LED Lighting "Quality Door" Event Reflection

The Quality Supervision Bureau of Guangdong Province announced on August 21st the results of the provincial-level special supervision and inspection of self-ballasted LED lamps. The spot inspection found that 17 batches of products were unqualified and the rate of discovery of unqualified products was 73.9%. Some of the LED lights of Knightson Lighting, Apulia, Wrigley, and BYD Lighting failed. Among them, Osram, Ops and other well-known brands have also emerged on the blacklist. The product in question involves protection from accidental contact with live parts, insulation resistance and dielectric strength after moisture treatment, mechanical strength, fault conditions, and fire and flame protection.

During the year of 3.15 this year, the Shanghai quality supervision department spot-checked a large-scale energy-saving lamp market on the spot, and found that a large number of products were unqualified. There was widespread use of "halogen powder" instead of "trichromatic color powder" as a raw material and shoddy phenomenon; other cities Sampling results also showed that the LED energy-saving lamps pass rate is mostly less than 50%. Specific to the consumer experience, often show that the purchase of LED energy-saving lamps costs more than traditional lamps, the service life is not long, easy to burn out, darken, or can not reach its full lighting effect.

On December 24 last year, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine announced the results of national supervision and spot checks on the quality of 17 categories of products in 2011. Among them, road and street lighting products, a subsidiary of Qinshang Optoelectronics Co., Ltd., Shandong Jinyuan Qinshang Optoelectronic Co., Ltd. is an LED street lamp. Was not tested. A total of 72 road and street lighting products produced by 72 companies in 11 provinces and municipalities including Tianjin, Liaoning, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Shandong, Henan, Guangdong and Chongqing were selected. However, the final monitoring results are not optimistic. The passing rate is only 58.3%, which means that more than 40% of the products do not meet the standards.

On May 31st of the same year, the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Quality Supervision carried out quality supervision and spot checks on 25 products including child-related products, prevention and control of influenza products, and filling of liquefied petroleum gas. The results showed that the products were produced by Guangzhou Ruiguang Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. A batch of BWLR-BF100A10-220V BRONT LED lamps failed the thermal test.

From the above sampling data, we can see that the LED lighting products pass rate is generally low, and there is a declining trend, can not help but feel chilling. For most consumers, LED energy-saving lamps are still new products. The emergence of new products in the promotion process is of paradoxical quality, and it is easier to shake consumer confidence in “weakness”. This status quo can be said that the LED industry under the flourishing appearance of the surging "undercurrent", the future of the LED industry.

Establishing a standard alliance in a timely manner is an inevitable move and inevitable choice in the development of LED standardization. It is a homeopathic move. The establishment of a standard alliance will speed up the development and implementation of alliance standards, establish a rapid response mechanism, solve the problem of too long time for the development of national standards, industry standards, and revisions to keep up with the pace of technological development; promote industrial quality through advanced alliance standards, and consolidate industry forces to regulate the market order. In view of this, semiconductor lighting standard alliances have been set up across the country, especially in Guangdong Province.

The most noteworthy issue is the recent new LED benchmarking system. It is understood that on August 13th acceptance of applications for acceptance testing by companies in accordance with the new version of the LED benchmarking system management standard began. The LED interior lighting products covered by the old system specification mainly include LEDs. Street lights, LED downlights, LED bulbs, LED tubes, and LED spotlights. The current version of the specification has been extended to LED tunnel lights and LED lighting products (miscellaneous). In the past two years, Guangdong Province showed many defects and limitations in the implementation of the old LED lighting benchmark system, including the inconsistency between the products provided for inspection and the actual mass production. The new version of the system will improve this defect.

Shenzhen LED Industry Standards Alliance and Nanhai District Semiconductor Lighting Standards Union are all actively promoting the development of LED industry standardization. They are committed to the cooperation of entities that have been researched, developed, applied and serviced by the LED industry alliance standards. According to the Aladdin Lighting News Network reporter, there are few standards relating to the LED industry at home and abroad, and very few relate to the main components, technical processes and key performance of the LED industry. The standards for detection of corresponding indicators are also lacking and have not formed relatively complete. LED and lighting fixtures standard system.

This year, the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Standardization took the lead in the joint "LED Lighting Standard Technology Alliance" consisting of 15 enterprises and institutions, and the "National Standard Alliance for Standard Optical Components" consisting of 22 domestic research institutes, listed companies, and leading companies. "Successfully established.

In addition, ZHAGA Alliance is an organization that standardizes LED light engine product standards and develops standardization of LED light engine product interfaces. The ZHAGA standard covers the following criteria: physical dimensions, optical, electrical, light distribution, heat dissipation, etc. The final realization of the products in the ZHAGA alliance between different manufacturers can be mutually compatible, interchangeable, and replaceable. The establishment of the ZHAGA standard will help prevent the market differentiation of non-compatible light engine products, so that LED lamp manufacturers can purchase the compatible LED light engine products in the market with confidence. In addition, the establishment of the ZHAGA standard has promoted technological innovation in LED lighting applications and increased the overall efficiency of the LED lighting industry, helping the regulatory and orderly LED lighting market.
