LED: when to enter the people's home

Many people may not know, night Shanghai landscape lighting is quietly changing face. From the Oriental Pearl, to the Wujiaochang egg, more than and 20 distinctive features of the landscape lighting have switched to a new type of energy-saving lamps called LED. But this energy-saving light source into the homes of ordinary people, but difficult. In the just concluded first Shanghai LED landscape lighting rating, the Oriental Pearl topped the list. As one of Shanghai's iconic landscape, the Oriental Pearl turned into a multicolored light at night, and can vary from seasons four different color theme, so many people greatly. And it is currently used is called the future light source LED. LED is the abbreviation of semiconductor lighting. It is a solid state light source which is made of semiconductor chips, and the efficiency of converting electric energy into light energy is as high as 80%. (Shanghai semiconductor lighting Engineering Research Center Engineer Yang Jiexiang: so LED lamps than traditional light bulbs to save about 75% of electricity is the development trend of future lighting field is an effective way to alleviate the shortage of energy, to achieve emission reduction) the new landmark of Wujiaochang egg, also by LED. Cover the eggs keel structure 5 cm wide strip of LED lights, daytime invisible at night, shine, in addition, Donghai Bridge, Nanjing Road, Century Square and other more than and 20 landscape have been decorated with a new LED, is expected to 2010, LED will become the main angle of Shanghai city landscape lighting. (Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission, high-tech industry department deputy director Guo Yansheng: the traditional lighting, if 1/3 is replaced by LED, Shanghai a year of electricity savings equivalent to a small city a year of electricity demand. From the national point of view, it is equivalent to save a total of Three Gorges Hydropower Station Unfortunately, a year can save one of the Three Gorges hydropower station energy saving master LED currently only in the promotion of the smooth progress of landscape lights, white light has suffered a lack of embarrassment. In the New International Expo Center at the international LED lighting exhibition, many business executives told reporters that the use of ordinary enterprises and residential LED white light, it is very difficult to promote. (exhibitors: (3 watt bulbs) about 180 dollars to sell 170, so the family can not accept higher prices several times (10) exhibitors: our company annual sales of tens of thousands of branches so that the amount is not large) expert analysis, innovative products to pay for scientific and technological innovation on the cost of the inevitable, is a direct result of the price of new products in the early high. (Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission, high-tech industry department deputy director Guo Yansheng: there is a misunderstanding, we think the concept of energy saving is to save money, so he began to call to spend money is not happy, in fact, from a long-term perspective, such products will bring benefits to the energy and the double return) to the Oriental Pearl Tower as an example, the original lighting transformation when the cost of nearly 4 million yuan, in the face of the high cost, they also really hesitated. But it turned out that the decision was correct. (Tang Ganyao Oriental Pearl engineering department management department: but weak operation until now we have calculated every month nearly saving more than 50 thousand kwh of electricity, so doing a year savings of about 700000 kwh, the cost savings are now about 500000), light is basic on the savings in electricity back to the original investment cost of conversion, lighting life plus lED is 10 thousand hours, 5 times the ordinary light bulb, save cost is considerable. Tasted the sweetness, the Oriental Pearl is planning to replace all the lights inside the enterprise into a LED lamp. (Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission, high-tech industry department deputy director Guo Yansheng: in the promotion process of high-tech products, we need to change some of the public enterprises and the concept of cost price, at the same time, as the government also encourages more scientific research units to continuously develop new products, reduce the cost of it) it is understood that the semiconductor lighting Shanghai has been included in the 11th Five-Year science and technology planning focus on the development of strategic products, and initially formed from R & D to chip manufacturing to packaging and production of a complete industrial chain. Researchers are to further improve the luminous efficiency of LED lamps, reduce its production costs, so that LED can fly faster and more smoothly into the homes of ordinary people. As with the LED lamp, a lot of energy-saving products or energy-saving technology in the early days of its promotion, have been the market cold, because the price is high. Promote the use of energy-saving products, of course, the need to change the concept of the public, the eyes put more long-term. But what is needed is the promotion and support of the government. For example, in the early stages of the introduction of energy-saving products, the government can give appropriate subsidies to make it more convenient for consumers to accept the price, as soon as possible to practical use. Well, thanks for watching today's news.
