Break through the threshold of UL certification Chinese companies break into the LED market in United States

Recently, the American Association LED Shenzhen , Zhongshan and other mainstream LED lighting companies to sell products to the U.S. market , which means that the domestic sales of LED lighting will usher in greater development space. However, according to the reporter, Chinese LED enterprises to enter the U.S. market, the biggest barriers is the need to get UL certification, UL certification and annual cost a lot of money , which the industry believes , UL certification more than the threshold , but to promote enterprises to improve product quality way .

    China LED companies vied for the U.S. market

    In early 2013 the U.S. government began to systematically introduce alternative tungsten program , in accordance with the relevant laws "First prohibit more than 100 watts maximum power consumption of tungsten production and sales .

    According to the president of the American Association of Yu Lingyun LED introduced as the world's largest consuming country and home building materials importer , the U.S. government has realized that LED is sure to replace tungsten , tungsten because not only environmental costs of electricity , while the leading semiconductor lighting a revolutionary new light source , no heat, two diodes one pass, light out , no heat, but also save electricity. "But after all, the price of LED products a lot more expensive than ordinary tungsten and tungsten can not possibly complete the transition to the use of the use of LED lights , the U.S. government has enacted laws this year , a total ban on production and use of all the tungsten . "

    Super bright , high power LED devices in China 's urban traffic signal has been widely used. LED lights with its high brightness , high reliability , low cost , long life and other characteristics, are favored urban traffic management departments.

    Yu Lingyun said that the production of certified products comply with safety regulations than the cost of the product is no safety certification would be much higher , about 50% , while in the United States selling safety certification of LED products, sales prices will also be much higher , flat amplitude " generally, in flat light , for example, also a 0.6 m × 0.6 m, to a box mounted on the top of an office lamp lighting , safety lights to sell 150 dollars , non- safety lamps sell 100 dollars, that is such differences 1.5:1 .

    UL -CCIC Co. Ma Yusheng said the development of led high bay light for sale in China is growing very rapidly , certified amount between 20 % to 30% , because the development of certified products are relatively quickly , it may not have anything to temporarily restrict its development , to promote certification increasing exports of products ; addition , LED product upgrading is relatively fast, for China 's manufacturing industry, certified more than to get certified , but to improve product quality and corrective products.
