LED lighting demonstration project chaos caused controversy

In August 2010, the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of housing and the Ministry of transportation jointly issued the "notice concerning the organization to declare the semiconductor lighting application demonstration project, and in November the project finalists bidding. 94 lighting production enterprises to participate in the competition, the final 28 finalists. At the end of insiders leaked, to set up the demonstration project of semiconductor lighting product specifications, most are still in the state has not started. Further investigation found that involved in the tender, the successful bidder and even the owners of the demonstration project itself doubts. Losing money

Public data shows, the 28 companies have three categories of products, 50 demonstration projects including the application of 5000 or more LED (light emitting diode, a semiconductor device) indoor lighting project 20, 500 or more application of LED lamp, tunnel lamp projects a total of 30, product specifications up to 137 a. According to a rough estimate of the industry, the total amount of the demonstration project of about 60 million yuan, 28 companies each fee of about 2 million yuan.

LED lamps are affected by many factors, such as chip, colloid, brightness, antistatic ability and luminous angle, the price is as much as one hundred yuan. In particular, used in tunnel engineering, with anti ultraviolet and fire protection function, the full diffuse angle of the LED lamps, the price will not be less than 100 yuan. However, judging from the tender offer, more concentrated in 25 yuan ~35 yuan between.

Losing money. A number of LED enterprise project department official said, did not intend to make money to participate in the bidding, more is to want to pass this knock on the door, enter the list of government cooperation in the enterprise. One of the winners of the Sichuan grand Technology Co., Ltd. Ms. Mei is clear: we are taking advantage of the government demonstration project advertising effect. "

The herd is the result of many LED companies compete to lower prices, natural product quality worrying. Shanghai think twice Electronic Engineering Co., Ltd. marketing department Liu Rui (a pseudonym), said: some of the bidding companies are ridiculously low price, only a dozen yuan, as the product quality, it depends on the corporate conscience. "

Due to the quality of the lamp is difficult to ensure that some of the project owners in Hunan have given up the idea of giving up the use of LED lighting, demonstration projects in parts of the face of abortion".

The enterprises difficult to convince the public

From the demonstration project in the list of finalists can see, there are multinational companies PHILPS and Matsushita Electric in thirteen state-owned enterprises, and Langport, a listed company in Zhejiang, and reached into the sun Varitronix NVC lighting but also have the qualification, it is difficult to make the industry convinced enterprises.

About half of the company is difficult to convince the public, some of the people involved in the bidding of the person in charge of the price when he complained about bidding chaos, some successful enterprises in the industry did not even fame.

Xiamen is the national semiconductor lighting industrial bases, but only Xiamen Donglin Electronics Co., a successful enterprise. Zhang Hongbiao said that a number of unsuccessful bidding companies registered in Xiamen are more than 200 million yuan, on the strength of much more than the successful bidder.

When it comes to the quality of the enterprise, and even asked: "from large companies to buy products can win the bid, what standards? Even more incredible is that some companies have never heard of winning four or five projects. "

Subsidy standards do not understand

In accordance with the principles of the first demonstration of three ministries subsidy project, the maximum amount of subsidy for the application of interior lighting project project is 50 thousand lamps, street lamps, tunnel lights project project maximum subsidy amount of 5000. The number of subsidies for the standard, the successful companies have said, do not understand".

Shenzhen in Varitronix Co. Ltd. marketing department Zhu Xusen said, the past is according to the proportion of the amount of subsidies, according to the number of subsidies, enterprises do not know how to perform.

In addition to the subsidy standards cannot read, relates to the detailed rules for the implementation of project docking, installation, supervision and acceptance are not follow up, because some tunnel and highway projects has not been completed, lighting installation was never carried out, and even some local private demonstration projects to local enterprises.

Similar to this kind of government led demonstration projects, should be regularly announced the progress of the project, designated a special project team to guide the owners and enterprises docking, and responsible for acceptance. Zhang Hongbiao said that the three ministries of the lighting demonstration project is too hasty, follow up guidelines are almost blank.

Liu Rui said, the reason for the project is difficult to promote the government is also too little subsidies to the owners, only 6%~7%. Industry rumors, three ministries will be introduced in September led by the Ministry of Finance lighting demonstration project, but Liu Rui said it is still not optimistic about the actual effect of the project itself.
