Looking back on the lighting industry, with the development of science and technology, lighting sources from incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, HID to the fourth generation of green new energy LED development, which not only the principle of light has changed, and lighting sources more energy saving, environmental protection, green. Under the energy crisis, in October 2012, the phasing out of incandescent lamps in China was put on the agenda, and at the same time, mercury pollution of energy-saving lamps was concerned by the general public. In this case, LED lighting application promotion by the state, government, enterprises and other attention. However, the current wide application of LED lighting is also hampered by technical problems such as thermal design, materials, electrical accessories, and drive power. Today, China's LED industry is developing rapidly, product promotion is also determined to win, but in the process of development or inevitably encountered problems, LED product quality problems are more and more attention for consumers.
Recently, Health Canada and Pier 1 Imports,Inc. announced a voluntary recall of indoor/outdoor decorative wall lighting fixtures made in China.
On January 16, the Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau released the results of the 2012 Guangdong Province LED street lights and light source controller product quality special supervision spot check, the results show that in 51 batches of LED street lights and light source controller spot check found that 20 batches of unqualified, unqualified product discovery rate of 39.2%. In addition, in the list of unqualified enterprises and products notified, a number of enterprises were included in the directory of "Recommended procurement products for green Lighting Demonstration city street lights" last year.
Some time ago, Lehman Optoelectronics was caught in a quality dispute, and its four customers took joint rights action after fruitless communication.
Since there is no unified standard and specification of LED products in China, LED manufacturers can easily reduce product quality to reduce costs, enterprises can also choose to maintain the price to improve profits, or lower the price to occupy the market, so as to provide more diversified "development" for enterprises.
In the LED lighting market, consumers generally do not have the relevant knowledge, and rarely can use product parameters to choose good quality products, so in the purchase of LED products, the price has become an important factor affecting consumers. Under such circumstances, occupying the consumer market is as simple as lowering prices.
At the same time, in the face of the expanding market, enterprises urgently need to occupy a piece of their own "territory" to ensure that in the future competition to preserve the market, for LED companies, with price cuts to occupy their own market has become particularly important. As for how to reduce the cost of products to ensure the profits of enterprises, a large part of the sacrifice of product quality.
The above factors mixed together, LED to the chaos of the LED market, uneven product quality, and many businesses in order to increase profits and cut corners, directly led to the quality of LED products decline.
It is undeniable that with the development of technology and the improvement of scientific and technological standards, the quality of China's LED products has been improved, and began to develop in the direction of international standards. However, because the relevant standards and norms in our country are not perfect, there are many problems in the development process.
Whether it is the mainland market or international competition, China's LED products are inseparable from the guarantee of quality. Whether from the perspective of the development of the industry, or from the long-term perspective of the enterprise, it is very necessary to improve the quality of LED products. LED review companies should take a long-term view, focusing on 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 improve product quality, only in this way can we do a good job in the LED industry, so that China's LED industry is developing better and better.
