The price goes to the people's LED into the hotel lighting "just need"

[Source: Gaogong LED's "LED Lighting Channel", 2013, Issue 4 (Total Issue 40) Reporter / Xiong Yuheng] As an important component of commercial lighting, hotel lighting is paying more attention to LED lighting companies.

In addition to providing the necessary functional lighting, the star hotel's appeal for lighting is to create an atmosphere, to set off the atmosphere, and to perfectly interpret the hotel's cultural connotation and fashion taste. Therefore, the star hotel lighting system often has the characteristics of a variety of lamps and a large number of lighting, long lighting time, high lighting costs, the need for energy saving and consumption reduction is relatively urgent.

In the past two years, as LED prices have gradually moved toward the people, the investment cost of LED lighting has been significantly reduced. More and more star-rated hotels have begun to use LED lighting to upgrade their lighting systems. The LED hotel lighting prospects are clear.

Bai Wanjun, design director of Beijing Bafan Bamboo Lighting Design Co., Ltd. mentioned that in their hotel lighting design, the proportion of LED lighting fixtures has reached more than 40%.

However, in the context of the lack of industry standards, market chaos, and poor product quality have become a consensus. Some hotel owners used LED lighting for energy-saving renovation in the early stage, and they walked through many detours, even when they had inferior LED products, which made their attitude towards LED lighting more cautious.

Energy saving "just need"

According to statistics, the average area of ​​star-rated hotel buildings has an energy consumption of 202kwh/m2, which is second only to 223kwh/m2 of lighting in shopping malls. It is a veritable energy-consuming household.

The high cost of high energy consumption has made many star hotel operators miserable. Previously, a hotel owner mentioned to the Gaogong LED reporter that “in the cost of hotel lighting, the cost of electricity is the highest, accounting for more than 90% of the cost of hotel lighting, which has far exceeded the cost of lighting and manual installation. The cost of maintenance".

Anqiang, secretary-general of the China Hotel Investors Association, said that high lighting costs and dilute operating profits have become the most headaches for star hotel owners. In order to control operating costs and pursue profit maximization, efforts must be made to reduce energy consumption in lighting.

Due to the urgent need for energy saving, some star hotels have begun to replace traditional lighting with LEDs.

“Last year, we have replaced LED lighting for areas with more energy consumption, and the energy saving effect is remarkable. Next, we will upgrade the entire hotel lighting system,” said Zheng Hongzhao, executive general manager of Dongguan Park Hyatt International Hotel.

Xu Changcai, director of brand promotion of Seaton Lighting, believes that the high luminous efficiency and long life of LED make LED lighting an irreversible trend in replacing traditional hotel lighting. It is understood that Sidon Lighting is a well-known five-star hotel lighting solutions and lighting providers in China. "This year, our LED lighting shipments accounted for 30% of the company's total revenue." Xu Changcai mentioned.

Huang Yumin, director of Guangzhou Guangying Space Lighting Design, said, “Since last year, the proportion of LED lighting used in the renovation of star-rated hotels is gradually expanding. Currently, in the hotel projects made by Guangying Space, the proportion of LED applications has accounted for 50%.”

Li Xuliang, chairman of Qinshang Optoelectronics, believes that LED energy saving rate can reach more than 60% compared with traditional lighting. For star hotels, it can save millions of dollars in lighting costs every year. LED has become an energy-saving renovation of hotel lighting. Preferred. Due to the huge potential of the hotel lighting replacement market, hotel lighting is expected to become the focus of LED lighting enterprise development in the next few years.

There is a bruise

In the past two years, the price of LED lighting has fallen sharply and has begun to move toward the people. However, according to the reporter, this decline is limited to the low-end market, and the decline in high-end LED commercials is still limited. The high cost of renovation in the early stage is somewhat unacceptable for star hotel owners. Therefore, the high price is still a serious injury to the scale of LED hotel lighting.

Xu Changcai mentioned that although the hotel owners know that LED energy saving, but the LED related concept is still in a relatively fuzzy state. Therefore, the current LED hotel lighting promotion is mainly in the designer and enterprise, and the hotel owners are mostly passive. Usually, the LED input is about 2.5-3 times higher than the traditional lighting. Due to the large base, the cost is still quite high.

“Although the energy saving effect of LED lighting is obvious, the investment return period is too long.” Xu Changcai mentioned that it takes about two years for the hotel to recover the input cost. Many hotel owners are reluctant to risk, which leads to limited sales of LED hotel lighting.

In addition, star hotels have higher requirements for lighting, in addition to the necessary functional lighting, but also to create an atmosphere, to enhance the atmosphere.

"In order to create a warm, peaceful home atmosphere for the customers, the star hotel lobby, aisles, guest rooms and other areas, the use of lighting is mostly warm white and yellow, due to technical and standard limitations, LED lighting is difficult to achieve." Zheng Hongzhao mentioned that the LED lighting fixtures used in the Baiyue International Hotel in the early stage were difficult to achieve the desired results due to differences in color temperature. In addition, due to the problems of light decay and color temperature drift of LEDs, many lamps emit light and even have a bluish and greenish phenomenon.

Standard first

“Currently, most star hotel owners have a positive attitude towards LED lighting, and LED is being accepted by the market”. Li Xuliang believes that although LED hotel lighting still has obstacles such as high prices, poor products, and lack of standards, these problems can be effectively solved in the near future.

Take the price that the hotel owner cares most as an example. In 2012, the average price of Qinshang Optoelectronics 5W bulb was about 40 yuan. Now the ex-factory price of the light bulb has dropped to 15 yuan, and the market price is about 25 yuan. Compared with the price of traditional energy-saving lamps, this price is close to the range acceptable to consumers.

In response to the lack of lighting standards for star-rated hotels, Qinshang Optoelectronics International Hotel Leaders and a number of hotel associations, hotel associations have established a forum for hotel green lighting and energy-saving standardization, and launched the establishment of star hotel lighting standards.

“Standards can only be targeted at specific LED lighting products, but it is difficult to set hotel industry standards.” Bai Wanjun believes that due to the difference in star ratings, each hotel has its own unique energy-saving needs, and the choice of lamps There will be differences. However, the establishment of standards can guarantee the quality and performance of LED lighting products from the source, eliminating the worries of the owners.

With the rapid expansion of the LED hotel lighting market, more LED lighting companies will participate in the future. In order to enhance the competitiveness of their products and seize market share, enterprises will inevitably work hard to reduce costs and improve quality, and provide star hotel owners with truly efficient, energy-saving and green LED lighting products, and promote the scale of LED hotel lighting.
