LED industry development is affected by radical thinking

Recently, Health Canada and Pier 1 Imports (Inc.) jointly announced the voluntary recall of indoor/outdoor wall-mounted decorative lighting devices made in China.

On January 16, the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Quality Supervision released the results of a special supervision and inspection of the quality of LED street lamps and light source controllers in Guangdong Province in 2012. The results showed that in batches of 51 batches of LED street lamps and light source controllers, 20 batches were found. Unqualified, the rate of discovery of unqualified products reached 39.2%. In addition, in the list of unqualified companies and products notified, a number of companies were listed in the "Green Lighting Demonstration City Street Lamp Recommended Products" list last year.

Some time ago, Lehman Optoelectronics fell into a quality dispute and its four customers took a joint activist action after the communication failed.

Since China does not have uniform standards and specifications for LED products, it is easy for LED manufacturers to use lower product quality to reduce costs. Enterprises can also choose to keep selling prices to increase profits or reduce prices to dominate the market, thus providing enterprises with more Diversified "development".

In the LED lighting market, consumers generally do not have the relevant expertise, and they rarely use product parameters to select good quality products. Therefore, when purchasing LED products, prices have become an important factor affecting consumers. In such a situation, occupying the consumer market is a simple matter of reducing prices.

At the same time, in the face of an ever-expanding market, companies are in urgent need of occupying their own “territory” to ensure that they will retain their market in future competitions. For LED companies, it is also very important to use price cuts to capture their own markets. . As for how to reduce the cost of products to ensure the profits of enterprises, a large part is to sacrifice product quality.

The above factors are mixed together, leading to confusion in the LED market, product quality varies, there are many businesses in order to increase profits and cut corners, directly led to the decline in the quality of LED products.

It is undeniable that with the development of technology and the improvement of technological level, the quality of China's LED products has improved and it has begun to develop in the direction of international standards. However, due to the fact that China's relevant standards and norms are still not perfect, it will inevitably have many problems in the development process.

Whether it is the mainland market or international competition, China's LED products are inseparable from the quality guarantee. Whether from the perspective of the development of the industry or from the perspective of the long-term perspective of the company, it is necessary to improve the quality of LED products. LED review companies should take a long-term perspective, pay attention to the development of the international market and the future development of the entire industry.

The development of the LED industry requires all LED companies to work together to enhance the quality of their products. Only in this way can the LED industry become bigger and bigger, and China's LED industry will get better and better.
