Price Pressure Pushes LED Package Manufacturers Move Towards EMCs

The trend in lowered prices in the LED market has not changed. With LED chip prices expected to drop substantially in the next few years, packaging is also facing pressure to lower costs. According to current LED component costs, package costs make up 60 percent of the overall cost. U.S. DOE estimates that LED package costs will drop 50 percent by 2016. Advantages in Epoxy Molding Compound (EMC) lead frames in galvanizing high electrical currents, having UV resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures has draw the attention of package manufacturers.

LED Lighting Fixture for Energy Saving on Project

This week, LED lighting fixture has a greater development in the international and domestic range of LED lighting applications. Philips will upgrade 25 garage LED lamps on Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority; Cree will cooperation with Shenzhen Cosmos to lit Hangzhou Zhijiang Bridge by LED lamps; Chongqing Yubei district installed 5427 units LED street light, compare to the traditional lighting fixture, 50% energy saving.

Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority garage

The time, Philips led lighting upgrading for the garage involve 13,000 LED lamps, it can be reduced 68% per year or 15 million kilowatts hours of energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions also will be reduced by 1.1 million metric tons, and provide real-time data. Philips lighting solutions as will be monitored and maintained, the funds will be obtained through energy saving
