GE – at the forefront of innovation and industry transformation
Interview with Tomoaki Kimura, General Manager of LED – Asia at GE Lighting

As global LED industry is blooming with increasing awareness toward energy efficiency, LEDinside recently interviewed Tomoaki Kimura, General Manager of LED – Asia at GE Lighting to gain insights on his perspectives toward future developments in this industry.

LED lighting market outlook – a mixed segment

In terms of LED lighting applications, Kimura noted that currently there are other comparable light sources on the market, such as Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH) bulbs, which do offer high efficiency and long life time. Hence, the lighting market will likely be a mixed segment with a combination of different light sources, including incandescent lighting. Although LED lighting penetration is unlikely to reach 100% in the short-term, Tomoaki expects the market presence of LED lighting to reach 20~40% by 2015.
