MSM TECH The LED (light-emitting diode) is coming into the spotlight for its various advantages. Most of all, it is energy-efficient and environmentfriendly. Durability is up to 100,000 hours and maintenance cost is inexpensive. It contains no noxious materials such as mercury and cadmium.
Because of these innovative qualities, LED is being applied to various sectors. Particularly, LED lighting is considered one of the most promising sectors as many countries are making environmental protection and energy conservation their top priorities.
Against this background, MSM TECH has succeeded in developing waterproof emergency LED lamps for military use in 2007 and waterproof LED tubes for commercial use in 2008.
Based on this technology, the company is extending the product line into LED light bulbs, light panels and light bars & displays.
The Korean company has also developed the LED tube, ¡°myris,¡± as an alternative to standard fluorescents, and sold them in Japan as well as in the domestic market. They are compatible with existing lamp sockets and therefore permit safe and easy handling of the lights. It is sturdy and light, and features 40% lower electricity consumption while being brighter than conventional fluorescent lights.
As the demand for LED lighting is expected to be on the rise worldwide, the company plans to extend its product-line into LED street lighting and floodlighting.
According to research data from one think tank in the nation, the global LED market grows more than 36 percent annually, becoming one of the most promising sectors in the world. Particularly, advanced nations such as the U.S.A, European countries and Japan are expected to take the lead in the development of the global LED market, as about 80% of the traditional lightings are expected to be replaced with the cost-effective and ecofriendly LED lightings around the world in the future.
Some of the largest and most important overseas markets, including Japan, the U.S.A and others, are quickly moving toward eco-friendly practices. For example, some advanced nations are considering adopting regulation in regard to banning the use of fluorescent lights. Along with that, many countries are serious about promoting the ¡®green industry,¡¯ including the LED sector as their nations¡¯ primary next-generation industry. To grab a slice of this potentially massive market, MSM TECH is committed to enhancing R&D and sale capability,¡± says the company president Yim Gwang-suk.
