Just as the price of phosphors increased by a factor of 10 and the cost of energy-saving lamps increased sharply, its competitor's LED lights have continued to decline due to price cuts in upstream chips. The author learned from a number of lighting companies that LED chips have fallen from 6 yuan to 2 yuan in the past year, bringing LED lamps down by 30%, and the average price is 30-100 yuan. The flattest is only 10 yuan, but the quality is mixed.
LED chip diving LED lamp prices approaching energy-saving lamps "Two-year-old 1 watt LED chip price is about 3 US dollars, but now it has dropped to less than 1 US dollar, some Taiwan and mainland production of chips cheaper, even 3 yuan a RMB "Wu Yulin, Chairman of Foshan Lighting Association, told the author. Xu Ruiguang, who started production of LED chips in May, told the author that "in the past year or so, the price of the chip has dropped from six to more than two yuan."
It is understood that the chip accounts for at least 1/3 of the cost of LED lighting, chip prices directly led to the decline in LED prices. As chip prices have fallen at a rate of about 20% per year in recent years, the price of LED lamps has fallen from 7-10 times that of energy-saving lamps two years ago to 3-4 times in the near future. At present, the price of energy-saving lamps has been stable at 6-10 yuan, and the general price of LED lamps has dropped from 50-300 yuan to 30-100 yuan. Wu Yulin said that the price of the 9-Watt LED lamp exported to Germany by Casio Europe Co., Ltd., where he was located three years ago, would be $30, which has fallen to $10 as chip prices continue to fall.
LED lights sales rose by more than 10% I visited Chancheng Wal-Mart and Weiguo Road, a number of lighting stores learned that the sales of LED lamps in the first half of the general growth of 10% -30%. "In the past year, the price of LED products has generally been reduced by 30%. The price of mid-range LED lamps is between 100 and 300 yuan. Our business in the past two months has maintained a growth of 10%." Mr. Ou Jingyang, business representative of Everlight Environmental Lighting Co., Ltd. said.
At the same time as the chip price cuts, low-quality, low-quality LED lights have begun to appear in the market. LED manufacturer Foshan Songbei Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. Luo Jianguo, general manager told reporters that the market has emerged with the same price of energy-saving lamps 10 LED lights. “But the quality is very poor, and the price of LED lights will certainly go down. I estimate that we will gradually enter the average family in batches next year.â€
According to Ou Jingyang of bright light lighting, some manufacturers have blindly pursued low-price competition, and even used inferior LED chips with a price of RMB 1 per chip, which sold off in less than a week and destroyed the current LED market.
Analysis: The price of LED lamps for downstream manufacturers' export business has fallen, which has brought favorable benefits to downstream manufacturers in opening up the market. Wu Yulin, head of the City Lights Association, said that the continuous improvement of LED cost-effectiveness has brought opportunities for the company to expand its market. “From the first half of last year to the present, the company’s exports of LED lamps have grown by 100%, and many export companies in Foshan are also experiencing such rapid growth.â€
However, chip price cuts have also increased pressure on upstream chip makers. A person in charge of Xu Rui Optoelectronics told the author that the price reduction of the chip "squeezes our profit margin very much."
While the price of LED chips has fallen, the cost of energy-saving lamps has risen sharply. It is understood that the first half of the year was due to the state's total control of rare earth ore mining. The soaring price of rare earths has led to a sharp increase in the price of fluorescent powder, the main raw material for energy-saving lamps, by more than 10 times.
“Now the raw material is rising so fast, but we can't increase the price of energy-saving lamps. The more we do more, the more we do it, the more we fail to do it alone.†said Zou Jianping, one of the heads of Foshan Lighting, the largest manufacturer of energy-saving lamps in Foshan. The cost of powder accounts for more than half of the cost of energy-saving lamps, and the pressure of rising can only be sustained by itself. Energy-saving lamp cost pressures accelerate the transition from Foshan lighting to LED. It is reported that Foshan Lighting currently invests 200 million yuan to switch to LED projects.
Buy LED don't just "bright"
For the LED lights that are mixed in the domestic market, manufacturers are reminding consumers to buy LED lights instead of just looking at the brightness.
"Because if you only look at the brightness, the LED's color rendering problems may be covered up." Oujing Yang said that in the selection of LED lights, you can power in the case of the dark wall, good LED on the wall aperture The display is generally more uniform, symmetrical, and has no black spots. However, some LED lamps that look very bright, shining on the table and chairs will make their colors distorted. Consumers need only compare the LED lights on and off. If the color of the exposed objects is “distortedâ€, the LED lights can be judged. The color rendering is good or bad.
