Lighting Industry in Vietnam Current Status Lighting for various purposes and uses accounted for around 30 to 35% of total electricity consumption in Vietnam. The total electric consumption for Lighting by sector: Residential lighting, 46% Commercial lighting, 35% Industrial and outdoor, stationary lighting, 19%
Lighting Industry in Vietnam The Market for Indoor Lighting The current stock of indoor lighting lamps in Vietnam is estimated at around 220 million. It is further estimated that of all the indoor lighting lamps installed, 60 million are incandescent, 80 million fluorescent tube lights (FTL), 60 million CFLs and the balance is some other special types. The annual sale of lighting lamps is estimated at 140 million lamps, with 50 million incandescent, 60 million FTL, 30 million CFL. Rang Dong in the North and Dien Quang in the South are the major producers of indoor lighting lamps in Vietnam. The annual sales trends show that the sales of CFLs and T8 lamps have consistently been growing and they are replacing incandescent and T10 lamps.
Lighting Industry in Vietnam LED Technology The LED lighting technologies for general purpose lighting are still very new in Vietnam. Currently the LED based lighting products are used largely for ornamental use. With growing awareness about GHG emissions, there is a great demand for LED lighting products. The Vietnam government, through MOIT and MOST has commissioned a number of studies, to investigate prospective future of LED lighting technology as replacement of other conventional lighting technologies in Vietnam. These studies have primly established the world and local market demand and supply of LED lighting technologies, identified the barriers and put forwards the recommendations on the proper LED lighting technologies need to be transferred and applied in Vietnam.
Lighting Industry in Vietnam Trend of Lighting Industry Target by 2015: Street and alleys (street width > 2m) lighting: 100% of equipment used for lighting newly constructed streets, public areas and advertising are energy efficient; and Use of advanced dimming, remote control equipment and renewable energy (solar, wind) for lighting systems is encouraged by government. Target by 2025: Street and alleys (street width > 2m) lighting: 100% of equipment used for public lighting are energy efficient; 30-50% of public lighting projects will use renewable (solar) energy.

Lighting Industry in Vietnam Barriers of promotion of EE lighting products Local lamp manufacturers: Product quality is not good: short life time and low luminous efficacy. Material quality is not under control: phosphor powder, content of charged gas. Lack of measurement in production line. Quality control Lack of testing laboratories that are acknowledged as international laboratory in research activities, testing of parameters of lighting products, quality certification and labeling of lighting products. Local people awareness of ESL benefits, especially in rural area, is inadequate. Policies on phasing out ILs as well as encouraging ESLs are
