The report entitled "LED Replacement Lamps--Market Analysis and Forecast, 2009" analyzes five LED-based lamp types that are designed to replace lamps that currently populate billions of sockets:
- A-lamps and globes
- PAR and R lamps
- MR 16s
- candelabra and decorative lamps
- linear fluorescent tubes
Dramatic improvements in commercially available LED performance in recent years, as well as significant cost reduction, has made it feasible to design LED lamps to offer comparable lumen output and to compete with other established lighting technologies on the basis of cost of ownership.
The market is in a state of flux as utilities, energy efficiency
organizations and customers look for optimum solutions which save
energy, minimize the cost of ownership, and give acceptable quality of
light.
Customers are in the process of being educated about comparing cost of ownership, rather than looking just at the initial price of lamps.
Regulations Decrease Incandescent Market
Regulations in Europe will ban the 100W incandescent clear glass lamp
starting in September 2009, and will progressively ban all inefficient
incandescent lamps by 2012 and all incandescent lamps by 2016.
Similarly, the Energy Information and Security Act of 2007 began the
process of restricting the sale of inefficient lamps in the US.
By 2012, with a few exceptions, the result of incandescent lighting legislation will be that inefficient incandescent lamps cannot be sold.

LED Technology Outpaces CFLs
Over the next five years the advantages of LED technology over
CFL will become recognized, especially with respect to the
- quality of light
- dimmability
- controllability
- lamp life
- environmental cost
of ownership
Some well-designed LED lamps already offer effective
lumen efficacies that compete with CFLs.
Commercial and industrial market segments will embrace LEDs to control costs and save energy.
In the report, the markets for five categories of replacement lamps are analyzed for market drivers and challenges, trends, units and revenues for 2008. The report also offers a five-year forecast for 2009-2013.
