LED改造燈突破

　　改造燈具的設計者面臨著一些照明挑戰，這些挑戰以尺寸、發光效率（每瓦流明）、熱量問題和成本要求為中心。因此，LED組件制造商繼續開發新的包裝樣式和技術，以提供更好的光提取和提高轉換效率，這也有助于降低成本。

　　驅動的增長機會在照明市場LED背光增長減弱部件制造商，只有2.8%，或5億2000萬燈，186億燈的總出貨量在2013預計將使用LED技術，根據市場研究公司IHS，因此，供應商必須解決產品開發問題的巨大激勵改造。總體而言，IHS預計未來五年LED照明需求將帶動營收增長25億美元。

　　Particularly in the consumer retrofit lamp market， one of the barriers has always been the cost of the lamps， according to Paul Scheidt， product marketing manager at Cree Inc. The company‘s message is lower-cost LEDs without sacrificing quality as a way to achieve cost goals. “You need a lamp that looks and performs like the product that is being replaced，” Scheidt said. “You can’t expect people to downgrade their lighting experience and pay more for it.”

　　“That has been one of the challenges，” Scheidt added. “Technically， how do you continue to reduce the cost of the system without sacrificing the look or performance of the lamp within the whole system？”
