China made LED bulb in North Korea was crazy?

According to foreign media reported on July 14th, recently more and more Korean people panic buying China manufacturing LED bulb. Although the LED bulb is expensive, but compared with the traditional incandescent lamp, LED lamp has high efficiency, energy saving effect is remarkable, which for a serious lack of power of the country is undoubtedly the best choice. So, generally the Korean people are willing to choose high price but can realize the normal lighting LED lamps under low voltage lamp.

In November 2013, North Korea's internal sources said North Korea's power is very scarce, even the electricity needs of 70% users are unable to meet, forcing people to find more energy-efficient alternative energy. An unnamed Korean people said: "recently, panic buying of LED bulbs in North Korea a sharp increase in the number of businesses to inland, from North Korean border city to buy LED bulb."

In February 2014, a report from North Korea's official report, the country lighting electrical appliance factory is ramped up production of LED lighting products. More and more families began to use the LED lighting and public lighting lamps, hotels and buildings have been installed LED lamps. But the report did not talk about whether the current production schedule can fully meet the demand of new lighting products, because of this, the Korean people panic buying Chinese manufacturing LED bulb boom has not decreased.

There are sources, LED lights in North Korea's popularity soared because of North Korea's lack of power, can not provide 220V voltage required for the normal work of the general household appliances, but LED lamp can normally under the condition of low voltage lighting. In the summer peak period, the Korean average family voltage is only 170V, in winter is lower to 100V. The incandescent lamp was below the 220V voltage to provide normal lighting required, and the LED lamp is different, even if the voltage is lower than 70V, it can still be normal lighting. So, although the price of LED lights higher than incandescent lamp two times, the Korean people still willing to buy LED lamps.

According to the U.S. Department of energy report, another advantage of the LED lamp is long service life. High power LED lamp life up to 50000 hours, compared with fluorescent lamp and incandescent lamp life of only 2000 hours and 15000 hours, the outstanding advantages of LED light life.

Another source said, in the Korean market, the incandescent lamp price is about 3 yuan, while the price of LED lamp is different, mainly depends on its shape. For example, can be directly screwed into the ordinary lamp LED bulb price more than 10 yuan. Now, LED bulb is very popular in Korea, each equipped with at least one. (/LEDinside Flora)
