-Mart adoption of LED refrigerated display case lighting from GELcore was the SSL “story of the year”Installing in all new Sam’s Club and SuperStores from Dec. 2006, ~300 per year in U.S.
Part of Wal-Mart’s “green” strategy
Drivers are energy and maintenance savingsCan use occupancy sensors to turn off lighting during low traffic periods (impossible with fluorescent due to slow start-up)
Other supermarket chains are likely to follow Wal-Mart’s lead

Essential Design Principles for LED Light Engines
1. Don’t waste photons
2. Don’t waste electrons
3. Be cool
2828
ExamplesEfficient DesignStart with 70 lm/W 1-W white LEDs (at 25 °C junction temperature)Assume: 90% electrical efficiency; 90% optical efficiency; operate at 65 °Cjunction temperature
Light engine efficacy = 70 x 0.9 x 0.9 x 0.85 = 48 lm/W
Inefficient DesignStart with 70 lm/W 1-W white LEDs (at 25 °C junction temperature)Assume: 80% electrical efficiency; 80% optical efficiency; operate at 100 °C junction temperature
Light engine efficacy = 70 x 0.8 x 0.8 x 0.75 = 34 lm/W
