LED Lights Overview

 LED lamp is a light-emitting diode (LED) product which is assembled into a lamp (or light bulb)
for use in lighting fixtures.
 LED lights pass an electrical current through a semiconducting material to illuminate the light-
emitting diodes that give the bulb its name.
 The lights have been proven to be more energy efficient, economically viable and long-lasting
than their conventional counterparts.
 While an LED bulb last for 50,000 hrs, it consumes 10W electricity and emits 80-100
lumens/watt, an incandescent bulb last for just 1,500 hrs, consume 60W and emits only 13
lumens/watt.
 LED lamps are best suited for signs and indicators, night lights, flashlights, undercabinet
fixtures, and some recessed light/downlight applications.
 For residential purpose, LED bulbs usually comes in the energy efficient range of 4W, 6W, 10W,
13W, 18W , 25W and 30W. (W = watts)

Key components of LED Lamp

An LED lamp comprises following

major sub units/parts:
 Secondary Optics: Secondary
optics are used to create the
desired appearance and beam
pattern of the LED signal lamp.
It is known as the diffuser
component.
 Optics or remote phosphor
effectively separates the
emitting photons, allowing
different phosphors to be
interchanged in a light housing.
This allows color temperature
to be changed simply by
slotting in a different phosphor.
 LED chip encapsulants: The
chip encapsulants provides
moisture resistance and absorb
thermal cycling stress,
protecting the sensitive
components. Their high
transmittance and thermal
stability help to design maintain
light quality over a longer time,
while their unique chemistry
offers minimal yellowing and
degradation.
 Reflector: Reflectors provide
ultra-high reflectivity for
spreading the light extensively.
 Conformal coating/white
reflection: The conformal
coating helps in moisture
control and solvent protection.
 Thermal interface/ Pottants : It helps in controlling the high temperature of the LED by
providing proper insulation.
 Adhesives for environment seals: Adhesives and sealants play a crucial role in the
structural integrity of LED lamps and luminaires, shielding electronics from environmental
stress and moisture. These products ensure components, such as module lids and base
plates, provide a secure structure base for subcomponents and larger assemblies.

Growth Drivers

Demand-side drivers
Energy efficient Smart Cities Project

LEDs unique design makes them 90% more
efficient than incandescent sources. At that
rate, LEDs can significantly reduce annual
home lighting energy bills to a very large
extend as compare to other lighting.
The GoI has envisioned a goal to build 100
smart cities (renamed Smart Cities Mission)
and rejuvenate another 500 cities in India.
The government is looking towards more
energy efficient solutions to light up cities.

Make in India initiative

Make in India campaign was launched in 2014 to attract investments in manufacturing in India.
The campaign aims to develop India as a manufacturing hub, by eliminating redundant regulations
and shortening bureaucratic processes. The initiative is expected to benefit the electronics industry
as significant investments are expected in the next two to three years.

Extended Life Government Schemes

LEDs has extra-long lifespan, shining on for
years and even decades beyond traditional
light sources. LEDs can survive up to three
times longer than compact fluorescent, eight
times longer than halogen, and a whopping
25 times longer than incandescent bulbs.
Government schemes like Ujala scheme,
Domestic Efficient Lighting Programme
(DELP) and Street Light National
Programme (SLNP) are strongly supporting
the cause by distributing subsidized LEDs.
The cost has been reduced to INR250-300.

Supply-side drivers
Preferential Market Access The GoI launched PMA policy in 2013 to focus on giving preference to
(PMA) locally manufactured electronic products in Government procurement.

Electronic Development In December 2015, the GoI announced a special EDF worth INR100
Fund (EDF) billion to help develop an R&D ecosystem in electronics in India.

It provides capital subsidy of 20% in SEZ (25% in non-SEZ) for units

engaged in electronics manufacturing.
Modified Special Incentive In July 2015, the scheme was extended till 2020 and production
Package Scheme (MSIPS) subsidy at the rate of 10% of the production turnover (ex-factory) has
been introduced for power semiconductors, OLEDs, LCD, LEDs,
manufacturing of PCBs, fabrication of chip components.

The GoI will provide financial assistance of up to 50% of the project

Project Information

Key considerations
Non-standard ratings
 Ratings of electrical equipment are not standardised and all utilities follow
their own standard ratings.
 To meet their requirements, manufacturers have to constantly modify the
design and spend resources in redesigning, etc. moreover, testing of
such electrical equipment is also time consuming and costly.

Access to Technology
 Technology expertise is one of the most critical challenge faced by the
Indian LED manufacturers.
 Leading OEMs are unwilling to transfer cutting edge technologies with
limited management control in the Indian entity.
 Even in case of Tier-3 suppliers the established companies are reluctant
to transfer the technology.

High contribution of aluminium semiconductor materials to cost

 Aluminium derivatives is one of the major raw material used in
manufacturing of LED lamps contributing more than 50% to the recurring
cost.
 Any abrupt increase in the aluminium price will adversely impact the
profitability of LED manufacturing companies.
 Although prices of aluminium have declined significantly over last
two years, any potential spike in aluminium prices going ahead
might negatively impact the profitability of industry participants.
