Energy saving lighting: usher in global development opportunities

The energy-saving lighting industry, according to the advanced technology can be divided into ordinary fluorescent lamp, energy-saving lamp (compact fluorescent lamp), LED (light emitting diode Light Emitting Diode) three categories of industries. Here we mainly introduce a wide range of energy-saving lamps and high-tech LED lighting.

In the world under the incandescent ban, as a substitute for its energy-saving lighting market demand will usher in rapid growth. China's LED industry in 2007 and in 2008, the rapid growth in the year of 2009 will be faster development in the year after 2010, will usher in a new peak of development.

Incandescent lamp forced forced energy saving market

"The waste caused by the low efficiency of energy utilization in China is equivalent to the output of the 2.3 Three Gorges power stations. Ma Xin, member of the Committee on science and technology for the 2008 Olympic games. The use of energy-saving lamps, is undoubtedly an important way to achieve energy-saving emission reduction targets.

In 2009, the country will promote efficient lighting products 100 million. The purpose of this is to deal with the impact of the global financial crisis on the efficient lighting products production enterprises, to a greater extent to meet the majority of urban residents demand for efficient lighting products, energy-saving lamps to expand market share, strive for a greater effect of energy saving and emission reduction. "

At the end of December last year, the national development and Reform Commission launched "Chinese phasing out incandescent lamps and energy saving lamps promotion action plan" preparation. Prior to this, the national development and Reform Commission and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in cooperation with China's phasing out incandescent lamps, speed up the promotion of energy-saving lamp project was approved by the global environment fund (GEF).

According to the concept of project file, GEF Chinese funded $14 million and $250 thousand project reserves, in order to promote the incandescent lamp production enterprise transformation, accelerate the improvement of mechanisms for the promotion of energy-saving lamps, and the formulation and implementation of Chinese phasing out incandescent lamps and energy saving lamps promotion roadmap and special planning.

China is the largest producer and consumer of lighting products, incandescent production accounted for 1/3 of the world's output, compact fluorescent lamp production accounted for 80% of world production. China's lighting electricity accounts for about 12% of the total electricity consumption, the use of energy-saving lamps instead of incandescent lamps can save electricity by 60% - 80%. If all of the existing incandescent lamps are replaced by energy-saving lamps, a year can save electricity 48 billion kwh, accounting for Three Gorges power plant in 2008 generating capacity of 60%.

From the structural point of view, the domestic incandescent lamp for general lighting and energy-saving lamps only about 3 billion, only about 400 million, the ratio of approximately 7.5:1, compared with the proportion of global application about 4:1, the domestic energy-saving lamps have not been widely applied, energy-saving lamp replace incandescent lamps with considerable space.

As early as April 2008, the Ministry of finance, development and Reform Commission through open tender to selected Zhejiang sunshine, snow Wright and other 13 efficient lighting products production enterprises, launched the first batch of 50 million national energy efficient lighting products promotion project. According to the central government approved the price of 50% of the subsidies to the residents of the user, according to the 30% subsidy bulk users. Some local governments have also developed a complete subsidy policy, such as Beijing City, based on state subsidies of 50% residents, city, district financial subsidies were 30%, 10%, launched the "one yuan of energy-saving lamps" policy; Shanxi, Guangxi Nanning city in accordance with the standards for different users 15%40% give supporting subsidies; Hebei, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Yunnan and other places of households, reserves and households, free energy saving lamp.

At the end of January 2009, in support of relevant policies, the successful enterprises co promotion of energy-saving lamps 62 million, overfulfilling promotion task, has made remarkable achievements in many aspects.

Energy saving lamps are due to the effectiveness of environmental protection has been recognized worldwide, Europe and the United States have introduced a ban on incandescent lamp schedule. By 2012, almost all developed countries will ban the incandescent lamp. Energy saving globalization will usher in a global opportunity for energy-saving lighting concept. Under the incandescent ban, the global energy-saving lamp market will grow rapidly.

LED triggered the third lighting revolution

The energy saving effect of the energy-saving lamp has been greatly improved compared with the common fluorescent lamp, and is the most mature and the most large-scale lighting product with the popularization value. But the emerging LED lighting industry is considered to be the current energy shortage and environmental pressures, the lighting industry is the only sustainable development of a new generation of green light source.

Although the LED technology is not mature, can not completely replace the traditional lighting, but it is the future direction of the development of the lighting industry. At the same brightness, LED lighting power consumption of only ordinary incandescent lamp 1/10, the service life is 80-100 times of incandescent lamp. In the global energy crisis and environmental protection requirements continue to improve the situation, long life, energy saving, safety, environmental protection, rich colors, miniaturized semiconductor LED lighting has been recognized as the world after the fire, the incandescent lamp lighting in the history of mankind third lighting revolution.

Obviously LED lighting benefits, all countries in the world in support of the government to accelerate the pace of LED to replace the traditional lighting lighting, the United States, Japan, EU, South Korea and China government has formulated the corresponding development plan. Japan as early as 10 years ago in the world to take the lead in the implementation of the twenty-first Century lighting program, and in 2006 to complete the use of white light-emitting diode lighting to replace the traditional lighting of 50%. Japan has also issued a policy clearly stipulates that enterprises or institutions to use LED lighting to replace incandescent lighting, can get 130% of the investment amount of excess depreciation, or investment rate of 7% tax relief. The United States launched the next generation lighting program, in the first phase of 2011, the annual investment of $50 million in the LED lighting industry
