U.S. Review of TBT Notification for LED Lamp Test Procedures

According to a study by the US market research institute Freedonia, it is predicted that the US lighting market will reach $25 billion by 2016. Demand for lighting fixtures in the United States is expected to increase by 7.4% per annum, reaching $25.1 billion in 2016.

The US TLED Notification Council for LED Lighting is mainly for the United States recently released the TBT (Technical Barriers to Trade Agreement) notification (G/TBT/N/USA/698), which specifies the measurement of LED lumens. Methods of output, input power, and relative spectral distribution. In addition, a method of measuring the luminous flux maintenance rate of the LED light source is also specified to predict the rated life of the LED lamp.

It is understood that these regulations are closely related to LED lighting products, and the United States is one of the major export markets for LED lamps in China. In 2011, China’s exports of LED lamps to the United States reached 10 billion yuan. Once the US notified regulations are officially implemented, it will have a greater impact on China's LED industry.

Lighting products include non-portable and portable devices, as well as separately sold parts and accessories, such as after-sale lamp ballasts, accessories, switches, etc. The demand for lamps is mainly from non-portable devices, accounting for the demand for total lighting in 2011. Nearly two-thirds. Non-portable luminaires are mainly used in a wide range of applications in building and vehicle applications. It is expected that by 2016, thanks to the full rise of construction activities and the increasing demand for vehicles, the demand for non-portable devices is expected to increase in the later stages.

It is expected that the demand for non-portable luminaires will almost double between 2011 and 2016. Throughout the major market segments, lighting brands with reduced energy consumption will have the best growth prospects. This can be largely attributed to the demand for energy-efficient lighting products in the Energy Independence and Safety Act of 2007: restrictions on the sale of incandescent lamps. These regulations will work to promote the demand for fluorescent lamps, halogen lamps, high-intensity discharge lamps, and LED light sources.
