China's LED products need to improve standards

EU intends to propose high energy efficiency requirements for directional and LED lamps, that is, the EU market only accepts directional LED lamps and directional fluorescent lamps with an energy efficiency index of more than 0.2, which is 2.5 times higher than previous energy efficiency requirements. The United States intends to import directional lamps and LED lamps. The product conformity assessment and market supervision inspection procedures put forward higher requirements.

At present, there are more than 3,000 LED companies in Guangdong alone in China, and most of them are exported to Europe and the United States. The EU and US requirements for LED products have a great impact on China's exports. According to estimates by the Guangdong WTO/TBT notification consulting and research center, LED export enterprises in Guangdong will increase production costs by about 4 billion yuan.

In recent years, European and American countries have repeatedly used their technological superiority and patent monopoly to restrict the export of Chinese products in order to protect the development of their domestic industries. These technical barriers often cause great losses to our country's enterprises, and also reflect that our enterprises lack patents in technology and in some areas are also subject to foreign technology and enterprises.

This is actually a problem that has continued for a long time. It is not only the LED industry. Many other industries also have these problems, which also hinder the development of related industries in China. Nowadays, the problem of technical patents in the LED industry is particularly acute and has become a problem that needs to be solved in the LED industry.

At this stage, China's LED industry has a low technological content and product quality. There is no obvious advantage in the international market or the domestic market. In order to increase the sales volume of products, manufacturers began to cut prices to sell products, triggering a price war in the domestic market. The consequent reduction in product costs, which is the continued decline in product quality, led to a vicious cycle.

This may be able to obtain short-term profits, but there is no doubt that reducing the quality of products is not conducive to the development of the entire industry, but also not conducive to the popularity of Led Lighting products. At this stage, incandescent lamps have begun to withdraw from the market, and energy-saving lamps have received less attention because of environmental pollution. Green environmental protection lighting falls on the LED shoulders. In this crucial moment when LED is entering the lighting market, consumers do not know enough about led lighting products and trust is not enough. The quality of products is especially important.

China's LED lighting companies should strengthen investment in technology research and development, and strive to improve product quality and cost-effective to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, relying on their own high-tech investment in the field of continuous innovation in the LED, come up with excellent quality products in order to promote the company's Long-term development, and promote the popularity of LED lighting.
