LED lighting took off this year, and one of the major kinetic energy is the replacement of street lights. In the case of Everlight, which won 100,000 street lamps in Taiwan last year, revenues reached NT$800 million. It is estimated that the number of global streetlight installations will increase fourfold in the next five years, including Europe, the US and China. LED street lights are encouraged to be installed by policy, but the most potential is still in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and West Asia.
In the next five years, the demand for LED street lamps will increase by 4 times. The listed companies of Taiwan LED street lamps include Yiguang and Delta. If they are not listed, they will have professional manufacturers such as Hexi and Guanglin.
Ye Haofu, the chairman of LED packaging and lighting brand Daguang, said that governments in various countries have realized the energy-saving effect of LED street lamps and installed them to save electricity immediately.
In the United States, 600 street-mounted LED street lights, in the United States, under the Revitalization and Investment Act (ARRA), both subsidize LED road lighting projects and encourage the use of locally manufactured products in the United States. According to LEDinside data, as of the end of 2013, 600 cities in the United States have prepared or have installed LED street lights. New York City announced that it will replace 250,000 LED street lights by 2017, saving electricity and maintenance costs of 14 million US dollars per year. Year back.
In Europe, there are 20/20/20 carbon reduction and energy saving targets, which are implemented by each country; for example, the London City Government recently announced that it will replace 35,000 LED street lights before 2016, when the penetration rate will approach 70%. As early as 2009, China proposed the ten-city plan, but because there is no national standard, the quality is uneven, the street lights are frequently broken, and the progress is behind Europe and America. Currently, the installation progress in the rich city is fast, such as the six major cities in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province last year. The LED street light is installed with 300,000 baht.
In Taiwan last year, 250,000 street lamps were installed in 5 Dudu County, and 800,000 street lamps were still to be replaced. The price was calculated at 8,000 yuan per unit, and the business opportunity was NT$6.4 billion.
The demand in Southeast Asia and the Middle East is the biggest. However, the largest market is still in emerging regions such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America, etc. At present, there are no national standards for LED street lamps in these countries. Taiwanese companies have experience in the 5 benchmarks in Taiwan. Output local.
The LED industry said that although the 5th street lamp in Taiwan can focus on revenue, the profit is not good, mainly used as a model for exploring foreign markets. Last year, the original cost was 8,000 yuan for the lamp and the maintenance fee was 5,000 yuan. Later, the county and city governments removed the maintenance fee of 5,000 yuan. Recently, the future streetlights have been issued. Due to the lack of government finances, manufacturers may first bear the cost of construction and then amortize the electricity bills saved annually.
Hu Yaozu, deputy director of the Institute of Green Energy of the Industrial Technology Research Institute, pointed out that the new street lamp standard is still under discussion and has not yet been finalized. He said that Taiwan has a complete LED supply chain. In order to assist manufacturers to attack the global market, ITRI put forward the world's first LED street lamp standard in 2008, and promoted it to Poland, Thailand, the Philippines and other countries. The street lamp power supply specification allows Taiwan's street lamps to have a standard heart, and manufacturers can reduce costs.
