Another big US factory announces a rise in the price of lighting products

In an open letter to the distributor in May 15th, the American Eaton Corporation said:

As the cost of metal materials, raw materials, cargo and parts continues to rise, the Eaton Lighting Department will increase the price of the legacy technology products and the high-end LED and control products (select LED and controls products).

The average increase was 6%, according to the range of product types. The higher range of metal materials may be higher than 6%.

Eaton illuminated that this adjustment will begin in July 16th this year. And said that, due to the continuous changes in the material market and government regulations, Eaton lighting has the right to change the time of implementation and the range of price increase.

A few days ago, another US company, Acuity Brands, announced a 6% increase in the price of all traditional lighting products and multiple LED products in the United States since June 11th.

As for the price rise of Acuity, a British manufacturer said the move could be seen as a "turning point" for years of falling prices. Media Lux said "the bold statement of the Acuity this week will be emulated by other brands."
