LED quality is difficult to ensure that the home lighting market is heating hard

[Source: "High-tech LED-lighting market" October issue He Xingling]

Recently, Ms. Wu told the reporter of "High-tech LED" that she bought a batch of LED lamps in Chengdu Dongheng International last year and replaced the energy-saving lamps in the kitchen, toilet, living room and bedroom. The first two months were fine, but after that, the lights began to have problems, some did not light up, and some strobes were serious. “It looks like the appearance of the luminaire is still good. It’s a pity to throw it, but there is no way to repair it, so I changed the traditional luminaire.”

How many consumers, like Ms. Wu, used LED lamps and reused traditional lamps because of product quality problems. People are expecting LED lights to spread to thousands of households as soon as possible, but low-quality LED lamps have discouraged consumers.

The reporter visited some residents in the main city of Chengdu and learned that there are very few LEDs in the home. It is not that people are unwilling to use LED lights.

As we all know, the key to the rapid growth of the LED lighting market depends on when the home lighting market starts. At present, the acceptance of LED products in the home market is still low. Although product prices have continued to decline since last year, various factors have also made the home market difficult to start.

Product quality is difficult to guarantee

Recently, the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision announced the results of a total of 23 batches of LED lamp products produced by 21 companies in 7 cities including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Zhongshan, Huizhou and Dongguan. The pass rate is less than 30%. Among the brands of unqualified products, Wrigley produced by Zhongshan Pulia Lighting Co., Ltd., Wrigley produced by Dongguan Anshang Chongguang Technology Co., Ltd., and BYD Lighting brand products produced by Huizhou BYD Industrial Co., Ltd. are all on board. Black list. The product qualification rate is so low, it is no wonder that consumers have lost confidence in LEDs, when will cheap LED lamps and lanterns be launched?

At present, LED lamps in the market are basically labeled with a shelf life of at least 2 years, but how many LED lamps can achieve the so-called two-year shelf life? The reporter found through investigation that some of the lamps and lanterns were marked with qualified words, but they did not agree.

Wang Junliang, the person in charge of Zhongshan Guzhen Xinlefu Lighting Factory, told reporters: "Now the LED products that consumers buy can't be guaranteed for 2 years. After selling the lights for one year, there are customers coming to find compensation and repairs every day. It’s also a worry. It’s hard to keep it for a year, let alone two or three years. Before that, many big companies shouted that they could guarantee a life expectancy of 50,000 hours, but I have seen one now.”

"It is rare to be able to pass the EMC certification, and it is rare that the LED brand with light efficiency and light decay control within 85% is rare. If it is a few hundred yuan, the price is very high. If it is like a typical ancient town, there is no other requirement, the price Cheap quality is often negligible." Some dealers told reporters.

Low-priced and low-quality products have severely eroded the confidence of customers. High-priced products are not affordable for ordinary households. It is obviously very difficult to promote products without quality assurance in the home market.

State subsidies "painting cakes to fill the hunger"

On September 26, the results of the first round of financial subsidies for LED lighting were announced. It is estimated that the total amount of this round of bidding is about 2 billion yuan, and the subsidy rate is about 30% of the winning bid price. Among them, LED indoor lighting products tendered a total of 10 million (downlights, spotlights and bulbs), outdoor lighting products 1 million (street lights and tunnel lights), a total of 39 companies won the bid.

“National subsidies have a certain market-driven effect, but they only draw a cake. How many of the winning bidders have technical strength and capacity in LED lamps?” An industry insider broke the current government bidding “hidden rules” . Indeed, we must recognize the guiding role of state subsidies, but to really reduce costs to start the home market, the key is to see whether companies can do their best to do LED lamps.

"The price is not the main reason. The most important thing is that the company will only go to the price to say things. If it is made into a constant current, the light effect, the index, and the light decay have the products of the medium and high-grade price for two years, or there is a certain market. Demand. "The marketing person in charge of a lighting company in Zhejiang told reporters that the life of traditional light source lamps can meet the requirements by replacing the light source and the lighting control device, and most of the LED lighting lamps are integrated with the LED light source and the lamp housing. Both the manufacturer and the consumer must face the characteristics of the LED luminaire.

At present, the life of LED lighting fixtures is related to the life of the LED light source, the LED driver and the environment in which the LED is supplied to the LED light source. For different LED luminaires, their lifetime can only be determined by the relevant life characteristics evaluation. In addition, traditional lighting fixtures are evaluated by luminaire efficiency, while LED luminaires are evaluated by energy efficiency or efficacy.
