Post incandescent era: are we ready?

From the first light bulb to start the human, science and technology progress, the new lighting, we have to really say goodbye to the "Edison era" time.

The day before, an inner South Street hardware shop, is to buy incandescent bulbs Uncle Joe a bit confusing to face questions from reporters, he apparently did not understand: "why not sell this lamp? Small wattage good ah, 3 yuan a, very cheap, I put on the bedside lamp. With the lights, also not dazzling. Uncle Joe did not know, it is last year, China launched a roadmap, according to the plan, 4 years later, China will no longer sell incandescent.

Farewell to the Edison era"

The European Union has decided to "turn off" incandescent lamp, but our country in the last year also launched a road map, clearly pointed out that the ultimate fate of incandescent lamp starting in October 1st this year, China started to power a phased ban the import and sale of incandescent lamps for general lighting, first retirement is 100 watts and above general lighting incandescent lamps; October 1, 2014, ban the import and sale of 60 watts and above ordinary incandescent lighting; it is expected that by 2016, the incandescent lamp will completely withdraw from the Chinese market.

Incandescent lamp is the fundamental reason for the waste is the light effect is very low, 95% of the energy can be transformed into a waste of heat, which in energy conservation and emission reduction, green environmental protection in the world today, can not be tolerated. Data show that the EU Member States, such as the full implementation of the use of energy-saving lamps, by the end of 2020 will save electricity 80 billion kwh, while in 2011 China's total wind power capacity of 80 billion kwh.

However, the incandescent lamp is not useless, its light color and light collection performance is good, is the most widely used electric light source. And incandescent lamps have an advantage in most other types of LED products do not have, which is suitable for occasions of frequent starting, such as the family living room, bathroom, kitchen and other places, and energy-saving lamps are not suitable for frequent opening. It is said that once the energy saving lamp will consume 2 hours of electricity.

The day before, the reporter visited Taiyuan several large supermarkets and some of the building materials market, most of them have incandescent lamps and lighting for sale, the supermarket can buy 60 watt incandescent lamps under incandescent lamps, and building materials market still has more to sell, but also can clearly see that energy-saving lamps are gradually become the main choice of lighting market every kind of energy-saving lamps, lamp and lamp bulb are sold, prices ranging from ten yuan to thirty or forty yuan, the brand is relatively fixed. LED lamp as an up and comer, although in the supermarket store does not occupy a major position, but as a table lamp, ceiling lamp, decorative lamp with a variety of lights, is the building materials market sales force recommended lamp products. The LED lamp is slightly more expensive than incandescent and energy-saving lamps, but the sales staff said that the use of long life, high brightness, low power consumption.

Look, no matter how the scenery, the incandescent lamp was "dethroned" fate is doomed. Today's international and China's lighting market, energy-saving lamps are widely used as a kind of lamps, worthy of the name of energy-saving products, low power consumption, long life, has been rapidly accepted by Chinese families.

In addition to energy-saving lamps, as the industry respected as the light emitting diode LED lights that deliver the goods, with higher price following the emerging energy-saving lamps after. The LED lamp has the advantages of high efficiency, good effect of environmental protection and the use of the advantages of long service life, beautiful appearance and just turn on the lights when the luminous efficiency is high, compared with the traditional incandescent lamp, energy saving lamp LED ratio as high as 90%, its life also is 25 times of incandescent lamp.

Now, the international community has LED lights as the focus of future development of the industry. Not only in terms of home lighting, LED lights in the outdoors, large public places with a more obvious development advantage. The research and investment of the LED lamp has also become a kind of contest in technology, many international well-known lighting equipment manufacturers have LED lamp as the main research object.

Are we ready?

No matter what kind of lighting equipment is used, the lamp is closely related to human society, and the light is always a metaphor for human beings to get rid of ignorance and gain new life. Even leaving the "Edison era" people somewhat sad, however, the progress of science and technology is always moving forward at an astonishing speed, and real and direct projection to people's daily life, about people's life. So if the progress of science and technology blindly forward, and the relevant departments of the various problems of human society or industry is not resolved, follow-up work is not in place, then the disadvantages brought by technology is also possible with the progress of human misery as the shadow follows the form.

For example, energy saving lamp, it is an energy saving can be caused by the huge pollution of the contradiction.

Reporter survey, we all said that if the energy-saving lamp is broken, it will be directly thrown away as garbage. But all 15 people do not know energy-saving lamp is broken after the pollution of the environment, but do not know the energy-saving lamps are broken in the interior, to the ventilation window in time more than half an hour, and the energy-saving lamp glass paper or cloth, as special waste treatment.

Pollution caused by energy saving lamps is amazing, an energy-saving lamp tube containing an average of 0.5 mg of mercury, if the infiltration into the ground, will cause pollution of 90 tons - 180 tons of water. In addition, the energy-saving lamps, as well as paint, metal and other harmful substances, will pollute the environment. Moreover, due to the low boiling point of mercury, the evaporation can be evaporated at room temperature, and the concentration of mercury in the surrounding air can be hundreds of times higher than that of the inhalation
