LED lamp virtual standard wattage disturbs the market

In February 24, LED bulbs sold in Jinan No. 1 lamp market. For LED bulbs of the same brand and specification, one actual wattage is consistent with the marked power, while the other is twice the wattage. Recently, some citizens called reporters to say that the current number of LED bulbs on the market is serious. In the interview, many merchants bluntly said that there are hundreds of LED lamp brands, and most of them are produced in small workshops. The virtual standard wattage is normal. In addition, if not classified or not tested, not only consumers, but also businesses are difficult to distinguish between virtual standard wattage bulbs. The actual test of the 4-watt bulb is only 2 watts, and the bulb is always not bright enough to buy home. Mr. Liu, a citizen, said recently that he recently spent 8 yuan on a 4-watt Saivo LED bulb in a lighting wholesale market, after use, he was surprised to find that its brightness was not as good as that of a 3 watt incandescent bulb. Later, he took the bulb to a friend working in the quality supervision department and found that the actual power of the bulb was only 2 watts, which was a serious false standard power data. The energy-saving lamp in my living room has changed four bulbs in three months. Mr. Qin, a citizen who has similar experiences with Mr. Liu, said that in order to save electricity, he used ordinary energy-saving lamps before, and replaced LED bulbs from the end of last year. In a friend's introduction, he bought an unknown product produced by an enterprise in Fujian at a low price, but the lights often flickered during use, the brightness is also much worse than that of energy-saving lamps. After many times of tossing, Mr. Liu reluctantly chose to reuse ordinary energy-saving lamps. The sales staff said that the cheap is not enough wattage. The reporter recently came to a lighting wholesale market near the Jinan bus terminal. I saw that many merchants have advertised various LED lamps. During the visit, it was found that the brands of LED bulbs sold in almost every shop are different, and the prices are also very different. Take a 7-watt bulb as an example. Some brands sell for less than 10 yuan, and the brand price is tens of dollars. From the outer packaging, there are both Chinese brands and English products. In a lighting store, the reporter saw the Savo brand LED bulb purchased by Mr. Liu. There is no certificate and 3C certification mark on the outer package of the bulb. According to the merchant, there are two prices for each Severo bulb. The difference is whether the wattage of the label is true. Take a 4-watt bulb as an example. The quality of the product at the price of 10 yuan is slightly better, basically reaching the standard wattage, and the product at the price of 5 yuan cannot guarantee the wattage. This is very normal. The cheap ones are not enough wattage. This is very clear to us. Anyway, the products can be used, but the brightness is somewhat different. (Editor: Nicole) Another merchant told reporters that the price difference is mainly because the chips in LED bulbs are different, the chips are good in brightness and durable; The chip is not good and the price is relatively cheap, but the actual wattage is not enough and the brightness is obviously different. Try not to buy LED bulbs below 10 yuan. If you sell them together, it is difficult for us to tell the truth. A salesperson told reporters privately that because the outer packaging of LED bulbs is the same, for the power is sufficient, not only the customer does not know how to distinguish, if not according to the purchase price to distinguish the shelf sales, even these dealers can't tell which products are of good quality and which are defective. Many brands are made by ordinary small workshops. According to the person, brands such as Lixin, DeLisi, haizhili, and ouqi are all unreliable products produced by Southern workshop enterprises. Basically, one brand is changed every year, and the wattage is a virtual target. How do consumers identify whether the wattage of the label is true when purchasing LED bulbs? Some merchants advised reporters not to buy products below 10 yuan as far as possible, because most of these prices are light bulbs with virtual standard wattage. The cost of the chip is there, and the cost of the 4-watt Wick is about 3 yuan. If the merchant sells 5 yuan, he can't lose it. According to the industry, if the error exceeds plus or minus 10, the virtual standard wattage has become a hidden rule in the industry. An industry insider who asked not to be named said that as a manufacturer, it is generally clear whether they produce LED bulbs with sufficient wattage. In order to earn the difference, the dealers prefer to purchase these defective products, and the consumers are cheap, so that such defective products have always been a market. According to the source, according to the relevant regulations, the Power error of LED bulbs is appropriate within plus or minus ten, that is, if the product is 3 watts, the bulb is actually 2. 7 watts to 3. Between 3 watts is OK. If this standard is exceeded, it is a virtual standard lamp. However, due to the low cost of violations, such defective products are difficult to thoroughly inspect.
