Is the medical LED light source market a blind spot for domestic companies?

Replacing traditional light sources with LED light sources for medical lighting is an important aspect of energy saving and emission reduction and product upgrading in the current lighting industry. In China, lighting products used in the medical field, except for indoor and outdoor functional lighting fixtures, belong to the category of medical equipment, and the entry threshold is high. The products of the production enterprises must be approved by the State Food and Drug Administration. General LED lighting companies are not suitable for the medical industry. And companies with medical device qualifications do not quite understand the characteristics of LED lighting, thus forming a blind spot, allowing foreign products to enter the virtual.

In recent years, GE, OSRAM, PHILIP and Japan's Toyota, Toshiba and other multinational companies have invested heavily in the development of LED medical lighting and phototherapy products. They occupy a large international market share of traditional light source medical equipment and have the right to speak in the market.

From the United States, the purchase of a double-headed hernia surgery shadowless lamp is priced at 200,000 yuan, and the price of the German Martin's shadowless lamp is as high as 600,000 yuan. On the one hand, these multinational companies continue to produce traditional products; on the other hand, they actively promote the development of LED medical products. As early as 2004, the United States, Germany, and Russia began to use LED shadowless lights.

It can be seen that the localization of light source equipment in the medical field is very urgent, which is one of the effective ways to reduce the medical burden of patients.

Semiconductor lighting technology can provide a total solution for hospital energy-saving retrofits. In the LEDization process of medical lighting, the overall solution, namely dedicated lighting and general lighting, inspection, treatment and functional lighting upgrades can be used to achieve substantial energy saving and reduce lighting costs. Moreover, the localization of phototherapy equipment and light detection equipment can greatly reduce the expenditure of both doctors and patients.
