Short-lived products lead to market “short-circuit”

Macroeconomic regulation and control of real estate policies, investment in the real estate market slowdown is a major factor as the property downstream LED lighting industry to expand the production time to digest, but behind this, the LED lighting products are a deeper reason. Especially in civilian areas, the high price of LED lighting products, but the quality may not be reliable contradictions make it sales become less smooth. ” Domestic commercial led lighting industry, the prevalence of current energy efficiency is low, life is short, high costs, and other issues, which hinder the market penetration of LED lights” National Semiconductor Lighting Technology Standards Working Group deputy head of the Peng Wan-hua said.

The reporter visited the Shanghai Lamps and discovered, although  incandescent energy saving lamps are rare to be found, LED lights and energy-saving lamps became Lamps protagonist, but compared with the popularity of energy-saving lamps, commercial led lighting products are seldom to be asked. Many shopkeepers said: At present, the price of energy-saving lamps are about 10 yuan, while the price of ex-factory LED lights are more than 30 yuan, consumers are more sensitive to price, so it is happy to buy cheap energy-saving lamps instead of better energy-saving effect LED.

The reporter further visited and heard that although some consumers are scared by LED lighting products at high prices, yet most consumers are in fact more doubt whether its quality really passed. Peng Wanhua revealed that: LED chip life can up to hundreds of thousands of hours, the components’ life also have 50,000 -10 10,000 hours, while the domestic LED lamp life can only do 15,000 -2.5 million hours. What is the concept that the life have 15,000 -2.5 million hours? Suppose lights eight hours a day, so the service life of an LED bulb is about 5-8.5 years. Peng Wanhua thought, compared to the life of the LED chip and components, there is still much room for improvement of LED lamp life.

Commercial led lighting products in China’s exports have maintained good momentum, but due to the low capacity of some companies’ quality control, frequently lead to product quality issues. Clearly, If LED lighting want to enter into the tens of thousands of households, the first is to take the price down.

We know that today’s lighting is no longer the monotony of incandescent electrical light. The present light sources like metal halide, electrode-less lamp, energy saving lamps, HID lamps, LED, etc.; different lights will have different comparison; Take the good trend of development of LED lights, we should be aware of exactly where the difference between it and the ordinary lighting? Why commercial led lighting is so popular in today’s market?

Comparison of LED lighting and general lighting

The biggest difference between LED lighting and general lighting is that LED lighting is a completely electronic products, while traditional lighting is only one electrical products. Therefore, commercial led lighting can be easily associated with various types of sensors, in order to achieve a variety of automatic control functions of light control, infrared control. Such as the automatic switching of the LED street lamp, it can be simple to achieve with a photosensitive sensor; community night walkway and patio lighting, human activity information can be collected by infrared sensors, automatic opening and closing lighting.

General lighting lamps contain mercury vapor, if it was broken, mercury vapor will evaporate into the atmosphere. But LED lighting basically does not use mercury, and commercial led lighting products do not contain lead, which play a protective effect on the environment; conventional lamps will generate a lot of heat, while LED lighting convert all energy into light energy, so it will not waste. And it will not have fading phenomenon for file and clothing. LED lighting does not produce noise, So it is a good choice for the use of sophisticated electronic equipment place. It is also appropriate for the library, the office and so on; traditional fluorescent lights use AC power, so it will strobe 100-120 times per second. While LED lighting is the direct conversion of AC to DC, so it will not produce flicker, in order to maintain eye; In addition, LED lighting does not produce ultraviolet light, and thus it will not like the traditional lighting, which have many mosquito coil next to the light source. Therefore, The indoor will become increasingly clean and sanitary and clean.

In the recently concluded United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, the Climate Group released an independent global technical test results, LED lights can save up to 85% of energy. The trial also found that the pilot of urban residents prefer LED lighting and believe that its social and environmental benefits. CEO MarkKenber of the Climate Group, said: “This report clearly shows that LED technology has been with the conditions of a wide range of applications in various towns around the world, we call on governments to remove policy barriers and accelerate the transition to a low carbon commercial led lighting.

This independent test of the LED lighting project for a period of two and a half years, 15 tests were carried out in 12 cities around the world in New York, London, Calcutta, Sydney and Hong Kong. The test conclusions by “light clean revolution” the rise of the LED road lighting and led street lights its significance for the city’s report was first released.

The report analyzes the status of the global lighting market, as well as the prospects for the development of LED technology. For those seeking to upgrade and for large-scale LED retrofit projects for financing policy makers and urban commercial led lighting managers, the reports provide a detailed reference.

The concept of “clean revolution” movement advocated by the Rio +20 summit as where part of the Philips report by The Climate Group join hands together to complete, which is to practice “clean revolution”-a relatively small cost savings in a relatively short time.

According to statistics, 19% of the electricity used for lighting, and 6 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions from the lighting. If you double improved efficiency of the global greenhouse, the influence is equal to reduce half of the energy and electricity and heat production of greenhouse gas emissions. The same with other energy-saving technologies, energy efficient lighting will promote global prosperity. Only in the United States, the field of lighting energy demand, which is equivalent to the generating capacity of 198 medium-sized power stations.

The Climate Groups and Philips called for the establishment and implementation of an international low-carbon commercial led lighting standards, and to ensure that the world has the opportunity to enjoy the energy-efficient outdoor lighting.
