LED Lamps May Be Booming, but Manufacturers Say 'The Future Is Fixtures'

By -



LUX Review reported that the rise of LED is driving lighting manufacturers to shift their focus from lamps to luminaires.

At the Light + Building show in Frankfurt this week, representatives from Toshiba and Havells-Sylvania individually told Lux that the long life of LED lamps will cause a decline in demand for new lamp replacements, prompting manufacturers to seek a strong foothold in the world of fixtures.

‘Because of the life of LEDs being far greater than that of traditional lamps, we will see in the next two-to-three years that the market for lamps will grow very fast, and then continue to decline because the replacement market will not be there,' said Anil Gupta, COO of Havells-Sylvania. ‘By that time, the fixture market for LED lighting will be taking over because new buildings will all have fixtures with LEDs,' he added.

The growing market for all-LED fixtures has also encouraged change, Gupta said. ‘There is a lot of conversion – it's not just lamps and fixtures being made separately now. There is an increased focus on sales through solutions and in the future we will be selling whole lighting solutions to designers and architects.'

Francois Seguineau, general manager of Toshiba, said: ‘Four years ago we attended our first Light + Building show, and we were mainly a lamp producer. Now we've moved to fixtures – it's a normal evolution, we're using technology to make more luminaires.'

Seguineau added: ‘Moving from lamps to fixtures means we will be closer to the needs of the end user, so we are developing some special partnerships with existing companies that make high-level components in Europe. Now, some components come from Japan and others from Europe where we have other designs.'

'The moon, unlike the sun, lets you look at her, it seems she wants to be looked at', commented Paolo Di Trapani, CEO of CoeLux, who is behind the latest innovation. CoeLux Moon aims to create a comforting and relaxing ambience and less light is used to produce the final effect than the original sunlight CoeLux uses. CoeLux’s artificial skylights have rocked the industry due to their convincing reproduction of sunlight. Now the company has launched a new version that aims to be just as successful at recreating the night sky. CoeLux Moon is being launched at Euroluce 2017, which is currently taking place in Milan. ‘The moon, unlike the sun, lets you look at her, it seems she wants to be looked at,' commented Paolo Di Trapani, CEO of CoeLux, who is behind the latest innovation.

Is Dali dead?

Will the Dali protocol survive in the age of the ‘internet of things?’ Lux asked five experts to debate the future of the protocol. From left: Tad Trylski, Wayne Howell, Sam Woodward, David Mooney and Andrew Glossop Calm down everybody, Dali is not dead yet. That was the consensus in a discussion on the future of the lighting control protocol at   Lux 's Smart Lighting Controls Europe 2015 conference. Dali continues to evolve, resolve its issues and respond to the needs of the lighting industry. But even so, its fate could end up being decided by forces much bigger than the lighting industry itself, and the user could be worse off, according to one expert. ‘The IT industry will take over and make the decisions for us. They’ll make protocol changes, they’ll adopt standards and we will have to live with what they want because their market is bigger than ours,’ said David Mooney, an associate at Atkins who took part in a panel discussion on Dali.
