For example, Walmart's own brand of Great Value 7W full-cycle bulb lamp has a luminous flux of 470lm and a selling price of only 8. $48. CREE's 6W and 450lm dimmable bulb lamps also fell to 7. 5% in February. $49. In addition, some of Philips's bulb prices have also been lowered.

First-line manufacturers are actively introducing new products. Intelligent lighting is the future product trend. LEDinside observed that while the price of LED bulb lamps is declining steadily, first-line brand manufacturers are also pursuing performance improvement one after another. At present, in the North American market, 90 brand bulbs have dimming function; 70 products are all-round light bulbs. Most of the new products recently introduced in the European market also have full-cycle function. In addition, the introduction of intelligent control is also the focus of the development of various manufacturers this year. Philips Hue bulbs have been officially sold in the Chinese market, and Samsung recently announced that it will launch a new LED smart bulb with built-in Bluetooth, brightness and color temperature can be controlled through smart phones or tablet applications. LEDinside believes that the improvement of the cost performance of first-line brand products will promote the accelerated standardization and integration of regional markets, and smart lighting will also become one of the main development trends of lighting products in the future. However, at this stage, the market price and consumer acceptance of smart bulbs are still the key factors hindering the popularization of products. Therefore, how to achieve the balance between performance and price is also a problem that all first-line lighting manufacturers need to solve.
