Compared to the dogmatic technology products of the US and Europe, the single products of Australia and Brazil, only the products and quantity of the Chinese and Indian markets are huge. Therefore, as a practitioner in the lighting industry, there is no reason not to pay attention.
I believe that friends who have been Indian customers are deeply touched. Even if you quote him the cost price, he still says "High, very high price".
Super cost-effective, it is the rule of thumb in the Indian market.
What are the popular products in the Indian market?
The Indian market has a huge stock, the first to be the light strip, and later the bulb and the tube. For the past year, it has been the T5 bracket, the T8 tube, the barrel and the panel light.
How important is BIS certification in India?
The BIS certification in the Indian market is very similar to that of CB. It is similar to our domestic 3C certification, but it is one less EMC test than 3C, that is, it only tests the safety regulations of lamps/power supplies, plus a regional consumption habit. “Lightning strike, low harmonic".
India BIS certification, long time to take the certificate, ranging from 3 months to 6 months. In some cases, the test passed without giving the certificate. In a word, India's BIS certification can be found without money.
Because the premise of certification is based on the central idea of ​​“super cost-effectiveâ€. The Indian market is not like the United States, everyone uses the best materials, the best craftsmanship, and the best optical design. The Indian market is about the design principle of “as long as the muscles don’t fatâ€.
The requirements for power supply for BIS certification can be summarized as:
90-277VAC, AC wide voltage input, adapt to the complex grid environment in India;
Power factor PF>0.9, high power factor product, high power utilization, low burden on the grid;
2.5KV lightning protection against surges to cope with multi-thunder seasons and anti-grid interference;
THD<10% is the need for government procurement tenders in India, a power-hungry country, with less pollution to the power grid;
High voltage resistance, power supply / lamp input to the output end to withstand 3.75KV high voltage test to ensure safety;
If you can do the above, then your power/lamp products can apply for BIS certification.
This is a prerequisite, but not all conditions. “Super cost-effective†is the true meaning of the Indian market.
Power supplies and luminaires sold to India are now installed separately, and the power supply must provide effective BIS certification. If there is no certificate, there will be huge sales risks, and the bosses have to assess the loss.
Typical parameters for Indian BIS certified power supplies?
Based on more than three years of customer service, India's external power supplies are mainly used in LED downlights, spotlights and panel lights. The basic parameters are basically the same as in other markets.
Because of the savings in labor and transportation costs, the screw-free design of the housing and the snap-on wire, plus the connection of the mating plug wire is very popular. But environmental protection and fire retardant protection must be considered.
The power label generally contains the basic information of the product (model, wattage, input voltage range, output voltage range, output current, typical temperature value, product identification...), but the BIS certification number must be clearly written.
SKD and CKD trade models for Indian LED lighting
Like other countries in the world, India is also a country with strict imports and relatively loose exports. With the rise of human resources and business operating costs in China's Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta economic belts, the “super cost-effective†demand pursued by India and other markets cannot be met, and India's domestic raw material supply has not formed an industrial chain. Therefore, India has established a number of LED manufacturing plants, mainly engaged in the assembly and processing of LED lamps and light sources.
Almost all raw materials and semi-finished products are imported from China.
The trade of “SKD and CKD†to India has been popular in recent years. This type of trade is mainly concentrated in "bulb lamps, T5 integration and T8 lamps", because such light source products have a small number of components, a large number of general materials, and a highly replaceable device.
In terms of LED lamps, there is currently no large-scale CKD order, and more is the SKD trade method.
For the foreseeable future, India is likely to become the biggest competitor of Chinese lighting products.
India has a large population base and strong consumer demand. The government continues to increase its support for new energy. In the foreseeable future, perhaps 3-5 years, India will realize the localization of LED lighting sources (China, Taiwan and other companies in India) The establishment of factories also counts in localized manufacturing), from importing countries to exporting countries, resulting in China's meager profits on LED light source products will be further squeezed.
China's LED lighting companies must rely on the current technology reserves and talent reserves, and turn more to the research and production of LED lighting products to consolidate their market position and prepare for the next lighting products PK.
