The street lights at night provide brightness to people. LED street lights are used for illumination, but what do we actually buy when we purchase street lights?
We are buying light, indeed. We spend money to buy light, so how can we get more light for less money?
Is it true that cheaper street lights will provide more light? This is incorrect. If the price is low, it means that there has been compromise on materials and craftsmanship. Poor materials lead to lower prices, but also to inferior performance, which fails to achieve energy-saving effects.
So what do we buy when we purchase street lights? The answer is light and service. First, light: how can we get more light for less money? This is measured by the cost-effectiveness of street lights. Generally, LED street lights offer brightness levels like 120 lumens per watt. Second is service, which includes pre-sales and post-sales services. Pre-sales cover whether manufacturers can provide complete solutions for consumers’ needs, such as verifying if the provided street lights meet consumers’ brightness requirements.
Pre-sales also involve the production processes of street lights. Quality is determined by details; features like light decay tests, anti-static measures, high and low-temperature resistance, pressure testing, and aging tests are essential for producing quality street lights. Keeping prices low often means cutting out these crucial manufacturing processes. Training of workers and attention to detail in the production process require significant time and effort to perfect.
Post-sales services generally relate to the warranty and maintenance of street lights. The warranty issue ties back to raw materials, as the quality of the power supply and LED chips determines the warranty period. Poor quality components can lead to unstable performance or even failures, preventing street lights from functioning properly. This leads to many low-quality street lights being warranted for only one year. Post-sales service also involves resolving issues that arise during use.
No company can manufacture high-performance street lights at low prices; every company needs to make a profit. If the price falls below a certain threshold, the only options left are using inferior products or not engaging in that business at all. Just like buying a phone, we must seek products that offer good value for money that suit our needs and should not just pursue low prices.
