LED lamp prices continue to decline, overseas exports increase

Just as the price of fluorescent powder has increased by 10 times and the cost of energy-saving lamps has increased sharply, its competitor LED lights have recently continued to fall due to the price reduction of upstream chips. Learned from a number of lighting companies, LED chips in the past year from 6 yuan (Hereinafter referred to as yuan) Fell to 2 yuan, driving LED lights down 30%, the average price of 30- 100 yuan, only 10 yuan, but the quality is mixed. The price of LED lamps is close to that of energy-saving lamps. Two years ago, the price of 1 watt LED chips was about 3 US dollars, but now it has dropped to less than 1 US dollar. Some chips made in Taiwan and the mainland are cheaper, even 3 yuan a grain. Wu Yulin, president of Foshan Lighting Association, said. Xurui Optoelectronics, which started production of LED chips in May, said that in the past year, the price of chips has dropped from more than 6 yuan to more than 2 yuan. It is understood that chips account for at least 1/3 of the cost of LED lamps, and the price reduction of chips directly drives down the price of LED lamps. As chip prices have dropped by about 20% per year in recent years, the price of LED lamps has also dropped from 7-10 times, down to the recent 3-4 times. At present, the price of energy-saving lamps has been stable at 6- 10 yuan, the general LED lamp price is from 50-300 yuan to 30-More than 100 yuan. Wu Yulin said that three years ago, his 9-watt LED lamp exported to Germany by kaixiou Co. , Ltd. was priced at $30. As the chip price continued to decline, it has dropped to $10. LED light price reduction sales increased by more than 10%, it is understood that the sales of LED lights in the first half of the year generally increased by 10-30. In the past year, the price of LED products has generally decreased by 30, and the price of mid-range LED lights is about 100 to 300 yuan. Our business has maintained a growth of 10 in the past two months. Ou Jingyang, business representative of qiangguang environmental protection Lighting Co. , Ltd. , which is operating at Weiguo Road, said. At the same time as the chip price cuts, the market also began to appear low-priced and inferior LED lights. Luo Jianguo, general manager of LED manufacturer Foshan Songbei Optoelectronics Technology Co. , Ltd. , said that 10 yuan LED lights with the same price as energy-saving lamps have appeared on the market. However, the quality is very poor, and the price of LED lights will definitely go down. I estimate that they will gradually enter ordinary families in batches next year. Ou Jingyang, who is illuminated by strong light, said that some manufacturers blindly pursue low-cost competition, and even use each inferior LED chip of 1 yuan. After selling it, a few pieces will be broken in less than a week, it has a negative impact on the current LED market. Analysis: The price of LED lights for the export business of downstream manufacturers has dropped, bringing benefits to downstream manufacturers to open up the market. Wu Yulin, president of Foshan Lamp Association, said that the continuous improvement of LED cost performance has brought opportunities for its company to expand its market. From the first half of last year to the present, the company's export of LED lamps has increased by 100, and many export companies in Foshan have also increased at this high speed. However, chip price cuts have also increased the pressure on upstream chip manufacturers. A Yuan Yuan person in charge of xurui Optoelectronics said that the price reduction of chips has a very large squeeze on our profit margins. While the price of LED chips is falling, the cost of energy-saving lamps is rising sharply. It is understood that in the first half of the year, the government implemented total control over rare earth mining. Rare earth price soaring lead to energy-saving lamps main raw material phosphor price steep 10 times more. Now the raw materials are rising so fast, but we can't raise the price of energy-saving lamps. The more we do, the more we dare not do it. Zou Jianping, one of the heads of Foshan Lighting, a large energy-saving lamp manufacturer in Foshan, said that the cost of fluorescent powder accounts for more than half of the cost of energy-saving lamps, and the pressure of rising can only be borne alone. The cost pressure of energy-saving lamps accelerates the transformation of Foshan Lighting to LED. It is reported that Foshan Lighting currently invests 0. 2 billion yuan in LED projects. Purchase reminder: Don't just buy LED lights, for the current mixed LED lamps in the mainland market, manufacturers remind consumers not to buy LED lights only to see the brightness. Because if you only look at the brightness, the color problem of the LED may be masked. Ou Jingyang said that when selecting LED lights, they can shine on the dark wall under the condition of power supply. The aperture display of a good LED on the wall is generally uniform and symmetrical, and there are no black spots. However, some LED lights that look very bright will make their colors distorted when they are illuminated on tables and chairs. Consumers only need to compare the two cases of LED lights on and off, whether the color of the illuminated object is distorted or not can judge the color rendering of the LED lamp.
