Breaking through the threshold of certification, Chinese companies are rushing to the US LED market

Recently, the American LED Association organized mainstream LED lighting companies such as Shenzhen and Zhongshan to sell products to the US market, which means that the production and sales of domestic LED lighting will usher in a larger development space. However, according to the reporter, the biggest threshold for Chinese LED companies to enter the US market is the need for UL certification, and the annual cost of UL certification is high. In this regard, the industry believes that UL certification is more than a threshold, but promotes the improvement of product quality. the way.

Chinese companies rush to the US LED market

In early 2013, the US government began to introduce a step-by-step replacement for tungsten filament lamps. According to relevant laws, “the production and sales of tungsten lamps with a maximum energy consumption of more than 100 watts were first banned.

According to Yu Lingyun, chairman of the American LED Association, as the world's largest consumer of household and building materials and a major importer, the US government has realized that LED is a must replace tungsten filament lamp, because tungsten filament lamp is both expensive and environmentally friendly, and semiconductor lighting leader A new light source revolution, no need for heat, two diodes pass, there is light, no heat, and save electricity. "But the price of LED products is much more expensive than ordinary tungsten lamps. It is not possible to use the use of tungsten lamps at once to turn into the use of LED lamps. The US government has enacted laws this year to completely ban the production and use of all tungsten lamps. ."

Ultra-bright, high-power LED devices have been widely used in urban traffic lights in China. LED signal lights are favored by urban traffic management departments for their high brightness, high reliability, low cost of use, and long life. "But there are many places in the United States that do not use LED traffic lights, so the United States is actually slower in the pace of LED popularization, especially when it comes to the application of LED products by ordinary people." Yu Lingyun said.

LED update and fast enterprises must accelerate rectification

It is understood that the biggest threshold for Chinese LED companies to enter the US market now is to obtain UL certification. Xie Zuhua, general manager of Shenzhen Minbo Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd., said in an interview that the UL in the US market is a “knock-knock” that knocks on the US LED market. Without the UL certification, it is impossible to enter the US market. However, the annual cost of UL certification is very high. It takes 500,000 yuan to do a UL certification. Each certification number is worth more than 1,000 US dollars per quarter.

Yu Lingyun mentioned that the cost of producing products that meet the safety certification is much higher than that of products without safety certification, about 50%. When selling safety-certified LED products in the US, the sales price will be much higher, and the level will be flat. "In general, the flat light is taken as an example. The same one is 0.6 meters x 0.6 meters. Such a square light is installed on the top for office lighting. The safety light sells for 150 dollars, and the non-safe light sells 100 dollars. This is a 1.5:1 difference.

UL Meihua Certification Co., Ltd. Ma Yusheng said that the LED industry is developing very rapidly in China, and the certification volume is between 20% and 30%. Because the development of certified products is relatively rapid, there may be nothing to restrict its development and promote certification. The export volume of products continues to increase; in addition, the replacement of LED products is also relatively fast. For China's manufacturing industry, certification is not more certified, but to improve product quality and rectify products.
