In the year of the Snake Chinese New Year, LED lighting industry received a gift money envelope.
National Development and Reform Commission released on February 17 “semiconductor lighting energy industry planning and planning, said that by 2015, China’s general lighting incandescent bulbs which are more than 60W should be phased out completely; the market share for traditional efficient lighting products like energy-saving lamps are about 70%; leds functional lighting products market share are more than 20%. The plan also said: gradually increase financial subsidies LED lighting products promotion efforts; promote the demonstration and application of LED products in the medical, agricultural, arena, landscape lighting and other professional and special places; organize the famous architectural lighting applications, building intelligent lighting energy saving reform.
Planning explicitly means to eliminate inefficient products for the lighting industry, and to accelerate the green lighting market penetration. However, it is doubtful how long the “red envelope” effect can last? There are indications that the leds warming depends on policy support, but also depends on the establishment of its own set of quality assurance system, the high price of LED lighting products, but the quality may not be reliable, which spans the biggest obstacle on the path of industrial development.
Ideal replacement for traditional light source
The experts tell us: LED is a kind of lamp which can convert electrical energy into visible light solid-state semiconductor.
The experts also told us: lighting consumption usually accounts for 20% of the total power consumption of the whole society.
Obviously, if we reduce the electricity consumption of lighting, you can save a lot of energy for the community. While long life, high luminous efficiency, low radiation, low power consumption, energy saving of LED lights are significant. According to the United States, Japan’s forecasts to LED lighting efficiency, the United States 55% of the incandescent lamp and 55% of the fluorescent light will be replaced by leds, so that it can save $ 35 billion electricity every year, and it can reduce 755 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year; Japan 100% incandescent was replaced by LED, which could be reduced by 1 to 2 nuclear power plant generating capacity.
