South Korea seems to have made new progress in the promotion of LED lighting. In order to significantly reduce carbon emissions and save nearly 700 megawatts of electricity per year, the Korean government announced that it will invest $47 million to promote the use of LED lighting products. At a meeting jointly organized by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Agency in early February, Tae Won Moon, head of Korea's energy efficiency standards department, introduced the country's LED lighting certification and promotion program. The certification category includes alternatives to halogen, incandescent and fluorescent lamps.
In terms of indoor lighting, the promotion policy includes replacing 30% of all public buildings with LED lights by 2012 and requiring mandatory use of LED lighting products in new apartment buildings. In addition, it is mentioned that a labeling system similar to the LED Lighting Facts of the US Department of Energy (DoE) will be adopted.
The current requirements for high-efficiency LED lights for interior lighting in Korea are as follows:
• Constant current +/- 10%
• TDH value <30% when input power is greater than 5W; TDH value is 40% when input power is less than 5W
• PF>0.9 when the input power is greater than 5W; PF>0.85 when the input power is less than 5W
LED Lighting Manufacturers Energy Efficient Equipment Certification The above specifications are among the most stringent global performance standards.
However, the implementation of the new standard is accompanied by new incentives. For consumers switching to LED lighting, South Korea will provide up to 50% of the cost subsidy. Companies can also enjoy a 10% tax credit to reduce their installation costs.
After a year or two, when we review the progress of this plan, it will be very interesting. At the same time, let us pay tribute to the Korean government, they have taken an important step!
