COMPARISON | Induction LAMPS | LED |
Market Potential Size | Induction lamps can replace most of conventional light sources in functional lighting fields, so its potential market size will be huge. In addition, the incandescent lamp will be phased out in many countries in the very near future, so there will be a big space for energysaving light sources development. | Although LED has many years of history, it only can be used for the traffic signal, vehicle rear lights, LCD panel back-lighting, display lighting because of lower lumen efficacy, lower wattage, and less lighting fixtures accommodated. It will take a lot of time to develop large wattage model of LED in order to apply LED in the functional lighting fields |
Economy | With the development of large-scale production, Induction lamps’ cost will be reduced much | The higher cost of LED will be kept for many years, so its wide application will be limited. |
Energy-saving | Induction lamps can save up to 50% of energy consumption than LED, because Induction lamps’ efficacy is 30% higher than LED and lumen depreciation rate is lower much than LED. | LED will consume much more energy than Induction lamps because of its lower efficacy, higher lumen depreciation rate. |
Application | Can be used in the industrial, commercial, roads, tunnels, bridges, gardens and parks, agricultural, advertising lighting. | Can be used in the traffic signal, vehicle rear lights, LCD panel back-lighting, display lighting. |
Functional Lighting Application | Induction Lamps can be widely applied for diversified functional lighting application. It is commercialized quickly around the world. | Because of lots of barriers for LED’s R&D, it will take 5~10 years for LED to be applied widely in the functional lighting application. |
Technical Specification | 1. Wattage:15W~400W 2. Efficacy:>80 lm/W 3. CRI:>80 Ra 4. CCT:2100K~6500K, All range. 5. Lumen depreciation:5%@2000hrs 6. Lifetime:>100,000 hrs 7. Heat output:much lower 8. Fixture accommodated easily 9. Linear light source:no glaring and flickering, better light quality |
1. Wattage:0.5~50W per each. Big wattage output needs hundreds of LEDs。 2. Efficacy :<60 lm/W (white LED) 3. CRI:>80 Ra 4. CCT:narrow range(white LED) 5. Lumen depreciation :>50%@2000hrs 6. Lifetime:<50,000hrs 7. Heat output:much higher 8. Fixture accommodated hardly because of heatreleasing design and reflector design 9. Spot light source:glaring concern |
