Perspectives from LEDinside

LEDinside states that the prices of 60W LED equivalent LED bulbs have undertaken a more evident drop. Since 60W equivalent bulbs takes up the biggest light bulb market share and is closer to the mainstream lighting specifications, the global big names have been taking a more aggressive approach in this area and hope to gain a bigger market share with more competitive prices.

However, LEDinside noticed that on account of the varying criteria among different countries for replacement bulbs, certain products may be able to meet the criteria of brightness, color temperature but fail to meet other less important ones. Hence, when manufacturers are striving to lower the prices in the hope of increasing market acceptance, they also need to emphasize more on the bulbs’ critical features such as beaming angle; in fact, these specifications will be one of the major focal point for the new products to be released in 2012.
