Thanks to the promotion of government’s energy conservation policy and the enhancement of outdoor solar LED lighting technology, there is a trend to replace traditional road or street lamps with integrated solar LED lights in a growing number of countries and regions. The huge development space of integrated solar LED lights has attracted a large number of LED enterprises to enter this market. As a result, there has been a war between the price and quality in solar LED light market. In fact, this phenomenon is more serious in LED lights. However, traffic lighting is very important to vehicles and humans’ safety on road, so integrated solar LED lights need to ensure quality rather than to fight for price !

The enormous profit margin of solar LED road lights has lead to cut - throat competition, and product price is getting lower and lower. There was an old saying in solar LED lighting market ‘There is no cheapest, only cheaper.’ It has caused a headache to many LED businesses which focus on quality, because there is a variety of price in market. For non-professional consumers and customers, many of them only see the current profit, without considering much more in a long term. These consumers and customers will more likely choose a relatively cheaper product.

However, outdoor lighting itself should request high quality. Traffic lighting should be a part of infrastructure as a public lighting, which requires high quality solar LED lights, so that it can be cost effective not only from the aspect of lighting, energy saving and emission reduction, but also from maintenance in a later stage.

At present, the competition of integrated solar LED lights have changed from volume and cost to the quality. This is undoubtedly good news to high-quality integrated solar LED lights manufacturers, but the price of high quality lights is still a little bit expensive, and the recovery of manufacturing cost is very slow. "Therefore, in order to win the war between price and quality, manufacturers have to increase additional value of their products, and in the meantime reduce production costs.", commented by Greco Solar, a solar power and integrated solar lighting company.
