The price of LED lights began to meet the "gas"

The reporter visited the market and found that LED lights that were sold for $45 or $50 at the beginning of last year can now be purchased for less than $30. The personage inside course of study predicts, LED industry will usher in explosive growth in the next three years, the price will be even more "local gas."

Because the price was not close to the public

In 2012, the National Development and Reform Commission released the "China's roadmap for phase-out of incandescent lamps," and incandescent lamps will gradually exit the market within five years. From October 1, 2012, incandescent lamps with general lighting of 100 watts or above have been withdrawn from the market. Starting from October 1 this year, incandescent lamps with general lighting of 60 watts and above will also be delisted.

After the incandescent lamp delisted, energy-saving lamps began to occupy the mainstream of the lighting market, LED lamps that are more energy-efficient than energy-saving lamps also appear in the home lighting market. It is understood that a 6-watt LED lamp is similar in brightness to a 60-watt incandescent lamp and a 12-watt energy-saving lamp, but it can save 90% energy compared to an incandescent lamp, and can be used every day for six hours and one year of use. Lamps save more than 10 yuan more than electricity-saving lamps, saving fifty or sixty yuan compared with ordinary incandescent lamps.

However, LED lamp prices are much higher than those of energy-saving lamps and incandescent lamps. For example, a 7-watt LED lamp costs 50-60 yuan, while an ordinary energy-saving lamp costs as little as 10 yuan, and a low-cost incandescent lamp costs as little as 1 yuan. This also makes LED lights have always been difficult for people to enter the homes of ordinary people because of the price.

One year price reduction of about 40%

However, many people have recently discovered that LED lights have reduced prices. The citizen Mr. Li had purchased lamps and lanterns years ago. He ordered a living room LED lamp in a building material market in Jiangdong Gate, and two bedroom LED ceiling lamps cost a total of 600 yuan. “These lamps were purchased at the beginning of last year and they were expensive. More than three or four percent.” Mr. Peng, an LED lamp sales manager, told reporters that he started selling LED lights two years ago. The price of each LED lamp was more than 100 yuan at the beginning, but every year for two years. All of them are declining steadily. In the past year, there were two sharp price adjustments. One was at the beginning of the year, and the other was in December last year. Each time the decline was about 20%, such as 18W high-end downlights, which will be sold for more than 300 yuan in early 2013. The price is now less than 200 yuan. The price of ceiling lamps is reduced by a small margin, but it is also about 30% cheaper.

What are the reasons for the price drop of LED lights? According to analysts in the industry, LED technology is increasingly mature, LED chip and packaging costs have dropped significantly, and the price of LED lamps has dropped significantly. “As the delisting of incandescent lamps advances, the market share of LED lamps will increase. The next three years will be the outbreak of LED lighting. In particular, energy-saving replacement will be a large market, and prices will be more grounded.” People say.
