While Samsung Electronics has started a price war for its LED lighting products, Taiwan-based LED fellow makers have the competitive advantage of lower production costs, according to chairman Robert Yeh for Taiwan-based maker Everlight Electronics. Energy-saving education of consumers by the government and businesses concerned is essential to promote LED lighting, Yeh indicated. Demand for LED lighting will take off in the fourth quarter of 2012, Yeh noted. While Taiwan-based Nan Ya Photonics is poised to start automated production of LED light bulbs, Yeh holds the opinion that the LED lighting market is not yet mature enough for automated production.
