technology is also opening up the possibility for lighting

One factor holding back earlier adoption has been price. Although LED lights can last up to 50 times longer than an incandescent bulb, upfront costs have been prohibitive, so far. As production capacity rapidly rises and the rare earth metals yttrium, europium and terbium have fallen in price, the cost of manufacture has come down, speeding uptake.According to Tasman Metals, a mining company in the sector,led flood light present many advantages over both incandescent and compact fluorescent light sources, including lower energy consumption, longer life, improved robustness, smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability.Rare Earth Phosphor-based LEDs have an expected life of 50,000 hours and some are sold with five-year warranties, but so far the capital cost has inhibited uptake as quickly as the industry hoped. But overcapacity is forcing manufacturers to drop prices and raw materials, in the form of rare earth elements, have dropped to a third of where they were a year ago, according to the MetalMiner IndX.
The unique combination of rare earths and semiconductor technology is also opening up the possibility for lighting, at least LED lighting, to mimic sunlight and colored tones rather than the harsher tones of conventional bulbs, which in turn opens up possibilities for lighting to be so much more than just a utility service.Lighting manufacturers may be going through a competitive period of re-adjustment, but REE demand will benefit from the growth of an industry with plenty of potential.Vali LED Table Lamp is designed as the prototype robot called “Vali”. It shows in form of a square box when gathering up, while a smart and lovely “Vali” comes out when pulling out the light heads. The two LED light sources (2*1W) are just like his eyes, also can be adjusted in 360 degree.

DEKRA understands well ErP Directive has strict control requirements from R&D, manufacturing, sales to final recovery, which is manufactures’ challenge, but more than that is an opportunity. It requires our products meet not only safety requirements, but also efficiency & performance.Facing on the queries for ErP Directive, DEKRA held a Review of New led high bay light Directive Regard to Ecodesign Requirements for Directional Lamps, LED Lamps and Related Equipments Seminar in Shenzhen on Nov.30, 2012. Many well-known manufacturers of lighting products, global retailers and their suppliers took an active part in the seminar, like, Philips,ORSAM, Innovation, GIFI, Kingfisher Sourcing Organization suppliers, and so on.Especially for Kingfisher purchase department, they pays highly attention to standard update and inform their suppliers to attending training.
