In accordance with the previously announced "China out of incandescent road map", if the assessment goes well, our country will ban the sale and import from October 1 this year, 15 watts and above ordinary incandescent lighting. But industry experts point out, you want to fully complete incandescent delisting plan, government and business must join forces to advance. In fact, the ban is difficult to promote large part because there is no real alternative to incandescent effective new products.
If the evaluation goes well, from next month, four years of continuous incandescent "retirement" program will enter a crucial stage, that is, all 15-watt incandescent lamp above shall reproduction and imports, which means that the power of incandescent "bad one less" natural selection into the stage. In our ordinary life used in the production of incandescent lamps of 15 watts or more basic, which means the vast majority of incandescent lamps are about to say goodbye to us.
China plans to use four years to make the incandescent "retire"
The so-called incandescent, is that we know very little of that year by the Edison light bulb. This prototype appeared in 1879, lighting appliances to now have 137-year history of use. But this was a great invention, but now it has become an object to be upgraded. In fact, in all electrical lighting, the incandescent lamp efficiency is lowest, it consumes only about 2% of electricity can be converted into light, the rest in the form of heat loss. Since the luminous efficiency is too low, many countries have already phased out incandescent lamps. Originally early 2007 the Australian government announced the first comprehensive legislation to phase out incandescent light began, there have been Canada, Japan, the United States, European Union, South Korea and China Taiwan and other countries and regions have issued the incandescent phase-out plan.
China is incandescent production and consumption country, according to estimates, China's lighting electricity consumption accounts for about 12% of total electricity consumption. China is also released in 2011, "China out of incandescent road map." According to this roadmap, our country will be October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012 set the transition period. From October 1, 2012, prohibit the sale and import of 100 watts and above ordinary incandescent lighting; from October 1, 2014, banned the sale and import of 60 watts and above ordinary incandescent lighting, and based on energy efficiency standards prohibit the production, sale and import of light efficiency is lower than the limit value of energy efficiency inefficient halogen lamps; October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016, China's policy of pre-assessment, follow-up adjustment policies. If the assessment is successful, starting from October 1 this year, China will ban the sale and import of 15 watts and above ordinary incandescent lighting.
However, some industry experts believe that, you want to fully complete incandescent delisting plan, government and business must join forces to advance. In fact, the ban is difficult to promote large part because there is no real alternative to incandescent effective new products. From this perspective, lighting enterprises to increase R & D investment to produce the genuine energy savings have both high quality products in order to make sense of incandescent "retire."
CFLs may "sell your not saving"
In fact, long before people have gradually started in many cases replace incandescent lamps with energy-saving, but in the past years, several times the price of energy-saving incandescent lamp is still not able to completely replace incandescent lamps. In fact, in addition to the price of your outside lights are energy-saving like that really marked gradually raises questions of consumers.
Previously, energy-saving lamp market has been dominated by domestic leading position Philips energy-saving lamps has been detected since the actual power consumption seriously overweight and refuses to recall the move a serious blow to the image of the market energy-saving lamps. Beijing Consumers Association, was on the market at random samples of 53 kinds of energy saving lamps were tested, the results of only 52.83% of the energy-saving lamps in line with national standards, including "black list" of the most famous brand is Philips. Test results showed that the detection of a 5-watt Philips energy-saving lamps, the actual power of 12 samples were from 6.1 to 6.4 watts, respectively, exceeded 22-28%, which exceeded the actual power of all products, means that the energy-saving lamp power consumption significantly greater than the actual label value.
Since the detection of the Beijing Consumers Association, but also spawned a Chinese energy-saving lamp industry's first recall the case. Immediately after the announcement of the test results, the domestic brand NVC announced the recall of defective products which are detected in the country, related to the purchase of energy-saving lamp models consumers can apply for free return. But since then, Philips has been ignored on the test results, leading the entire market of energy-saving lamps has been questioned.
Vicious competition for LED lighting "prematurely"
LED lighting was once seen as a great potential in our future lighting technology. However, from a few years ago began to domestic enterprises rush headlong into this area, regardless of the lighting, whether electronic related businesses all have set foot in LED lighting, leading the blue ocean rapidly becoming the Red Sea. At the same time due to the low barriers to entry, many do not have the technical strength of the enterprise products at low prices as the main weapon, and ultimately the entire industry price system is rapidly pulled, resulting in the industry's most unprofitable enterprises or even a loss. LED lighting industry even has been called China's electronics industry is one of the fastest from hope to despair industry.
National Bureau of Statistics has released the second half of last year had a show in the country over 2600 LED lighting business statistics, the first half of 2015 loss-making enterprises reached 579, accumulated losses totaled 1.215 billion yuan. This means a loss of the entire domestic LED lighting industry more than two percent, far higher than the national light industry loss, compared with a loss of 2014 over the same period has also increased. Also, according to the LED industry research firm LEDinside statistics, last year in mainland China LED industry's overall performance in the doldrums, the LED packaging market, for example, the size of the year was $ 8.8 billion, an increase of only 2%.
Faced with the industry downturn trend in the past two years we have had a lot of big companies have exited the LED lighting industry, although this reduces the intensity of competition in the market, but in fact, for the standard of the industry is not a small impact. Also noteworthy is that, due to the highly competitive Chinese LED lighting industry even worse, even many international lighting giants have abandoned this area, including Philips, Osram are all sold its lighting business, GE Lighting can also opt out of the Asian market in Europe and America stick focus market. There Insiders pointed out that although these giants is overwhelming competitive Chinese market, but overall this to China's lighting industry is good or bad is difficult to predict.
