“Although we are very seriously in the tender, but the main effort will focus on the promotion of the general energy-saving lamps.” Successful LED Down light project’s Xiamen Topstar Lighting, head of marketing, told reporters that, even with the financial subsidies, but the current price of super led, it is still a certain distance entering into the homes of ordinary people. “Unless those families just need to use LED lights, or affordable energy-saving lamps are more easily extended, after all, the big gap price shows here.”
It is understood that the bid price of the energy-saving lamp enterprises in this year slightly are higher than last year. In the Household energy-saving lamps, the winning products are ranging from 5W to 24W. Take the enterprises in Fujian Province for example, the lowers price is RMB7/unit, and the highest price is RMB13/unit in the bid. In accordance with the provisions, these energy-saving lamps will be promoted the sale by state subsidies. Subsidy funds will take an indirect way of subsidies, and supply to the end users.
According to the subsidies in previous years, the users of urban and rural residents each lamp were given 50% subsidy, that Fujian residents purchase price of financial subsidies for energy-saving lamps “this year will from $ 3.5 to $ 6.5. But Last year, after subsidies, the cheapest is 3.2 yuan/unit only. The Fujian Province explanation is that the sharp rise in phosphor powder lead to the rising cost of energy-saving lamps.
In contrast, because of the rigid material price decreasing, coupled with the fierce market competition, although super led lights are more expensive than energy-saving lamps for the first time, yet comparing the same product of the same period last year, the price has dropped more than 30%.
LED Insiders said that the bid price is still low compared with the market price, but still higher than the energy-saving lamps, because of the high production costs of LED lights. So far, the state has not been announced subsidies range of super led lights, but 50% of urban and rural residents will enjoy that subsidy, and the cheapest will be RMB17.5/unit.
