Taiwan & China look to create unified LED light technical standard

The Taiwan LED Lighting Industry Association (TLLIA) signed a letter of intent with its Chinese counterpart in Guandong province on a proposal to jointly promote a unified technical standard for LED lighting products.

TLLIA Chairman Frank Chien hailed the agreement with the Guandong LED lighting Industry Innovation Center as a “good start” for the development of both Taiwanese and Chinese LED industries, because Guandong province controls 75 percent of China's entire LED lighting outputs.

A unified industry technical specification, which covers the production of the electrical system for LED lamps, will be able to help reduce production costs by 20 percent to 30 percent, Chien said.

According to Chien, the LED lighting industry has for a long while needed a unified standard, the lack of which led to various factories producing LED lighting devices as per their individual specifications. As a result, the market was stocked with unreliable and premature products, he said.

Besides, unlike traditional lamps that are produced with separate bulbs and holders, LED lighting devices are manufactured under the premise that the lighting source and power supply units are inseparable.

Consumers can do nothing but replace an entire set of LED lamps with new ones when the power supply component is damaged, which leads to a wastage of resources, Chien said. Power supply is often the part that goes wrong first in an LED lamp.

“Once we have an unified specification, we will be able to come up with a resolution to the problem,” he added.

The TLLIA, which consists of more than 40 members, all of whom are core enterprises of Taiwan's LED industry, is a nonprofit organization devoted to the development of strategies for relevant enterprises to break through trade bottlenecks in the LED market.

Taiwan's LED lighting industry had an estimated output value of US$1.69 billion in 2012. (By The China Post)
