The price of LED bulbs replacing 60-watt incandescent lamps continues to decline significantly

LEDinside said that in October's LED bulb prices, prices in the United States fell significantly. In addition to the 3% drop in the price of replacing the traditional 40-watt LED bulbs, it has fallen by 10% in replacing the 60-watt segment. The current minimum price for replacing 60-watt goods is US$24.97, while the average retail price also comes to US$31.3. Compared with other regions, the unit price of its products appears to be relatively favorable to the people. The reason for the apparent decline in market prices may be the influence of brand manufacturers such as Philips' sales promotion strategy, which stimulates the effect of parity and makes the market price decline significantly.

Replace 40-watt incandescent LED bulbs, brand makers have dropped to 11.6 US dollars

In replacing the commodity part of the 40-watt incandescent light bulb, the average selling price of LED bulbs in October did not show significant fluctuations. This was mainly due to the increase in average selling prices in Europe. Although prices in most regions still fell by around 3%, due to commodity adjustments in the European region, the replacement of old and new products affected the entire average selling price, making the average selling price in October flat in September. It is worth noting that the price of 40 watts in South Korea is still relatively low. In particular, under the continuous price cuts of major brand manufacturers, the current lowest price has come to 11.6 US dollars, which is close to the 10 dollar sweet spot estimated by LEDinside.

As prices have continued to decline significantly, LED bulb prices have also been repeatedly lowered to a new low. The current average price per 1,000 lumens is already below US$48, which is closer to the expectations of market consumers. From the lighting trend, the market acceptance is also higher than before.

Therefore, many countries are adopting or considering adopting consumer subsidies policies to increase the use of LED light bulbs and energy-saving light bulbs. After China banned the publication of the incandescent light bulb route, it is expected that it will announce the recent subsidies or incentives by the end of 2011. In Taiwan, the government's current subsidy policy is still under discussion. It should be decided in advance to meet the market and international energy conservation needs.
