Foreign markets LED lighting product recall in China isn’t the first time, also can see that our country still need to continue to improve the quality of LED lighting products, to occupy a place in the international market.
As the LED lighting market continues to expand, many vendors in order to preempt the market and start a price war, is brought about by the decline in product cost control and the quality of products.
Many foreign market to strengthen the lighting products, certification and supervision in Europe, America, Mexico and other countries and regions have higher market access. The European commission’s production design all instructions and regulations committee for directional lights and LED lights to discuss draft regulations and related equipment, adding related ErP directive. The LED lighting lamps and lanterns TBT notification council has also started against the United States recently published review TBT notification LED lamp test procedure, involving the LED lamp lumen output, input power and the relative spectral distribution method. Since May 5, the Mexican economy department to revise the LED lamps and lanterns of compulsory standards go into effect.
Although our LED products have an advantage in terms of price, but has disadvantage, in product quality have also LED to China’s LED lighting products in the international market competitiveness is weak, and the threshold of foreign markets to improve, also make China’s LED enterprises to export products to be affected again. However, there is also some good lighting product in CHINA, like the our 5W Dimmable LED Candle bulb and LED Candelabra bulbs which have been tested for over 3 months and have no failure since now.
Domestic enterprises in the preemption market too pay attention to immediate interests, eager to cut prices to occupy the market, in order to ensure profits and cause a downturn of the product cost, product quality drop, so not only difficult to stand out in competition for a long time, can also lead to vicious circle, influence the development of the whole LED industry.
LED enterprises should not only by improving production technology, improve production efficiency to reduce cost profit, should increase the technical content, improve product value, the product of competition from price to shift the battlefield, in order to obtain more comprehensive and more long-term development, in the fierce competition in a good position; Enterprise’s core strategy must be return to shape the brand value, firmly grasp the quality of the bottom line, in the long-term competition, seeks road of the management and quality improvement, make products on the domestic and international market.
