Steel price increase double-edged sword lighting industry who cuts


“Steel prices have started to rise sharply after the Spring Festival!” A person in charge of a lighting company told this reporter that he had a strict and urgent look.

Since last year, China’s various commodities have been rising, and by January this year, prices have also shown a high momentum. In this context, the prices of steel and aluminum materials used extensively for commercial lighting and engineering companies in the lighting industry have also been rising. The price of steel products has skyrocketed in February this year, up by more than 30% from the previous two months. The price of lead materials is not to be outdone, and the increase rate has reached about 10% in the same period.

Like other industries, the lighting industry will face many difficulties and confusions in the rising winds of raw materials.

Soaring prices after the Spring Festival

According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on February 19, in the January 2008 price index, cities rose by 6.8%, rural areas rose by 7.7%; food prices rose by 18.2%, non-food prices rose by 1.5%; consumer prices rose by 8.5%, The price of service items rose by 2.6%.

According to a well-known domestic media analysis, for the moment, the momentum of domestic inflation and economic overheating have not been tamed in time, and the future price trend is still confusing.

Since the price of copper has soared in 2006, the price of steel and aluminum has not stopped, and there has been a wide increase. By February of this year, the price of steel has ushered in its rising "golden age." According to Li Tingyuan, the person in charge of Ai Yao Lighting, his company has been purchasing steel products at Baosteel. After the Spring Festival, steel products have skyrocketed. But for different sourcing companies, the rate of increase is not the same, the lowest increase reached 36%, and the highest increase was as high as 50%. The price of aluminum has also increased by more than 10%.

According to the information released online by the China Iron and Steel Association, in the middle of February, domestic cold-hot rolling (the steel widely used by commercial lighting and engineering lighting enterprises) has risen sharply, and the cold rolling increase is greater than that of hot rolling. In addition to Urumqi and Changsha, the price of cold-rolled 1.0mm market is more than 6,000 yuan/ton.

However, according to the monitoring of major steel markets in 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country, steel prices continued to rise slightly in January 2008. The overall average price of major steel products was 4,966 yuan/ton, up 1.49% from December 2007. It was up 24.6% from the same period last year. Several major domestic steel giants, including Baosteel, Anshan Iron and Steel, Wuhan Iron and Steel, and Shougang, have recently raised their ex-factory prices for their products.

In February, the price of steel has risen so much that commercial and engineering lighting companies are facing the “small ice disaster” that has just passed.

Plating Rectifiers

STP series plating rectifier power supply is an economical rectifier power supply made with high-frequency switching technology based on IGBT switching devices. It is an industrial power supply product developed by our company for electroplating, electrolysis, water treatment, hard oxidation and other industrial applications.


Stp Full Series


This series of electroplating power supplies are featured for complete control functions, stable performance, and competitive cost performance. Compared with the thyristor-based SCR plating rectifier power supply, the switching mode plating rectifier power supply has much higher efficiency. Under the same output power, up to 20% ~ 30% power loss can be reduced for the customers. This series of electroplating power supplies can reach ultra-high DC output of up to 2000KW with Max. current at 50000A.

The surface treatment industry does not have high requirements for plating DC power supply ripple, and most of models required for plating application are low-voltage and high-current output. The electroplating rectified power supply product removes the unnecessary LC circuit components at the input and output ends, and is targeted at the stability of the output current and the long-term operation capability of the high-frequency rectified power supply to meet the needs of the surface treatment process. In order to overcome the application's harsh environment and long-term high current working conditions, the power supply basically adopts the water-cooling method, and the internal components of the power supply are treated with three preventions, which can realize the effective heat dissipation of the power supply and the effective protection of the internal components of the power supply to improve the reliability of the rectifier power supplies.
