LED Lighting is still an emerging product in China

China is already the world's biggest producer of lighting products, according to Avnet. However, its LED manufacturers face significant design and production challenges in meeting local demand as well as catering to international market requirements.

"LED Lighting is still an emerging product in China. However, the combination of a steep learning curve and the rapid pace of technological developments make entering the market doubly challenging." said Francis Lam, Director of Asia Marketing for Avnet Electronics Marketing Asia.

"These seminars are designed to offer insight into the latest LED technologies. They also showcase ways to speed up product development cycles and reduce time-to-market, such as by taking advantage of Avnet Electronics Marketing China's value added services which include electronic solutions, optical solutions and thermal management solutions." said Lam.

The company recently announced a construction of a new roll-to-roll pilot coating line to manufacture led high bay light within its Hino facility in Tokyo. The pilot line is dedicated to establish production technology toward mass-production and to sell the product on the limited basis. Spending 3.5 billion yen, the line will be completed in the autumn of 2010 and the product will be commercialized within the fiscal year 2010.
