We see various styles and designs of courtyard lights in the market, so why are some courtyard lights so expensive? In fact, the high prices of courtyard lights hinder their popularity, especially with some profit-driven merchants who take advantage of customers’ lack of knowledge by quoting unreasonable prices for high profits. We all know that the price factor determines cost performance. Whether the advantages and prices of lighting fixtures are acceptable to the public is one of the key factors affecting the replacement of traditional lighting with courtyard lights. If someone quotes the price of low-end courtyard lights too high, customers who invest in high-priced products may face issues shortly after use, leading to a loss of confidence in outdoor street lights and courtyard lights, which ultimately affects the entire courtyard lighting industry’s development.
Here we introduce the components that determine the price of courtyard lights, which allows us to find something that is worth the price. The packaging cost of courtyard lights accounts for a considerable proportion of the price, approximately 50%. We need to choose a more suitable packaging structure. Existing packaging does not meet the design needs of lighting fixtures, resulting in high design costs. Bold innovative designs are the way forward in product design; however, we mostly continue to rely on the packaging structures of large companies, with very little innovation and insufficient confidence in innovating courtyard lights.
The material costs for courtyard lights themselves are not high, with the actual chip cost accounting for only 15%. Other costs mainly stem from packaging, heat dissipation, structural costs, and power supply. Looking at the composition of costs, reducing the price of courtyard lights needs to occur at the manufacturing stage. Simply asking for lower prices has minimal impact. Overall pricing of lighting manufacturing needs to be reasonable, and the planning should be sound. A comprehensive requirement for making just one part cheaper is of limited effect; rather, the overall design structure of the lighting must be economical, which is crucial for optimization.
Currently, design makes up about 20% of the price of courtyard lights, with some being higher. With technological advancement, the cost of power supplies is around 5-10%, which is reasonable. Actual heat dissipation design is quite simple, focusing on two directions: first, the distance between the courtyard light’s chip and external heat-dissipation components should be as short as possible; the shorter the path, the better the heat dissipation design will be. Second, there should be enough resistance to heat dissipation, which means there needs to be a sufficient path for transferring heat. This cost mainly falls under the structure, and the heat dissipation cost is not very high. The heat dissipation expense should remain at around 20%. Historically, low labor costs in our country have kept courtyard light prices at very low levels; thus, a cost of 20% is deemed reasonable. The question is how to be more innovative and design more reasonably. Structural design constitutes a weak link in courtyard lights, significantly lagging behind and requiring quality improvement. This requires professionals in our industry to explore innovations actively, cultivate talent in courtyard light design, optimize products, and develop more new products. Only then can the courtyard lighting industry develop healthily and sustainably, benefiting everyone in the industry and allowing them to thrive.
