March 1, 2012, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Health Canada and the American Tack & Hardware Co. Inc. led high bay announced a voluntary recall of Chinese-made LED night.

The Amer Tac nightlights The recall involves three models, respectively, for the Amerelle(on the packaging of the product model 71 190), Amer tac (packaging products Model327 895) and the Everyday Basics (packaging products Model 076 092), led ribbon lighting, night the light son the product model is 71190 or 71.19 thousand A. For the rectangle of the nightlight,about 2.1875 inches, 3.5 inches wide, 1.25 inches deep, nightlights facing white or nickel white, with four horizontal openings, opening the top of a round lamp sensor. Nightlight son the back of the gray plastic material, led ribbon lighting,  marked with the Amer Tac ™ logo, the product model of SY “code and” the ETL. The recall is limited to the “SY” in the back of the standard nightlights. The nightlights for sale in the U.S. since March 2009 to October 2010, led ribbon lighting,priced at approximately $ 6 / lights.

The recalled product is about 229,390 (of which about 227 000, Canada 2390). The reasons for the recall, the nightlight is easy to short-circuit due to the circuit to overheat,melt or smoke caused by fire or caused by users burn hazard. Up to now, the American Tack & Hardware Co. Inc. has received 25 from the night-light smoke, melting or charring of the report, there is no personal injury accidents.

To this end, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Health Canada advised consumers to immediately stop using the recalled nightlights, led ribbon lighting, contact with American Tack & Hardware Co., Inc. for a full refund.

 

 

This situation will naturally such as According to statistics, Taiwan-funded LED ribbon lighting companies in the Guangdong region alone, more than 500. Accumulation of a large number of enterprises caused by the downstream industry chain industry concentration is not high, in fact, the profits of the downstream industry chain is rather limited, accounting for only 10% to 20% of the whole industrial chain, therefore, the phenomenon is particularly prominent enough to go round, the level of competition One can imagine such a situation will inevitably lead to a chaotic situation such as disorderly LED ribbon lighting market competition.

 

Plate construction of China’s lighting industry is more and more obvious, in addition to national strategic factors driving the local government contributed to the loss of this stage, most companies or industry will promote re-integration and reshuffle, corporate investors, which both a challenge and an opportunity, To Win, to seize the industry high ground, with the industry to adjust timing to create a brand may be a rare opportunity

 

The vicious competition will inevitably reduce the ability of LED high bay lighting market Absorptive capacity, there may even destroy market confidence in the newly established enterprise qualifications of different products varies greatly, seriously hurt the consumers’ trust, the development of a new industry dangerous lack of market recognition of existing industry will remain flat, but become a drag on the market, the situation is not optimistic, which is the major factor in the current market volume of products sold to no improvement.

 

 

Specialized research institutions Next Gen Research pointed out, the 2011 estimates, China LED ribbon lighting output will be over 150 billion yuan that China’s LED industry has good prospects for development in the country based on the following:

 

In terms of technology, the LED ribbon lighting has high technology growth bottleneck threshold low characteristics, domestic long-term accumulation of resources for research in the semiconductor field might be able to use, with a good research base. Although the domestic IC manufacturing base is relatively weak, relatively low level of technology, but some domestic enterprises to employ overseas technicians to join in the continuous technical breakthrough, the overall gap in international companies also continued to narrow.

 

LED is relatively small investment, initial investment of 100 million can build factories, domestic enterprises, low barriers to entry, easy rolling development, with the IC manufacturing LED panel manufacturing in terms of the investment of hundreds of billions of billions of yuan little more than “negligible”, the domestic companies easy access to the formation of industrial clusters, of course, may also lead to vicious competition, developed to a certain stage of market integration.

 

A huge domestic market, the LED high bay future main market is the general lighting market, the market capacity, end-consumer market is more dispersed and difficult to form a monopoly, the vast space of the domestic enterprises to survive.

 

Some domestic enterprises with core intellectual property rights, such as optical crystal silicon substrate GaN Blu-ray projects, the Dalian Road areas of the chip core technology are globally competitive, these enterprises are easy to form in the technical development of the demonstration effect, promote domestic enterprise market to grow up healthy.
