"Quality door" LED enterprises should enhance the sense of responsibility

Since the birth of the high-tech aura enveloped LED lighting products can be described as a collection of thousands of pet in one. From the Ten City million to energy-saving Huimin, the central and local governments have given a variety of industry support policies and support funds, LED industry has always been the object of capital blitz. However, LED repeatedly broke product quality problems, but also to the lighting industry darling has been questioned, especially some international brands have crashed out of the "quality door" incident.

Deputy Secretary General of alliance national semiconductor lighting project, Geng Bo admitted to reporters, although the phenomenon of poor quality has been greatly improved, but it is still the problem of the LED lighting industry, healthy development seriously will affect the whole industry, the market for some misunderstanding of LED products from quality the problem: one of the main advantages of LED products is much longer than the life of other lighting products, and some inferior LED products is not a long life. The second lowest quality of individual products has seriously affected the reputation of LED in the market".

Sampling 70% unqualified

International giants are also on the list

Last August, the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of quality and Technical Supervision issued a special quality supervision and inspection results from the town of LED lamps in Guangdong province. Sampling results show that in the random sampling of 23 batches from the town of LED, the test failed 17 batches, the failure rate of up to 73.9%.

The spot checks involving 7 cities in Guangdong Province, the production of 21 companies from the town of LED lights. Failed projects involving accidental contact with live parts protection, wet processed insulation resistance and dielectric strength, mechanical strength, fault tolerance, chromaticity, coloration index and disturbance voltage, lamp power, heat resistance, interchangeability, power factor, initial luminous flux, light / fire and fire prevention projects.

Coincidentally, before a month, Shanghai City Administration for Industry and Commerce on the market in the sale of portable general purpose luminaires for quality monitoring, after testing, 13 batches of substandard goods, including OSRAM, OPPLE and other well-known brands also appeared in the list. According to the Shanghai Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce bulletin, this mainly to the incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp light source of different types of portable general purpose luminaires for quality monitoring, unqualified products are mainly concentrated in four aspects: insertion loss / disturbance voltage unqualified etc.. In fact, OSRAM, OPPLE in September 2011 has been on the quality of substandard black list".

After the monitoring results were released, the Secretary General of the Shanghai lighting electrical industry association Gong Xiaozhi told the media that the incident exposed the existence of strict checks and other issues of lighting companies. Lighting industry, a large number of outsourcing production, the issue of multiple batches of products or related.

The lighting industry and many batches of products were detected problems, but also to the phenomenon of a high degree of foundry industry surfaced.

Geng Bo said that the lighting industry OEM phenomenon is very serious, including a lot of major brands are taking a large number of oem. According to an expert of China Lighting society, said: "the world's largest lighting appliance manufacturer PHILPS, for example, the proportion of its lighting products has been very high foundry. In addition, OSRAM and NVC are also OEM phenomenon. Some major brands such as PHILPS, OSRAM and other foundry capacity was close to 90%. "Fudan University electric light Research Institute deputy director Zhang Shanduan told reporters that the contract itself is not wrong, because a large number of business outsourcing, enterprise management and control on the generation of some factory", "beyond the reach of the product quality control is not good. Coupled with the current fierce competition in the industry, the industry is on the rise in the cost of raw material prices, while the economic downturn and industry competition and depress the market price. At the same time, the compression of the industry profits, but also allow companies to relax the regulation of the cost of compression and quality problems.

Geng Bo believes that OEM OEM mode should be a win-win cooperation between the two sides, the cost control of brand technology for domestic enterprises and international giants and combines the advantages of cheap labor, and now has become a double lose -- lighting giants smashed his own signs, domestic enterprises can not get a promotion and technology for a few the processing fee is constantly on the run, become wage earners.

On behalf of the "bottom" fate

At present, in the global system, Europe and the United States, Japan and South Korea to occupy the key position of the global industrial division of labor, other regions in the middle and lower end of the industrial chain, more in the form of OEM to participate in globalization.

Geng Bo told reporters that the current international division of labor in the global LED industry, the United States and Europe, Japan is still in the upper reaches of the industry, the key technology. The United States CREE, Germany OSRAM LED master chip core technology; Japan Nichia and TOYOTA synthesis LED grains are considered to be the best, the two LED grain production accounted for about 80% of Japan's total output.

Huge market potential, making the LED industry was once an investment blue ocean". However, due to the lack of upstream core technology and equipment, the domestic LED companies can only get together in the lower threshold of investment in the downstream areas.

The advantages of the foundry model is that, in addition to reducing production costs, but also the rational use of spare capacity, reduce duplication of investment in the production process. In addition to the world's most recognized potential lighting market, China also has the world's relatively cheap labor market. Therefore, many international lighting brands have chosen China as its most important OEM base.

At the same time, Europe and the United States, Japan has a strict control of OEM
