LED street light price reduction is the main push or non-unique weight

As the LED streetlight solution continues to innovate and improve, its penetration rate is further increasing. In the early days when LED street lamps were introduced to the market, LED street lamps were the first to be used as demonstration projects in the economically developed areas of the eastern region and some provincial capital cities, and the reason for restricting their further penetration into the central and western regions was that the prices were too high.
Since 2013, LED street lights have declined significantly. Some well-known street lamps in China, such as Qinshang Optoelectronics, Shanxi Guangyu, Spike, etc., also said that the price dropped by about 20-30 in the first half of 2013, with the largest drop in light source prices. According to statistics, the price of LED street lamp export products in 2013 fell from 478.65 US dollars in January to 348.20 US dollars in December.
Light source price reduction is still the main push. It is understood that the cost of a LED street light is nothing more than the main part of the light source, lamp housing, power supply, etc., plus some labor costs, equipment depreciation, certification costs, etc., where the light source accounts for 30~ Around 40, the power supply accounts for 30, and the lamp housing and other expenses account for about 20 to 30.
According to the sales staff at the front line, the current price of LED street lamps below 100W can be as low as 8 yuan per watt, while the price of street lamps using large brands such as Philips Lumileds and Cree is sold at 18, 19 yuan per watt, which is higher than 100W. The unit lumen price is higher.
Shi Guangmin, research and development manager of Shanxi Guangyu, said that in the future, the light source part is still the main driving force for LED street light price reduction. There are two main reasons. First, the price of the light source itself decreases. Second, after the light efficiency of the light source is increased, the number of used light beads is less, the power is lower, and the price can be lowered.
In terms of power supply, although the unit price of the driving power supply will decrease with the large-scale production, the introduction of the intelligent control system will increase the added value of the driving power supply, and thus the power supply price has little room for decline. Shi Jianmin said frankly.

The reporter found in the quotation of Maoshuo Power Supply, Mingwei Power Supply, Infineon and Zhongheng Paiwei to the same company that the price of the same quantity and the same power is about 10, if it is distributed to the whole lamp. The difference is not obvious.

Another reason that affects the price fluctuations of the whole lamp is that the needs of the owners vary widely. Xiao Zhiyong, deputy director of sales for BYD's LED marketing department, said it is difficult to give an accurate quote immediately. The owner's requirements for life, light efficiency and light quality determine what kind of light source device and power supply the company chooses. This also restricts the extent to which enterprises cannot achieve scale advantages.

What is the profitability of the company after the price is lowered? Xiao Zhiyong said that the current domestic road lighting renovation project is still mainly in the road section with a wide road surface. Therefore, there is a large demand for high-power street lamps of 100W or more, accounting for 65% of all shipments, and the profit margin of this part is also For products above 60W, it is about 20.
In the future, as the renovation project sinks to the county-level units, the demand for street lamps of around 60W will gradually increase, and enterprises will regard this type of products as a new growth point.
