LED lighting industry praised

Lighting industry in Zhongshan began to enter the field of LED lighting industry in 2003, now the industry chain has been extended to the indoor and outdoor decorative lighting, commercial lighting engineering, also extends to the package, accessories and other links, LED lighting industry has formed a dynamic agglomeration and accelerate the development of the situation. But the reporter visited found that LED lighting products exist difficult to promote, no price advantage, lack of core technology and other issues. In this regard, the industry suggested that there should be targeted to invest in LED core technology research and development and brand building, to ensure the healthy, stable and sustainable development of the industry.

Narrow application is currently used for road lighting

Xiaolan Titan lighting is the world's third largest LED lighting production enterprises. According to its chairman Tang Shiquan introduction, the company's products are all exported. "LED commercial lighting applications only exist in some of the developed cities in China, such as large commercial, entertainment facilities, construction or road lighting project, and in foreign commercial applications are more extensive. In Europe and the United States, where the quality requirements for LED and product added value is relatively high, which is in line with the performance of our products. "

Ancient town economic and trade office director Huang Zhitong feel the same. He said that the current town for LED lighting applications, mainly in the street. LED because of its high prices, ordinary consumers are difficult to accept. Therefore, now mainly rely on government procurement. The town has more than 20 thousand street lamps, which have been replaced by LED street lamp accounted for two or three, the next step, the town government will also increase the intensity of the replacement, to ensure that the LED Street fully open. "

The high price of ordinary consumers difficult to bear

Reporters in the light of the district in an interview found that, 5W incandescent bulbs priced at 6 yuan to 8 yuan; 5W energy saving lamp is about $15, while the 3W LED spot price was more than 80 yuan. In this regard, many consumers said, LED spotlights price is too high, in contrast, the energy-saving lamp is more cost-effective.

In this regard, there are businesses in order to attract consumers to buy LED lighting, but also the price of these 3 kinds of lighting and power consumption publicity comparison, said the biggest advantage of LED lighting energy saving. Although it is six or seven times the price of ordinary lighting, but it is power saving, power consumption is only ordinary light bulbs of 1/5. However, many consumers do not buy it.

Innovation ability is low lack of core competitiveness

In the LED industry chain, including "purification - slicing - Packaging - Application" of the 4 links, the lower the lower profits. In fact, Zhongshan LED enterprises generally focus on the application of the field, do package is only several enterprises such as Linsen, Sam.

In this regard, the Zhongshan inspection and Quarantine Bureau, said Liu Zhihong, director of the ancient town of Zhongshan LED enterprises lack of innovation capacity, long-term dependence on imported core technology, high cost, affecting the development of LED lighting industry. In the application, there are many problems, many products have not been tested on the market. Once the new product is sold, will soon be copied, the rapid decline in profits. Even for a large part of the patent owned LED enterprises, can not be too optimistic, in order to reduce the cost, can only rely on their own technological breakthrough.

Liu Zhihong said that at this stage is still the mainstream of energy-saving lamps, energy-saving lighting industry in Zhongshan, the need for rational planning of industrial layout.

The combination of industry specialization and cooperation should be

Insiders suggested that there should be targeted to invest in LED core technology research and development and brand competitiveness. The problem can not be ignored, lack of basic research and development to improve the level of technology and innovation ability, to achieve the organic combination of upstream and downstream industries, professional cooperation and division of labor and promote the healthy development of industry, to avoid the concept development of energy-saving light source industry in Zhongshan area and hollowing out, ensure the healthy, stable and sustainable development of the industry.

Reporters learned that, as Guangdong's largest production base for energy-saving lamps, the value of exports in 2010 up to $215 million, while LED lighting is only $42 million 292 thousand in Zhongshan. From the domestic and international market demand and energy saving and emission reduction requirements, at this stage is still the best choice for energy-saving lamps and incandescent lamps and other high energy consuming products.
