China: LED lamp prices continued to decline in overseas sales force

When the fluorescent powder is 10 times the price growth, energy-saving lamps cost increased sharply mark, its rival LED lamp recently because of the upstream chip price continued to fall. From a number of lighting companies learned that nearly a year LED chip from 6 yuan (hereinafter referred to as yuan) fell to 2 yuan, driven by the LED light heavy into 3, the average price of 30-100 yuan, the flat as long as 10 yuan, but the quality of dragons and fishes jumbled together.

LED lamp price approaching energy-saving lamps

Two years ago, the 1 watt LED chip price is about $3, but now has dropped to less than $1, some of the Taiwan and mainland chips cheaper, or even 3 yuan a grain. Foshan Lighting Association President Wu Yulin said. May launch of the LED chip Asahi Rui photoelectric, the relevant person in charge, probably in the past year, the chip prices fell from 6 to more than 2 yuan. "

It is understood that the chip accounted for at least 1/3 LED lamp costs, chip prices directly led to the decline in LED prices. Chip prices in recent years due to the rate of decline of about 20% per year, LED lamp prices are generally two years ago for the energy saving lamp 7-10 times, down to the recent 3-4 times. At present, the price of energy-saving lamps has been stable at 6-10 yuan, the general price of LED lights from 50-300 yuan to 30-100 yuan. Wu Yulin said that 3 years ago, he was located in Western Europe, a limited company exports to Germany, the price of a 9 watt LED lamp to $30, with the chip prices continued to decline, has dropped to $10.

Over the past year, the price of LED products generally reduced by 30%, mid-range LED lamp price is between about $100 to $300, our business in the past two months to maintain growth of 10%. "In the Great Patriotic Road business light environmental Lighting Co. business representatives Ou Jingyang said.

Chip price at the same time, the market has begun to appear cheap low-quality LED lamp. The general manager of LED manufacturers in Foshan city Songbei Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd. Luo Jianguo, the market has emerged, with 10 yuan price of the LED lamp energy saving lamp. "But the quality is very poor, LED lamp prices will certainly go down, I estimate that next year will gradually enter into the ordinary family. "

Ou Jingyang said the strong light, some manufacturers blind pursuit of low price competition, even with each 1 yuan of poor quality LED chips, sold out less than a week after a few bad, to the current LED market has a negative impact.

Analysis: the export business boom downstream manufacturers

LED light prices, the downstream manufacturers to open up the market to bring good. Wu Yulin, President of the Foshan Association of light, said the continuous improvement of LED price for its companies to expand the market opportunities. In the first half of last year to now, the company's exports of LED lamps are 100% growth, many export companies in Foshan is also such rapid growth. "

However, chip prices also increased the pressure upstream chip manufacturers. A, Xu Rui photoelectric responsible person said, "the chip price squeeze on our very large profit space".

It is understood that the first half of the government due to the implementation of the total amount of rare earth mining control. Rare earth prices led to the main raw material for energy saving fluorescent powder prices rose more than 10 times.

Now the raw materials rose so fast, but we can not increase the price of energy-saving lamps, the more the more thanks to the more, there are single do not dare to do. Zou Jianping, one of the largest manufacturers of energy-saving lamps in Foshan, said the person in charge, the cost of fluorescent lamps accounted for more than half of the cost of energy-saving lamps, the pressure can only be borne by the. Energy saving lamp cost pressure to accelerate the transformation of FSL to LED. It is reported that FSL is currently investing 200 million funds fought LED project.

Buy reminder: do not just buy LED light"

For the current market on the mainland cohabitation LED lamps, manufacturers to remind consumers to buy LED lights do not just look at the brightness.

"Because if you look at the brightness, the color rendering problem of LED may be masked. "Ou Jing Yang said, in the selection of LED lamp, in the case of electricity, according to the shadows on the wall, a good LED display is generally more uniform and symmetrical in the wall of the aperture, and there is no black spots. But some LED lamp looks bright, light will make the color distortion in the tables and chairs, consumers only need to open the light contrast LED two cases and closed, by the color of the object is "distortion" can determine the LED light color quality.
