Event Synopsis
Session 1:
"Understand the True Cost and Investment in LED Lighting System: The best practice on LED
Lighting Application"
The LED component cost is only one facet of the design and production cost for solid-state lighting (SSL) system.
Other factors that impact the overall cost, performance, and lifetime of general lighting products include the
suitability of components for the lighting application
The solid-state lighting (SSL) industry has focused on LED component cost as the key to lower upfront costs for
broader SSL adoption. Still, there can be hidden system-level costs and reliability issues tied to the selection of LED
components, which SSL developers must understand to deliver products that perform well at installation and
throughout an extended life.
With the rapid development of LED introduction as a new light source for lighting system, which promise given
better energy saving, low maintenance and longer life span. Many owner, authorities, engineers and traders have
little experience on LED lighting system and application. Hence, owner, authorities and engineer caught in the
negative situation and promises.
Understand the right standard for the LED safety and performance with the lighting application standard for
measurement, calculation and code of practice is need. The LED technology and standard have developed to ensure
the lighting design is toward safety, energy-efficient and economically applied.
A good lighting will create a comfort visual environment that enable people to see, to move about safely and to
perform visual task efficiently, accurately and safely without causing undue visual fatigue and discomfort.
LED Technology and standard evolves rapidly, we hope that the authorities, engineers and stakeholders involve in
the LED lighting industry have a better understanding and knowledge in applying the right standard and practices
with the real value of the LED Lighting system.
