The EU will require that the light source must be replaceable

According to a foreign media LUX report, the draft EU regulation has already raised a possibility that it may return to the days of “lighting fixtures + replaceable light sources”.

The EU will require that the light source must be replaceable

According to this radical proposal, luminaire manufacturers will need to allow the light source to be removed and replaced from the luminaire by September 2020.

The Ecodesign draft law states: “Manufacturers and importers should ensure that light sources and individual controls within the scope of this regulation can be easily removed by the end user without causing permanent mechanical damage.”

“In the event that end-users cannot easily remove light sources and individual controls, manufacturers and importers should ensure that the product is designed in such a way that qualified professionals can easily remove the light source and separate controls.”

If these proposals are passed, they will have a major impact on the production of lamps.

In recent years, with LED occupying a dominant position in the market, manufacturers have integrated LEDs and light sources, and LEDs are usually connected to the body of a heat sink or device. Many luminaires, especially those with a high degree of protection, are fully sealed.

If you change to this new approach, it will be a major change for companies that invest heavily in automation. In addition, the proposed schedule of only 28 months is also expected to be challenged.

The proposal also believes that the use of tungsten halogen lamps and compact fluorescent lamps as light sources is effectively prohibited in 2020. The minimum efficiency requirement for all light sources is 85 lumens/watt and the maximum standby power is 0.5 watts.

This point of the regulations is opposed by cinemas and live broadcast venues because these venues rely on main light sources, such as HPL single ended tungsten lamps. According to previous laws, this area is immune. The Lighting Designers Association has launched a campaign called Save Stage Lighting to counter these suggestions.

Indian Ministry of Forests and the Environment: prohibiting the use of LED lights for fishing in Loch Tac Lake

The Loktak Lake in central Manipur, India, is known as the “Jewel of Manipur”. The Chiburremjo National Park on the lake is made up of many floating islands. The only “floating” national park in the world is also the main habitat of the endangered Cervus eldi eldi.

Indian Ministry of Forests and the Environment: prohibiting the use of LED lights for fishing in Loch Tac Lake

However, LED lamps have become popular among local fishermen in recent years, and the Indian Forest and Environment Ministry announced that for the ecology of Locklake Lake, fishermen are forbidden to use LED lights during night fishing. Offenders will be severely punished.

The lake is littered with large layers of soil mixed with organic matter. Locals call it “phumdis” (collectively referred to as floating islands). It looks like a series of floating islands. It is also like a marsh on the lake. The rich and varied species attract International attention. The area was also designated as a protected area in 1966 and was declared a national park in 1977.

The Rock Lake is also the lifeblood of the local economy. It is not only one of the important sources of hydroelectric power in India, but also used by local residents as irrigation water and drinking water. The lake and the soil layer above it are also the livelihoods of neighboring fishermen.

When the fishermen sail by boat in the lake at night, they will light a string of lights on the boat for lighting. Fishermen have recently begun to use high-efficiency LED lights, but the Ministry of Forests and the Environment has announced that the use of LED lights by fishermen in Loctak Lake during night fishing is prohibited and offenders will be severely punished.

The government admitted that fishing is a major source of livelihood for residents around the country. It is impossible to ban it, but it indicates that LED lights have caused disturbances to the habitat of several migratory birds.

Th Shyamkumar Singh, Minister of Forests and Environment, suggested that fishermen should not enter the lake for fishing at night.

Singapore took the lead in using 110,000 street lights to build a smart city

March 13th, “Lianhe Zaobao” reported that according to research institute Juniper Research’s latest 2017 global smart city performance index report, Singapore ranks first in the world’s top 20 smart cities, surpassing London, New York, and Seoul, South Korea.

Singapore took the lead in using 110,000 street lights to build a smart city

In 2014, Singapore upgraded “Smart City 2015” to “Smart Country 2025,” and plans to promote the nations’ efforts to build a smart city nationwide. This is expected to build the worlds’ first smart country. This is the worlds’ first blueprint for smart countries. In the planning and implementation of smart cities, many ideas and practices in Singapore are bright. Among them, the use of street lights to intelligently upgrade the networking and build a shared infrastructure in cities has taken a key step from theory to practice.

Under the background of Singapore’s efforts to develop “Smart Country 2025,” Singapore’s Land Transport Department (LTA) proposed a “Intelligent + LED” upgrade program for public lighting, and plans to transform 110,000 sets of existing high-pressure sodium lamps into smart ones. LED intelligent street light of control system. After the transformation, it can directly reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs, improve operational efficiency, and achieve on-demand lighting.

The project is an important implementation of the “Smart Country 2025” implementation in Singapore. The government will rely on the island’s street light network to deploy future smart city applications, including plans to install nearly 600,000 smart city sensing devices. The street light communication network must not only guarantee the high reliability, stability, and safety of street lighting control, but also connect the city’s long-term planning and deployment for the next 10 years.

Starting from the “Smart Country 2025” strategy, Singapore has put forward very strict technical indicators for lighting products, control systems and system integration. Road lighting has always been an important indicator of the governments’ infrastructure construction and maintenance. In addition to requiring 99.9% coverage of system communications, it also puts strict requirements on the overall system response time, air upgrades, system integration, and security. Claim. Singapore seeks and integrates advanced technology resources globally. TELEMATICS Singapore, Cisco USA, UK TELENSA, Japan PARADOX, China Rongwen Energy Technology, and Itron Inc. in the United States and local partners compete for bids.

After 2 years of testing and technical demonstration, the Land Transport Department of Singapore (LTA) announced the successful bid of 110,000 sets of street lighting upgrades. Itron and Rongwen Energy Technology of the United States rely on the stability, communication speed, and reliability of the IPV6+MESH communication technology and the central management system. , Security, and the advantages of scalable applications and numerous large-scale application cases around the world have successfully won. So far, this is the largest and highest standard LED street lamp intelligent upgrade project undertaken by domestic companies overseas.

Release of optical radiation safety standards for LED lighting equipment

Recently, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People’s Republic of China (AQSIQ) and the National Standards Committee approved the publication of the National Standard for Optical Radiation Safety Testing Methods for Semiconductor Lighting Equipment and Systems. The standard is based on the light environment constructed by lighting equipment and systems, and it is aimed at the actual use of the lighting environment. In this case, the safety classification, measurement and evaluation methods of the light radiation in the field lighting environment are proposed.

Release of optical radiation safety standards for LED lighting equipment

With the rapid development of LED technology, it has been widely used in general lighting and display fields. However, due to the inconsistency and disharmony of human biological characteristics, such as the harm of blue light, modern lighting sources such as LED pose a new threat to human health. The visual health of lighting products has gradually become the focus of current peoples’ attention.

The introduction of this standard provides a design basis for the design of the lighting environment, provides a test basis for the on-site measurement and evaluation of the light radiation safety of the lighting environment, provides data basis for the acceptance and rectification of the lighting project, and uses the lighting safely for the user. The light environment provides security.

Op lighting down the price of LED products

Op Lighting’s revenue structure in 2017: home lighting revenue accounted for about 40%; commercial lighting products accounted for more than 20%; electrical products accounted for more than 20%, light source products accounted for less than 20%; 1Q18 company initiatively reduce the standard products ( Such as standard ceiling lamps, commercial tube spotlights, etc.) prices, resulting in lower gross profit margins. The main purpose is to increase market share and fight cross-border competitors. The company has a stronger production capacity, and the cost side will be reduced in the future.

Op lighting down the price of LED products

Decorative lights are personalized products, the price war does not work. At present, modern minimalist, new Asian fashion, Western-style retro, crystal lamp series have been introduced, and the Nordic Minimalist series will be launched this year.

Op Lighting has a number of channel outlets and channel management efficiency advantages. The company will continue to strengthen the channel construction, including pushing the 1,000-pyeong shop; the information system will be covered from dealers to high quality outlets.

The commercial lighting strategy is to gradually break through different market segments. At present, the company has entered the brand chain stores, office lighting market, subway, outdoor lighting market. Overseas markets have also developed rapidly.

Electrical products include switches, kitchen and bathroom products, and integrated ceilings. Ops currently ranks third in electrical products. This market and home lighting have channel synergy, and entering this market can also combat bulls and other cross-border entrants. In the future, we must strengthen design and service capabilities.

In 2018, the lighting industry faced pressure from cost pressures and falling demand in the first and second tier markets. When the market demand is not good, it is time for a competitive company like Op.com to stand out. Ops has the advantages of R&D, production, channels, and brand in the general lighting market. In 2018, it took the initiative to suppress its competitors in the standard goods market, and actively developed its products in decorative lighting, commercial lighting, and electrical products.
