LED lighting why it is difficult to enter the homes of ordinary people

Since November of last year, with the national development and Reform Commission issued "on the gradual ban the import and sale of ordinary incandescent lighting notice", our country will be in 5 years, the phasing out of incandescent lamps for general lighting. The introduction of a series of policies, so that the industry agreed that the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection light emitting diode (LED) lighting market will accelerate the pace of universal development.

Today, a few months later, the reporter recently visited the market found that home LED lighting sales performance in the terminal market is not good. Some LED lighting manufacturers, because of the lack of market purchasing power of the backlog of products also unsalable situation.

Technology immaturity leads to high cost?

At present, the national government support, mainly through the "ten city lights" promotion project, road lighting and other channels, but the domestic LED lamp is still hard into the homes of ordinary people, this is not just a "price", "production" and other issues. Wang Baozhu, associate professor, School of information science and engineering, Hebei University Of Science and Technology.

The Shijiazhuang University Of Economics associate professor Yu Zhenying, in an interview with the China Science News reporter, said the high cost led to high prices of LED lamps.

In recent years, Wang Baozhu has been engaged in the development of semiconductor optoelectronic information materials and devices. In his view, the main reason for poor sales of home LED lighting in the terminal market in addition to consumer acceptance issues, there are some technical problems, such as performance did not reach the desired value. In addition, the more important point is that technology is not mature and lead to high cost.

Reporters interviewed a number of dealers, said sales of energy-saving lamps LED profit is not high, generally only about 10%, of which the family is commonly used in the production of only 35 watts LED lamp price reached $8.

According to the reporter, a 20 Watt LED energy-saving lamps, a total of 330 particle beads, beads imported from abroad, each grain wholesale price of 0.21 yuan, 330 is 70 yuan, then add cup and a power supply of about 10 yuan, this calculation, the raw materials will need 80 yuan, but the the factory price is only 86.4 yuan, to the terminal retail market price of roughly 95~110 million.

According to Wang Baozhu introduction, the price of energy-saving lamp LED mainly depends on the chip beads. At present, China's LED chip manufacturers, although more, but there are technical and quality problems. As a result, the quality of most of the chips still rely on imports, which increases the cost.

It is understood that the general anti - good performance beads, prices are not too low, even in large quantities into the purchase, each only 0.002 ~ 0.005 yuan cheaper. This is the main cause of the domestic LED energy-saving lamp prices have been high.

Wang Baozhu pointed out that in the existing sales channels of traditional lighting under the support of LED lighting sales still suck, explain the product maturity is very critical, such as heat, light, two optical design is not satisfactory, life can not reach the ideal value.

Difficult to enter the homes of ordinary people

Energy saving, environmentally friendly, environmentally friendly LED lamps will undoubtedly have a significant advantage in the future market. Reporters in Hebei Shijiazhuang Lighting City interview, a sales staff, with a 100 watt incandescent lamp, the brightness is close to 25 Watt energy-saving lamps, 10 watt LED lamp as an example, 6000 hours of continuous lighting, LED lights than the energy-saving lamp energy saving 60%, saving 90% than incandescent lamp. And in the service life, LED lamp life of up to 30 thousand hours, is the energy saving lamp of 5 times, incandescent lamp of 20 times.

Although the advantages of LED lamps in energy saving and environmental protection, but in the sales market situation is not optimistic.

Hebei Shijiazhuang City Lighting dealer told the reporter that, in civilian lighting, energy-saving fluorescent lamp accounted for about 80%, ordinary incandescent lamp market share is still 10% to about 20%, while the new LED environmental protection lamp only accounts for about 2% to 3%. His shop can only sell 3 to 5 LED energy-saving lamps a day.

When the original fluorescent lamps and energy-saving problems encountered, the price is too high for ordinary consumers to accept. The seller explained that this is also the factor that makes the LED lamp is mainly used in the commercial field.

In addition to price factors, the style of home LED lighting is also one of the reasons for the market is not optimistic. "Yu Zhenying thinks, a lot of people regard lamps and lanterns as a kind of family adornment. The current domestic LED lighting style single, did not meet the needs of consumers.

In addition, LED lighting has not been well known to consumers, the market is still not cheap goods phenomenon. Wang Baozhu said that compared to the traditional energy-saving lamps, LED lighting market time is very short, coupled with LED's sales are mainly carried out in the network platform, many consumers just heard or look at the internet. Now the city has a number of vendors selling LED lamps, the quality varies greatly, which also has a bad impact on the image of LED.

The government and the enterprises must contribute

To speed up the pace of development of LED lighting market. The government and the enterprises must contribute. Yu Zhenying said.

Wang Baozhu believes that to solve the problem from the source, or to rely on the domestic chip and lamp technology research and development to improve, because our production enterprises are mainly packaging enterprises, can not grasp the core technology.

Let ordinary people to replace the traditional lighting of a few dollars LED lighting, no government subsidies may not work. "Almost every country has subsidies," Wang Baozhu said.

"In order to achieve the goal of energy conservation, the government should give a certain amount of subsidies to enterprises, so that the market price of LED lamps can be ordinary
