In 2016, the demand for more than 200 million filament lights will be launched at the touch of a button.

In the situation that the overall demand for LED lighting slowed down in 2015, the filament lamp was like a torch before dawn, re-igniting the fire of LED recovery.

“The GGII survey data shows that the global LED filament lamp market demand reached 70 million in 2015, a year-on-year increase of 367%.” Senior Industrial Analyst LED Research Institute (GGII) senior analyst Li Shengfa was in the “2016 High-tech LED National Tour” The research activity - the special seminar on filament lamps, said that GGII expects that the global LED filament lamp market demand will reach 220 million in 2016. In the next three years, with the increase in the automated production of LED filament lamps, production will rise rapidly.

The demand is growing so fast, and the popularity of the filament lamp is self-evident.

This is also evident from the fiery scene of the special seminar on filament lamps held yesterday. The check-in that was scheduled to start at 1:30 pm, just after the time, the conference has already taken a large number of people. Just three minutes after the check-in time, the original location of the venue was full, even if three rows of positions have been added. At the beginning of the meeting, there are still many LED business people who can only stand in the aisle and doorway to listen.

Li Shengfa said that GGII statistics show that the global LED filament lamp market reached 1.19 billion yuan in 2015, a year-on-year increase of 294%. It is estimated that the global LED filament lamp market will reach 2.9 billion yuan in 2016. GGII believes that the mature LED filament lamp market will remain at around 8 billion yuan.

The market for filament lamps is so hot that it will surely trigger a conference war. The victory of the battle for filament lamps depends on many factors.

Zheng Liyao, general manager of the high-yield production research institute, said that the "five factors" will determine the success or failure of the filament lamp assembly war.

“The five major factors of patent, innovation, cost, channel and automation are the most important.” Zheng Liyao believes that patents are necessary for the export of filament lamps to European and American markets. If there is no patent, the order is unstable, which is easy to cause complaints; The key to survival, business model and distribution channels are the source of long-term development of the company. The filament lamp enterprise has clearly defined its position and can develop quickly and well; and the degree of automation will determine the cost and quality of the filament lamp enterprise, which is a must for future survival.

The scale and cost price have become a sword across the head of the filament lamp. Mulinsen, which has just acquired the filament lamp manufacturer Xinhe Lighting, undoubtedly has the most say.

“At present, Xinhe Lighting has a monthly capacity of 8 million. By the end of 2016, the monthly production capacity will be expanded to 16 million.” Mr. Bao Ronghua, Assistant General Manager of Mulinsen Co., said at the special seminar on the filament lamp that Xinhe Lighting has its own unique Production process and product quality control, testing technology to ensure the production of filament lamps.

According to Bao Ronghua, Xinhe Lighting adopted the patent of Ruidisheng's filament lamp, using Taiwan's Jingyuan Optoelectronics chip, and using INTEMATIX phosphor for LED filament package.

As the first of five key factors in the final battle of filament lamps, the importance of patents is unquestionable. As a company with many patents for filament lamps, Rui Disheng will naturally not miss this special seminar on filament lamps.

Professor Rui Chongguang, senior technical consultant of Ruidisheng, said that the 360-degree full-circumference of the filament lamp can completely reproduce the lighting effect of the incandescent lamp, and is the only ideal LED lighting product to replace the incandescent lamp.

"The key technologies of LED filament lamps include LED filament design and manufacturing technology, filament lamp glass bulb sealing technology, and stroboscopic constant current driving power supply technology. These key design and manufacturing technologies are filament lamp manufacturers. Professor Yan Chongguang believes that the filament lamp has been recognized by the world market, the technology of the filament lamp needs to be standardized, and the related patents of the filament lamp need to be recognized by the manufacturer and seller of the filament lamp.

LED filament is the most critical part of the filament lamp, and its quality will be enough to determine the pros and cons of the filament lamp product. LED packaging manufacturer Hongli Optoelectronics has also been studying for many years in the field of filament packaging.

"At present, the filament substrate mainly includes a metal substrate and a transparent substrate such as glass, sapphire and ceramic. Both have advantages and disadvantages." Jiao Qi, manager of Hongli Optoelectronics, believes that the metal substrate has high thermal conductivity and low cost, and does not require secondary "Plate", the process requirements are relatively low, but the metal substrate is opaque, the light effect and the illuminating effect are slightly worse than the transparent plate; the transparent substrate has a relatively low thermal conductivity, and the transparent plate has high light efficiency and good illuminating effect. However, after the package is completed, the transparent plate needs to be soldered at both ends. The transparent plate is a connecting structure, no dispensing process is used, and the rear section needs to be cut.

Hongli Optoelectronics has also introduced a variety of LED filament packaging solutions to meet the needs of filament lamps.

Glue is an important filament packaging accessory. The special filament glue is relatively higher than the ordinary glue. Many glue companies have also launched their own filament glue, but the products are uneven and the quality is difficult to guarantee.

"At present, there are many problems with LED filament glue, such as poor temperature resistance, large expansion coefficient, and long shelf life." Tian Bin, director of marketing of Jieguo New Materials, said that LED filament rubber should first improve brightness and temperature performance in the future. The improvement is second, the power is increased, the temperature is increased, and the expansion coefficient needs to be stable. At the same time, the change of LED filament glue light decay is small, and it is necessary to change the storage and transportation mode of LED filament glue.

In December 2013, Jieguo New Materials launched the first generation of Jieguo filament glue 6042. In the first half of 2014, the 6042 was fully upgraded to 6048, and successfully entered the high-tech Golden Globe Award. In the first half of 2015, Jieguo New Materials launched the 602-14 filament adhesive, which once again received good market feedback. At the beginning of this year, the latest generation of 6037 series of Jieguo filament adhesive was officially launched, which has better temperature resistance and no need for cryopreservation.

Also optimistic about the filament lamp market is IC giant Ming Microelectronics. It is understood that Mingwei Electronics has a variety of filament lamp ICs such as linear constant current and switching power supply. In addition, since this year, Mingwei Electronics has launched a filament lamp IC for the European and American dimming market, further enriching the products to meet market demand.

"Ming Microelectronics is very optimistic about the filament lamp market this year, and has also introduced a variety of filament lamp power solutions." Li Zhaohua, general manager of Ming Micro Electronics, said at the seminar on filament lamps that the filament lamp is not dimmed linearly. The constant current solution supports AC 120V/220V, lightning strike is higher than 1KV, has extremely low peripheral cost, and has high integration, and also has built-in high voltage MOSFET.

The thyristor linear stroboscopic scheme introduced by Ming Microelectronics also attracted the attention of many companies at the seminar.

When it comes to filament lamps, you can't help but mention the stellar Gaohong. The new Sanban listed company established in 2011 has developed into one of the largest manufacturers of LED filament lamps in China.

"In the future, the procurement subject of filament lamp orders will evolve to brand owners, and their purchasing behavior will be more rational, and more emphasis will be placed on the comprehensive advantages brought by many factors such as product, delivery, scale, quality, cost, etc., rather than simple quick response. “The stellar Gaohong deputy general manager Lin Feng believes that in the future, factories with certain scale and quality accumulation will gain more market share, and some speculative small enterprises will gradually withdraw from the LED filament lamp market competition.

Lin Feng said that at present, Stellar Gaohong has 35 automatic filament light bar packaging production lines, with a monthly output of 10 KK filament production capacity; 6 automatic filament lamp sealing assembly production lines, with a monthly output of 1.8 million filament lamps.

Although the filament lamp market is hot, from the current point of view, the filament lamp is still mainly exported. GGII statistics show that in 2015, China's LED filament lamp exports were 13.7366 million US dollars, an increase of 197.13%.

Filament lamps are exported to European and American markets, and certification is the threshold that cannot be passed.

Incentive testing focused on the North American market testing certification focuses on the access standards for filament lamps in the US market at this special seminar on filament lamps.

"The strict market access and sampling system in the United States has left many people still standing outside the market." Zhang Hong, deputy general manager of the survey and testing, said that the difficulty in the entry requirements for LED filament lamps in the US market lies in temperature rise and volume, and bulbs. Drop test, light intensity distribution, lumen maintenance test, etc.

For example, the drop test of a light bulb usually requires that the human hand cannot touch the live parts after the drop test; the requirement of the light intensity distribution is that the average change of the intensity measurement value of the 0-130 degree area of ​​the omnidirectional light does not exceed 60%, and does not exceed 20%. The average change in light intensity measurements exceeds 35%, while the 130-180 degree region is not less than 5% of the total luminous flux.

As many guests said in the round-table dialogue session of the filament lamp special seminar, although the filament lamp market is hot, it is not easy to make a filament lamp product. In order to make the filament lamp enter the consumer faster, the cost of the filament is certain. To be down, companies should focus on improving product quality and real performance to avoid disorderly price competition.
