How to eliminate incandescent lamps lighting new market

The day before, the European Commission passed a law in Brussels from 2009 to 2012, the provisions for phasing out incandescent lamps for household, industrial departments and public places from the market and other high energy consuming lighting equipment, and halogen lamps and compact fluorescent lamps, LED lighting and other lighting equipment, energy consumption, appearance, function health and other requirements. The European Commission pointed out that the reason why the use of 4 years to phase out incandescent lighting and other high energy consuming equipment, in order to allow manufacturers to gradually adjust their production structure to meet the requirements of consumers. According to the analysis, the EU will be energy-saving lamps, halogen bulbs and LED lamps instead of incandescent bulbs to become the main lighting of European residents.

China is the production and consumption of lighting products, in 2007, incandescent production reached 4 billion 440 million, accounting for 1/3 of the world's output, exports of only 2 billion 980 million. According to statistics, the Jiaxing region in the first quarter of 2009, the 686 batch of incandescent lamp exports, the value of $8 million 740 thousand, of which the EU accounted for about of its market share of 1/3. For the EU's new regulations, AQSIQ reminded incandescent lamp manufacturing enterprises to actively respond to guard against export risks.

Improve the efficiency of Europe and the United States out of incandescent lamps

The European Commission believes that the new regulations will help to improve the family, industry and public places lighting equipment efficiency, with the gradual implementation of laws and regulations, the EU is expected to achieve annual saving 80 billion degree target before 2020. This is equivalent to the EU's 23 million households a year of electricity consumption, but also can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 32 million tons per year.

In March 2007, the European Commission proposed legislation to phase out incandescent light bulbs by the end of 2012, with a view to improving energy efficiency and implementing the EU's medium-term emission reduction targets. European Union leaders pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% by 1990 on the basis of the European Union in 2020.

Energy saving is an important performance index of lamps and lanterns. It is reported that incandescent lamps are generally only about 5% of the electricity consumption for lighting, and the rest of the electricity can be converted into heat energy consumption. In contrast, compact fluorescent lamps and efficient halogen lamp energy efficiency can be as high as 25% to 50%, carbon dioxide emissions are much lower than the traditional incandescent lamp.

AQSIQ official said, the EU lighting equipment ecological design regulations show that energy efficiency and environmental protection requirements are becoming increasingly limited exports of lamps.

In fact, disable the incandescent lamp on at the forefront of the Australia, February 2007, the Australian government announced in 2010 to be a nationwide implementation of energy-saving lamps to replace incandescent lamps, prohibiting the use of incandescent bulbs residents. This makes Australia the first country in the world to plan to ban the use of traditional incandescent light bulbs. Earlier this year, the Australian government announced that it will stop the import of incandescent lamps from February 1, 2009.

North America also joined the ban on incandescent lamps. The California state legislature in February 2007 passed a "before 2012 to prohibit the use of incandescent light instead of electricity saving energy-saving lamps" of the new bill, which became the first legislation to prohibit the use of incandescent. Ontario, Canada has also said that it is considering the practice of the Australian government to ban the use of large power consumption in Ontario Province, the traditional incandescent lamp.

Chen Yansheng, chairman of China Lighting Association, said that China will take this step sooner or later, it is expected that China will need 5 to 10 years to completely eliminate incandescent. At the end of last year, the national development and Reform Commission launched the "China phasing out incandescent lamps, speed up the promotion of energy-saving lamps action plan" preparation.

Chinese enterprises to find a way out of the situation

However, the reporter found in the survey, a lot of incandescent production enterprises have been prepared for the introduction of the new EU regulations. Developing new markets and adjusting product structure are becoming the main measures for enterprises to deal with the new EU regulations.

The general manager of Jiangsu County in Siyang Province Shanghai Jiading Lighting Appliance Co., Ltd. Chen Jinming told reporters, the company exports 10 million year incandescent lamp, both developed countries in Europe, North America and other customers, but also from developing countries in Africa and South America customers. He said, too much influence on the introduction of the new EU regulations, the incandescent lamp will not export, compared to energy-saving lamps, incandescent lamp price advantage, in some developing countries there is a large market space, is expected in 3 to 5 years the company's export performance should be guaranteed.

Haining Zhejiang dream Lighting Co., Ltd. is a company specializing in the production of incandescent lamps, products are mainly exported to the Middle East countries, a small amount of exports to Europe and the United States market. Lu Chenjia, head of the company's export department, said the gradual exit of incandescent light is an international trend, but there is a certain market space in the short term. On the one hand, the company on the one hand, the export market, on the other hand is also looking for opportunities to turn to the field of energy-saving lamps, but suffer from insufficient funds on the project.

At the same time, Europe and the United States set off the international trend of the elimination of incandescent lamps make energy-saving lamp manufacturers see a huge business opportunities. It is estimated that the effect of the global lighting product updates will gradually fermentation in 2010 to 2012, LED lighting in the field of compound growth rate of up to 33% in 2012, the market size will reach $1 billion 300 million. Reporters learned that the domestic energy-saving lamp industry leading enterprises in Guangdong province FSL Limited recently in the field of massive expansion of energy-saving lamps, invested about 90000000 yuan to introduce T8 and T5 automatic production line 4, plus 35 existing fluorescent lamp automatic production line, in order to worldwide with OSRAM, PHILPS competition.
