Are Chinese lamps better than foreign ones? Which is more important, cost or innovation?

An excellent shape of the lamps and lanterns, not only can instantly attract the eye, for the space lighting environment to play a “pleasing” role; for manufacturers, the unique shape of the lamps and lanterns is also an “important weapon” to enhance sales.

When it comes to the design of lamps and lanterns, the first thing that comes to mind are the beautiful and whimsical lamps and lanterns from abroad, while the domestic ones are quite inferior in this respect. So, where is the gap between Chinese and foreign lamp design? How can companies improve their lighting design capabilities …… What is the gap between Chinese and foreign luminaire design?

Compared to innovation and user research, Chinese luminaire companies are still at the stage of considering cost control. It is true that the cost factor is the reason why many luminaire designs are stagnant, but at the root of it, cost is only one of the links, innovation and user experience are not done well, and the products can only fight the price war. This is why some people buy brands at a high price and do not want to sell products at a low price.

Fortunately, there are now manufacturers who are aware of the problem and have started to seek changes. But innovation is a very difficult thing for lighting companies to improve the level and quality of their own products, they need to make changes from themselves first.

How should luminaire companies improve their luminaire design capabilities and enhance their core competitiveness?
