International. With the rise of LED lighting and the government ban in many countries on the sale of incandescent lamps, a problem has been growing: the arrival of low-cost, low-quality Chinese products that directly affect consumers.
The association of lighting manufacturers, Anfalum, was the first to launch a warning voice in order to demand greater controls on products that come from this country and that are benefiting from the investments in disclosure of recognized companies.
Alfredo Berges, director of the Association, explained that the characteristics of efficient lighting promised by the new lighting systems, such as intensity and duration, are not met in these products and are leading to widespread dissatisfaction in users who paid a high price for a product that does not meet expectations.
The official pointed out that one of the main reasons for these products to be marketed is the little surveillance and control exercised by the authorities over the quality of products that come from China and, to a lesser extent, from other countries.
And although it is expected that users will be the ones who purify the market offer by acquiring only good quality products, it is estimated that the consequences that could leave the remaining brands would have a high cost, especially in advertising campaigns and price reduction through promotions.
