3Q15 Residential Lighting- Bulb and Downlight Market
Global LED residential market is still in a transitional phase. Despite the dim global economic outlook, rapid growth is expected in the global LED residential lighting market.
Aside from LED bulb, downlight is also gradually being applied in the residential lighting market, and has become a popular decorative lighting in the modern home. The energy saving lights can create warm ambient lighting environments, and realize compatible architectural spacing. Hence, LEDinside analysts chose downlight as one of the primary products to study in this report.
Downlights for commercial lighting and residential lighting have very different features, due to differences in operation environment. Brightness requirement in residential lighting is generally lower than commercial lighting, and fall below 1,000 lm range. Generally, residential downlights tend to use warm white color temperatures. Most LED downlights are 3-5” in size, with some global regions using 6” luminaires.
There are major differences in residential LED downlight specs and pricing in the U.S., Europe, Japan and China.
Meanwhile, in lighting manufacturer strategies, LEDinside surveyed each lighting manufacturers LED bulb planed shipment in 2015 and their residential lighting market strategies for reference.

LED Phosphor Market Focus
Looking to the next few years, LED will has increasing demands for CRI, but clients still continued to develop toward lower cost, so the LED phosphors usage volume will be stagnant as the decreasing LED volume, so that the usage volume of LED phosphors remained at about 25 metric tons every year.
Backlight applications taking up the highest proportion: If observed from the each application, since the large-size panel backlighting requires higher color gamut ratio, the phosphors in LED backlight application takes up the highest proportion, accounting for 65% in 2014. As for the lighting-use phosphors, since the lighting application still emphasizes cost-oriented, and most use standard and mid power LED, so the phosphors usage volume is not as much as that for backlighting. As for automotive application, currently only interior white LED and headlight applications require the phosphors, the proportion is still relative low, but as the white LED applications for headlights continue to increase in the future, the proportion will continue to increase.
