Up to 15%! Another wave of LED lighting and display companies has officially announced price hikes.

Starting in mid-September, many LED price adjustment notices have moved from the “issuance” phase to the “implementation” phase. Following the concentrated official announcements in August by Aike, Leiford, Inventronics, and Unilumin, three more companies—Shanghai Yaming, Rolaidis, and Bako Optoelectronics—have also rolled out new pricing: across hardware channels, landscape/architectural lighting, and LED displays, average increases range from 5% to 15%.

Shanghai Yaming

In mid-September, Shanghai Yaming Lighting Co., Ltd. issued a notice titled “Adjustment of Prices for 1923 Brand Hardware Lighting Products Sold Through Channel Partners,” stating that due to ongoing global supply chain volatility, procurement costs for metals, semiconductors, and certain components have continued to rise. Although the company has actively responded through internal management optimization, improved production efficiency, and enhanced inventory reserves, it remains difficult to fully absorb these cost pressures.

Therefore, to ensure stable product supply, reliable quality, and maintain long-term cooperative relationships, Shanghai Yaming has decided, effective September 15, to uniformly raise prices across its entire “1923” brand hardware lighting product line, with average increases ranging from approximately 5% to 15%.

The company added that it will further strengthen cost control, optimize supply chain management, and strive to keep overall product pricing relatively stable.

This marks Shanghai Yaming’s third price adjustment announcement for select products this year: starting February 1, LED lighting products sold through professional channels were raised by 2%–5%; and beginning May 15, prices for professional-channel lighting products increased by 3%–5%. The expansion of the price adjustment scope—from professional channels to hardware channels, and from 2%–5% to 5%–15%—reflects mounting cost pressures.

Rolaidis

In early September, Hangzhou Rolaidis Technology Co., Ltd. posted a notice on its official WeChat account titled “Notice on Product Price Adjustments,” explaining that recent sustained global supply chain disruptions have led to widespread price hikes for metal materials such as aluminum and copper, as well as core electronic components.

To ensure the long-term stability of superior product quality, dependable delivery capabilities, and sustained high-level investment in R&D innovation and customer service, the company has decided, effective September 7, to adjust prices for product lines significantly impacted by rising costs, with average increases ranging from 5% to 15%.

Rolaidis emphasized that it will continue to deepen internal cost optimization efforts to mitigate supply chain volatility, while fully committing to ensuring stable, reliable product deliveries and upholding stringent quality standards.

Bako Optoelectronics

On August 31, Bako Optoelectronics issued a “Product Price Adjustment Notice,” stating that soaring upstream raw material costs—such as LED chips, PCBs, and ICs—have driven some component price increases beyond 30%. Despite internal cost‑absorption measures, the company still cannot fully offset these pressures, and therefore announced a uniform 8% price hike across its entire product lineup, effective September 10, 2026.

Bako Optoelectronics clarified that orders placed and deposits paid before September 10 will continue to be honored at the original prices; any outstanding payments or newly placed orders will be subject to the revised rates.

To address persistent cost pressures, Bako Optoelectronics had already implemented price adjustments for its full range of COB and LED products in late May, with increases ranging from 5% to 10%. This latest move expands the scope from “select COB products” to “the entire product line plus an additional 8%,” further solidifying cost pass‑through effects on display‑related products.

Since its founding in 2008, Bako Optoelectronics has grown from a startup focused on LED display R&D into a national high-tech enterprise offering diversified products, including COB small-pitch LEDs, indoor/outdoor full-color displays, rental screens, and creative commercial displays, while also securing government contracts for Micro LED projects.

Looking at the reasons behind these price hikes, a common thread emerges: rising costs for metals like copper and aluminum, PCBs, semiconductor ICs, and LED chip components, compounded by supply chain volatility. In terms of timing, many companies have implemented multiple price adjustments within the year, underscoring the persistent nature of cost pressures. At the same time, most adjustment notices include transitional rules for existing orders, ensuring that customers who have already paid deposits are unaffected by the new pricing—a standard practice for maintaining customer relationships during periods of uncertainty. Going forward, trends in upstream raw material and component prices are likely to continue influencing the profit margins and pricing strategies of lighting and display manufacturers.
