Why are some LED lights ridiculously cheap?
What are the characteristics of China's LED lamp market? The first is the price, the second is the price, and the third is the price. As for technical parameters, service life, and warranty period, Shenma is a cloud. When buyers choose cheap LED lights, they don’t think about whether there are manufacturers of such cheap LED lights that can make products of high quality. After all, you can’t let LED manufacturers post it upside down. The following are the most typical LED bulbs and LED ceilings. Spotlights are used as an example to illustrate their cost.
How are those cheap LED ceiling spotlights made? The cost of LED lamps mainly consists of three pieces - lamp beads, shell, and driving power supply. If you want to make the price as low as possible, you can only work on these three aspects.
Lamp beads - domestic 1W lamp beads in Zhongshan Guzhen sell for 2 cents, why dare to sell them for two cents? The gold wire in the lamp bead is replaced by copper wire, and other raw materials are replaced by inferior materials, which is impossible for consumers It is perceived, and it is nominally 1W, but it may only be 0.5W when detected by equipment, which is insufficient wattage behavior, and consumers generally do not test it. Shell - use some corner aluminum or plastic, the cost is 1 to 3 dollars.
Drive power supply - there are low-quality drivers on the market that sell for more than 1 yuan, or even lower. I don't know how many manufacturers of LED lights have closed down, and those who are irresponsible for making low-quality drivers for profit, But I don't know how much money I made.
In this way, a 3W LED ceiling spotlight is OK with 3 lamp beads + a shell + a driver, let's calculate the cost of those mid-range goods: lamp beads (2 yuan) + shell (3 yuan) + driver (2.8 yuan) + labor (1 yuan) + packaging (0.5 yuan) + other (1 yuan) = 10.3 yuan. Merchants still have to make money, and no one does business that doesn’t make money! In addition to management costs, inventory costs, development costs, etc., there is still about 5% of business extraction. Think about it, will the 3W LED ceiling spotlights sold for less than 10 yuan be qualified products? As for the reasonable price of high-end 3W LED spotlights: lamp beads (6 yuan) + shell (5 yuan) + inner shell (2 yuan) + Drive (5 yuan) + labor (1 yuan) + packaging (1 yuan) + other (1 yuan) = 21 yuan, that is, LED spotlights > 21 yuan are normal and reasonable prices!
