SunSun also will benefit from being a member of the end-to-end value chain of GSR Venture’s LED portfolio companies, which include EPI on silicon substrate, high power chip packaging and innovative power electronics companies. “In five years, SunSun could become a world-class solid state lighting company,” Wu added. “This is the most important reason why we decided to do this deal.” State-of-the-art lighting has emerged as a robust and fast-growing clean tech sector, Wu said. LED bulbs last 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs and reduce energy consumption about 80 percent. The U.S. Department of Energy has estimated that switching to LED lighting over the next two decades could save the United States alone $120 billion in energy costs and reduce the electricity consumption for lighting by one-fourth. The U.S. is giving this and other technologies a boost by raising energy standards for light bulbs, signaling the eventual phase-out of the traditional incandescent bulb. LED bulbs have fallen in price but are still far more expensive than alternative bulbs, typically $30 to $45 apiece. Although they will have to fall substantially more in price to truly penetrate the general lighting market, increasing venture capital investment in LEDs could well make this a reality. SunSun Lighting is GSR Ventures’ sixth investment in LED-related companies and its tenth in energy efficiency companies. It has also invested in LED companies LatticePower Corporation, Lattice Lighting, Dalian Golden Sanwei Technology, Shineon and Times Energy Corp. Its other energy efficient companies are C3Nano, Clean Focus, Sierra Solar and Sinowyde Energy Technologies. SunSun complements the LED portfolio as a “downstream” general lighting company. Other companies focus on the sale and service of high-powered LED heat-dispersion modules, for example, or in the development of ultra-bright LED devices. “There is huge market potential for solid state lighting,” Wu said. “If traditional lighting could be replaced by LED technology, it would be a $300 billion market globally in a few years.” About GSR Ventures GSR Ventures is an early stage venture capital firm focused on building world class technology companies, primarily in China.
