“The US macro-economic indicators — for example, GDP increasing 2.5% and construction growth of about 8% — present an optimistic outlook for the LED lighting industry in 2014,” said Dwayne Sterner, vice president of sales for North America at Seoul Semiconductor. “Demand for incandescent replacement lamps, the highest growth application, has been accelerated by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 ban on 40W and 60W incandescent lamps that took effect in January 2014. There is also a shift toward LEDs for higher-wattage bulbs driven by performance improvements of both 5630 and 3030 LEDs, in addition to offerings of 90 CRI in applications where quality of light is important.”

From a technology perspective, Seoul believes mid-power LEDs will continue displacing high-power offerings in many applications based upon significant improvements in efficacy and lumens per dollar. Sterner said the price/performance gap between 5630 and 3030 LEDs is narrowing and it’s conceivable that the 3030 package will prevail by year’s end. At the other end of the spectrum, Seoul believes COB products offer an attractive solution in downlighting applications and others. Seoul will feature both types of products in its exhibit along with modular products, including AC-LED light engines.
