How to Promote LED Filament Bulbs on Your Markets?

Traditional incandescent bulbs are being used less and less due to their high-power consumption and short lifespan, while the newly promoted LED filament bulbs are being marketed as alternatives to incandescent bulbs, retaining most of the structure of incandescent bulbs, only replacing the tungsten filament inside the bulb with an LED light source. The current demand for LED filament bulbs is high and how they are promoted in your market deserves the attention of importers.

I.Types of LED filament bulbs

LED filament bulbs and incandescent bulbs look almost the same, but a closer look will reveal that inside are several separate linear LED light sources, which can disperse light at full angles as with incandescent bulbs. LED filament series are divided into hard filament and soft filament due to different substrate materials.

1. Rigid filament bulbs

Rigid LED filaments are based on sapphire, ceramic, glass and metal and are available in straight or curved forms. Rigid filaments are usually mounted on a substrate using positive fixing technology and are electrically connected by gold or alloy wires. Rigid filaments are relatively homogeneous in shape but have better thermal conductivity.

2. Flexible Filament Bulbs

Flexible LED filaments are made of soft and moldable copper foil covered FPC film as the base material. The use of non-backplate flip-chip LEDs simplifies the process, makes production quick and reliable and is resistant to high temperatures. The use of flexible LED filaments has resulted in a wide variety of antique bulbs with variable filament shapes and beautiful curves. Depending on the arrangement of the filament in the bulb, there are already T-shaped and F-shaped filament bulbs and new shapes are emerging all the time.

II.The characteristics of LED filament bulbs

1. Beautiful and decorative

LED filament bulbs use the same transparent glass bulbs as incandescent bulbs, which are highly translucent and beautiful. The glass bulb can be made into various shapes and can be changed at will with the shape of the flexible filament. Global, candle-shaped, T-shaped, etc., even irregular looking shapes. The bulbs can be matched to different styles of luminaires, even if the bulb is exposed on a bulb base. In addition, you can also control the amount of yellow and green phosphor mixed with red powder to adjust the color temperature of the filament, but also available in yellow, green and other LED chips to create yellow, green and other colored filaments.

2. Energy saving and high efficiency

The LED filament bulb is a 360-degree high-quality three-dimensional light source with a color rendering index of 90 or more and a luminous efficiency of 110lm/W or more. The energy consumption of white LED is only 1/8 of an incandescent bulb and 1/2 of an energy-saving bulb, and the lifetime can be more than 100,000 hours. LED technology is advancing day by day, its luminous efficiency is making amazing breakthroughs, and the price is decreasing.

3. High market versatility

LED filament bulb and incandescent bulb appearance is very similar, although the replacement cost is high but more energy-efficient and durable, so the overall assessment of the use of LED filament bulb more cost-effective, and filament bulb regardless of the bulb shade or filament can be achieved in a variety of shapes, as an alternative to incandescent bulbs more easily accepted by the market. In addition, compared with other bulbs and lanterns, the technical requirements of bulbs are relatively unified, and the circulation in various markets is stronger, which makes them more suitable for importers who are not large in scale as their first choice.

4. Can be intelligent

The development of LED lights can already be said to be a breakthrough in the lighting industry, and the combination of LED lighting and intelligence is a turning point. The development of science and technology to promote all kinds of furniture to intelligent development to provide people with a more comfortable environment, LED bulbs, including LED filament bulbs also fully meet the intelligent requirements. 2700K-7500K dimming, suitable for different use conditions of the brightness adjustment, and smartphone connection for voice control, timing, music rhythm, situational preferences, etc. LED filament bulbs a small bulb has A small bulb can be used to create different home scenes for you.

Of course, intelligent lighting is already a trend that is constantly moving forward, and in addition to LED filament bulbs, there are many other bulbs that can be made intelligent.

At the moment, LED filament bulbs are more in demand in Europe and the USA, but demand for these products is gradually rising in other countries such as South East Asia and the Middle East. Lighting importers who are new to the industry or operating on a smaller scale may wish to try LED filament bulbs when it comes to category selection, as it has options in terms of its appearance, usage performance, market acceptance and predictable development trends.
