LED will be applied to office lighting

At present, LED lighting market, outdoor lighting and public lighting are the best to replace the traditional lighting into LED lighting market, home lighting and commercial lighting are gradually on the road of replacement, office lighting can be said to be able to successfully scored late fortress.

T5 fluorescent lamp in the energy-saving office lighting demand is due to the office of the existing lighting, generally at home and abroad, is based on T5 fluorescent lamp, the luminous efficiency of this lamp up to 90lm/w~100lm/ w, the price is low; in Taiwan general companies do not save power, are using the traditional fluorescent tube T8/T9 specifications, relatively thick, luminous efficiency is only 50lm/W~65lm/W, can be LED lamp It is right to replace it, but the price gap is even greater. T5 fluorescent tubes are relatively thin. In addition to the advantages of high luminous efficiency, the product life span is 6,000 to 10,000 hours, which is relatively short, so it is popular among emerging office lighting markets, as well as companies that focus on energy conservation. There is also a large proportion of lighting in the office area.

For LEDinside example, the price difference between T5 fluorescent lamps and T8 LED lamps is about 1.5 to 2.5 times. Manufacturers must consider the differences in service life, differences in energy efficiency, and differences in returns.

Power system and office building contract Another reason why office lighting is introduced into the LED lamp will be relatively late. It is a problem in the power system. In the case of cost, the existing grille lamp is replaced by an LED lamp, and the external power supply is required. Modification is also a minor project.

Again, the existing office building market is mainly leased to the company by the landlord. The willingness to take the initiative to replace the lighting system is even lower. The lease includes water and electricity. If it is not included, the willingness to replace the LED lighting will be poor. In addition, whether the contract can modify the lamps and replace the lamps and lanterns system by themselves. All these have a lot of eyebrows in the European, American and Asian markets.

LED lighting in the office is actually more than imagined. Reception areas, corridors and access areas, large open-plan offices, and conference rooms all the way to the external walls of buildings and parking lots are all part of office lighting.

Replacing the main lighting of the office space is not limited to layers, but can be tapped from small places such as office signboards, lamp lighting of counters, downlights in reception rooms, indoor lighting fixtures, etc., except that it may not be subject to power system and rent. In addition to the cost restrictions, consumers’ willingness to purchase and their first impression and overall space design can be enhanced.

Price, product maturity, and return time LED lighting has difficulty in price in any market, but there are also examples of LED lights in the parking lot lighting in the office to save more electricity. For example, if the office uses LED lighting instead, the use of LED lamps is a cheaper way to replace the grille lights, but if the light uniformity is better LED flat light is also very good, the cost difference, individual companies, office The building needs assessment and absorption.

The cost of full replacement is amazing. This is why LED lighting has not been popularized in the office lighting field. To replace it with LED lighting, the cost is only two to three times that of traditional light sources. In addition to the power supply and the aforementioned lease issues, it will Reduce consumer willingness. However, if the LED luminaires are well-matched, the energy-saving efficiency is high, and the payback time can be longer or shorter, and it can be completed in 2 to 3 years. However, if your office lighting originally uses T5 fluorescent tubes, replacing it with an LED fixture for office lighting will take longer.

The good news is that in the new office building market, the proportion of LED lamps and LED panel lights is increasing. There is still a long way to go to replace the market with office space.
