LED Street Light Price Analysis

At some point, customers pay more attention to the price of LED street lights than to their quality.This is a bad phenomenon.Warm reminder to all outdoor street lamp buyers, remember that you get what you pay for!Be responsible for outdoor street lighting project, don't be confused by inferior products with low price slogan.

Which aspects determine the price of LED street lights?

If calculated according to the price of the whole set of LED street lamps, the main price consists of three parts: lamps with light source, LED street lamp power supply, and street lamp pole.

Speaking in detail, but also distinguish the size and style of lighting lamps, the network speed size and brand of light source. LED street lamp power supply to distinguish between the brand and wattage, as for the lamp pole to distinguish height, material, thickness, etc., and there are some packaging costs, buried cage,that are also a small part of the price.

Overall, the price composition of LED street light is determined according to the specific demand configuration, and there is no standard pricing. It seems that the price of LED street lamps with the same configuration and the same style can often match several different prices.

How led street lights manufacturer fix a suitable price?

Different demand configurations correspond to different prices.LED street light industry is now relatively mature, the price is more and more transparent, LED street light buyers also better understand the price.

Generally speaking, after get rid of all the costs, plus 5% to 10% of the company's profit is basically the final market price.The price composition of LED street lamp is relatively simple than that of solar street lamp, and better do price calculation comparison. The price difference under the same configuration is becoming smaller and smaller.

Price combination of LED street lamp

Like most products, generally speaking, the sales price of a physical product is composed of raw materials and spare parts cost + labor cost + packaged and transported cost + enterprise rent, accumulated depreciation cost of machinery + tax + enterprise profit = sales price.At ordinary times we say a little preferential, in fact, is often preferential in the profits of the enterprise, how to say?Keep reading!

Because in the market economy, the cost of raw materials, labor, transportation and packaging for LED street lamps with the same specifications and quality is relatively close between each enterprise, or even the same cost.Assuming that the sales price of LED street lamp products is 1000 yuan, of which the enterprise profit accounts for 10%, that is, 100 yuan.Then the enterprise to the discount is from the 100 yuan out of the enterprise, no matter how much discount will not reduce the discount range to more than 100 yuan, the cost is already 900 yuan, if selling price is less than 900 yuan, how can the enterprise survive?

Similarly, if the market cost of a product is 900 yuan,while the LED street light manufacturer tells you that their sales price is less than 900 yuan, I can almost certainly tell you that they will not make concessions from the enterprise's profits,generally make adjustments on the cost of 900 RMB.

At this time, if the enterprise wants to maintain a profit of 100 yuan and control the sales price at 900 yuan lower than the market cost, there is only one possibility, that is, its production cost is less than 900 yuan.It also means what we often call cutting corners and shoddy quality.All sales prices below the prevailing market cost are attractive shoddy prices! Please stay away.

Then return to the composition of LED street lamp price.In addition to enterprise operating costs, the price of LED street light basically = lamps with light source + overall hot-dip galvanized lamp pole + power supply + buried cage + artificial, packaging, transportation.LED street lamp cap is composed of lamp shell, reflective piece, lens (lampshade), light source chip, etc.In terms of LED light source lamps, the factors affecting the price are:

What factors affecting the price of LED light source lamps?

The quality of chips and lamp beads

LED street lamps use solid-state semiconductors to directly convert electrical energy into light energy, and the quality of the chip directly determines the luminous quality of the lamp beads.Chips are domestic and Taiwan chips and imported chips.The price varies greatly from chip to chip.There are also lamp bead material, welding line, filling glue and other processes of material and quality.

LED packaging technology

LED packaging refers to the packaging of light-emitting chips, which not only requires to protect the wick, but also to be able to transmit light.The main packaging: resin packaging and silicone packaging.Resin packaging is cheaper,everything else is the same.The heat dissipation performance of silica gel package is better, so the price is slightly more expensive than resin package.

Radiators and heat dissipation technology

Part of the electric energy is converted into heat energy when the lamp bead is working.If the heat dissipation is not good, the service life of the LED lamp will be directly affected.This requires a good auxiliary way to heat, mainly passive and active heat dissipation two ways.Passive heat dissipation at present, most manufacturers use aluminum material with light weight and low price and high thermal conductivity as radiator.And the latest plastic bag aluminum heat dissipation relative to aluminum advantages, become the market trend.Active heat dissipation is divided into air cooling, liquid cooling, heat pipe and semiconductor refrigeration.

Main board structure of LED street lamp

At present, the main board on the market has two kinds of constant voltage and constant current.When the lamp body temperature becomes high, constant pressure can not protect the motherboard, will reduce the life of the lamp.While the stability of constant current motherboard is high, performance is good, but the price is more expensive.

At the same time, different specifications, different brands and even different styles will have different prices.The thickness, material and height of the lamp pole are also different, and even whether there are patents on the technology and appearance of the lamp, the quality of the power supply, the type and brand quality of the controller will lead to different prices.

The price composition of LED street lamps is determined according to the actual use demand.Before, someone asked me the price of LED street lights and gave me a specific configuration. I can match at least three prices for the same configuration.Of course, the same configuration, different prices, depending on the quality of the brand, this is also I just mentioned, the kind of cheap slogan of inferior quality goods.

That's why they tell street light engineers, especially inexperienced buyers, that they can sell the same configuration 30% cheaper than their counterparts .I give you an example:Light source is a less known and inferior brand, and actual power is 20% lower than standard power brightness,so the light source cost is cheaper.Light pole adopts non integral hot dip galvanizing,so the cost is cheaper again.The thickness of lamp pole is thinner, then the price is cheaper once again.The power supply is the less known and inferior brand, non-intelligent constant current,so the cost is cheaper again and again.So as you know, that's how cheap products are made.Cutting corners on raw materials and using low-end inferior products on core accessories can sell at a lower price than the cost of the industry, but it is not responsible for outdoor lighting projects.And the led street lights manufacturer is also not reliable and responsible.

Summary:

The price of LED street light is not invariable, the specific price depends on the parameters of LED street lamp,is determined according to the actual use demand.Different demand configurations correspond to different prices.In order to meet customers' psychological demand for low prices, some bad suppliers reduce production costs rather than really reduce prices from corporate profits. This is also where some buyers are easily confused.Remember, you get what you pay for!Don't just focus on the price, the quality of the product and whether the manufacturer is professional and reliable are also important aspects.
