LED lamp raw material price fell product price continued to fall

Just as the price of phosphor 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. The author learned from a number of lighting companies that in the past year, LED chips fell from 6 yuan to 2 yuan, driving LED lights down by 30%, with an 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. The price of 1 watt LED chips two years ago 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, told the author. Xurui Optoelectronics, which started production of LED chips in May, told the author 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. The sales volume of LED lights increased by more than 10%. The author visited Wal-Mart and Weiguo road lighting stores in Chancheng yesterday and learned that the sales volume of LED lights 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. , told the author 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.
