Specialty Lighting Market Evolving Trends: What Businesses Should Know
Companies in the specialty lighting market are concentrating on developing high-power white LEDs that leverage phosphor-on-chip technology. This approach aims to boost brightness, enhance color rendering, and improve energy efficiency, providing versatile lighting solutions for diverse applications such as automotive, architectural, and industrial lighting. Phosphor-on-chip technology describes an advanced LED manufacturing process where the phosphor material is directly applied onto the LED chip itself, rather than on a separate component or encapsulation. For example, in October 2023, Luminus Devices Inc, a US-based company, introduced the SST-12, a high-power white LED. Its round emitter design enhances beam spot uniformity compared to traditional square emitters, delivering superior brightness and color consistency within the beam. The SST-12 offers a tighter beam angle and greater beam distance, making it suitable for various uses, including portable lights and architectural lighting. With a typical efficacy of 116 lumens per watt at 0.35A Tj 85°C (3000K), the SST-12 is recognized as a premier option for energy-efficient lighting solutions.
