Eye protection lamps will welcome the mandatory new national standard in March
In the school season again, the eye protection lamp has once again become a key product for parents to study and purchase. According to the consumption data of Suning.com in the opening season (February 7-13), compared with the Spring Festival period, the sales volume of eye protection desk lamps increased by 134%.
The survey shows that the lighting in classrooms for study and life does not meet the requirements, which is the main reason for the high incidence of myopia. In recent years, with the public's attention to lighting conditions, many provinces and cities have actively carried out lighting renovation work. Schools have removed ordinary fluorescent lamps and installed eye-protecting classroom lamps to create a high-quality lighting environment for classrooms.
When the students return home, a lamp that can "protect the eyes" has become the focus of parents' attention. Especially with the release of the "double reduction" policy, students spend more time studying at home. Therefore, various lighting products such as eye-protection lamps, eye-soothing lamps, and study lamps have been launched one after another, which have become the "close companions" of many students' parents.
A few days ago, Suning consumption data for the school season (February 7-13) showed that compared with the Spring Festival period, the sales of eye protection desk lamps increased by 134%. On February 20, the reporter entered "eye protection desk lamp" on the Suning.com platform and found that in addition to companies focusing on lighting products, such as Op Lighting, NVC Lighting, etc., Xiaomi, Philips and other brands have also launched related products. From tens of dollars to hundreds or thousands of dollars. It is worth noting that in the product review area of ??different price points, the reporter found that consumers pay more attention to the actual effect of eye protection lamps, but are not sensitive to the shape and price of eye protection lamps, with generous shape, simple functions, soft and stable lighting. Products are more popular with consumers.
Not the brighter the better
Pay attention to publicity misunderstandings when buying eye protection lamps
In fact, there are currently two extreme views on whether eye protection lamps are useful. Some manufacturers will over-exaggerate the efficacy of eye protection lamps and publicize that as long as a certain brand of eye protection lamps are used, they can play a very good role in preventing and controlling myopia. More businesses even compare the myopia prevention and control effect of eye protection lamps with OK lenses (orthokeratology lenses) and frame glasses. On the other hand, there are also some ophthalmologists who depreciate the eye protection lamp as worthless, saying that "all the eye protection lamps on the market are IQ taxes and have no effect. It is better to have the time and energy to choose eye protection lamps for children. Take the kids outdoors."
Previously, the Guangdong Provincial Consumer Council had issued a document to remind consumers that they should correctly understand the concept when purchasing eye protection desk lamps, and "don't let publicity and selling points be functions." The first is to pay attention to the "no stroboscopic" propaganda. In fact, it is impossible to have no flicker in the absolute sense. Most of the eye-protection desk lamps increase the flicker frequency of the light source so that the eyes cannot distinguish it. In fact, the stroboscopic still exists. , and even high-frequency flashing lamps will affect health if used at close range for a long time; secondly, the purchase of table lamps is not the higher the brightness value, the better, the higher the brightness, the more obvious the glare, and the eyes are prone to discomfort.
The new standard will come into effect in March
Most of the product hygiene requirements meet the quality standards
In order to further improve children's myopia, in February last year, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the National Standardization Administration issued the mandatory national standard "Sanitation Requirements for the Prevention and Control of Myopia in School Supplies for Children and Adolescents". The color rendering index, color temperature and other items of table lamps have been stipulated in detail. From March 1, 2022, all learning lamps and lanterns need to pass this national compulsory certification before they can be listed.
Among them, the general color rendering index Ra of reading and writing desk lamps should not be less than 80, and the R9 of LED lamps should be greater than 0; the blue light hazard group should reach RG0. In addition, indicators such as fluctuation depth (flicker), luminaire lux, light uniformity, shading and glare are specified.
In January this year, two months before the implementation of the new standard, the Consumer Protection Committee of Hebei Province carried out a comparative test of reading and writing desk lamp products. The results show that the 3 indicators of retinal blue light hazard, fluctuation depth, and shading of the 15 reading and writing desk lamp samples have met the requirements of the new standard. There is no blue light radiation hazard. Among them, 13 samples of hygienic requirements fully meet the new standard. The individual indicators of the 2 samples deviate from the new standard.
In this regard, industry insiders said that the mandatory implementation of lighting eye protection standards will build a line of protection for students' eye health. Most reading and writing desk lamp manufacturers attach great importance to the national health requirements for the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents, and focus on product quality and brand reputation. They have been familiar with and implemented the new standard requirements in advance during the transition period of the new standard.
