Mid-power 3030-packaged LED products in the China market saw a significant price drop in March, and high-power ceramic-substrate LEDs saw a slight price drop, while prices of other products remained stable, according to LEDinside (a division of market research firm TrendForce).

High-power ceramic-substrate LED package products (up to 1000mA) continued to see a slight price drop in March of 0.8%. As for mid-power products, prices of 3030-packaged LED products fell by 5.2% as suppliers focus on product promotion.

In terms of new products, suppliers continued to improve performance, notes LEDinside analyst Terri Wang. For example, Nichia has introduced Optisolis, a new ultra-high-CRI mid-power 3030 LED, with an Ra above 95 and an R9 above 80. Since it emits no UV radiation, it is suitable for lighting in museums and art galleries, which require high-CRI and less UV radiation. Moreover, it can be used in retail lighting etc, notes LEDinside.
