LED lighting industry lacks uniform product standards

At present, there is no uniform product standard in the LED lighting application market. The products produced by one manufacturer are completely incompatible with another manufacturer, which has become a major obstacle to the development of LED lighting industry. At the first LED Lighting Industry Exchange Conference in Foshan, many representatives of enterprises unanimously suggested that Foshan should guide enterprises to establish unified product standards as soon as possible. Huang Qifeng, deputy director of the Foshan Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, said that the second batch of LED industry special support funds in Guangdong province totaled 4. 0. 5 billion yuan, of which Foshan's Zhaoxin, Guoxing and other five major projects are among them, with a total of about 1. RMB 0. 6 billion. The construction of unified standards requires the government to guide the damage of LED lamp beads worth 100 yuan, and only the entire LED street lamp holder worth 8000 yuan can be replaced. At the exchange meeting, Osram (China) Guan Shijing, marketing director of solid-state lighting products of Lighting Co. , Ltd. , said that due to the incompatibility of products produced by different LED lighting manufacturers, once a component of the product has problems and the original manufacturer cannot be found, the whole product can only be scrapped, which makes it quite difficult to replace products and components in the LED lighting market. At the exchange meeting, many representatives of the company agreed with Guan Shijing. Mr. Fu, general manager of Shenzhen huagao Optoelectronics Technology Co. , Ltd. , who came from Shenzhen to attend the conference, said that because the products are not standardized, it is difficult to strictly compare the products of different manufacturers. Manufacturers are not competing in terms of product life, color temperature, cost performance, etc. , but a price war. However, it is difficult to reduce the cost of LED lighting products at present. In order to reduce the price of products, many manufacturers cannot guarantee the quality of their products. Relevant government departments should play a leading role in the process of establishing product standards, and this standard should be formulated as soon as possible. Cooperation between large and small enterprises is one of the main purposes of this exchange meeting. However, the reporter's on-site interview found that for cooperation, leading enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises are worried. Luo Jijun, manager of the Blue Arrow Electronics LED division, told reporters that when the orders in the peak season are too many, we are simply too busy to come over and need small and medium-sized enterprises to support us. However, if we really want to find small enterprises to help with production, we are also very worried about product quality, technology outflow and other issues, and even damage our brand when the situation is serious. Luo Jijun said that the cooperation between large enterprises and small enterprises requires a high degree of trust, which requires long-term integration between the two sides in terms of technology and management. Mr. Fu, the general manager of huagao Optoelectronics Technology Co. , Ltd. , also admitted that large enterprises have channels, strong funds, and high brand awareness. These are the advantages that small enterprises lack. However, when dealing with small enterprises, large enterprises are too strong. For example, large enterprises will press the payment of small enterprises for several months. For small enterprises with insufficient working capital, this may be a fatal blow. Mr. Fu believes that to cooperate, large enterprises need to take a step forward and support small enterprises in terms of funds. In response, Wu Yulin, president of Foshan Lighting Association, said that many LED lighting manufacturers in Foshan have many years of industrial foundation, technology and cooperation with leading enterprises. The big advantage is that they can obtain products quickly. Large enterprises have strict quality monitoring systems. If they are willing to go to small enterprises for training, it is feasible for both parties to cooperate. He revealed that in order to express sincerity, Osram and other companies have attached the docking method to the conference materials. I believe that there will be many small and medium-sized enterprises to connect with them after the meeting, and it is expected to form an order. In view of the weak strength of small enterprises in product design, at this conference, foshan Lighting Association, together with Art Institute of Guangdong Light Industry Vocational and Technical College, Guangdong Textile Technology College and Shunde Vocational and Technical College, signed an agreement to jointly build a strategic partner for LED lighting design trading platform, in order to provide enterprises with low-cost lamp industrial design patents, etc.
