The global incandescent lamp production ban LED will replace the creation of a huge market demand

The government of Malaysia has issued a directive to ban or phase out all incandescent and conventional lighting in buildings and real estate projects next year. The Malaysia government issued a directive to eliminate incandescent light bulbs to comply with the global trend of incandescent lighting. In order to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, in response to global warming, countries set off a wave of inefficient incandescent light.

Recently, Malaysia enterprise composed of 10 high potential of LED/SSL's LED business and the three industry signed a memorandum of understanding to promote the use of LED/SSL lighting. This initiative is consistent with the Malaysia government to promote the use of LED/SSL lighting as a low-cost, energy-efficient lighting program. The government of Malaysia has issued a directive to ban or phase out all incandescent and conventional lighting in buildings and real estate projects next year. The Malaysia government issued a directive to eliminate incandescent light bulbs to comply with the global trend of incandescent lighting. In order to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, in response to global warming, countries set off a wave of inefficient incandescent light.

The European Union in 2007 launched a plan to use energy-saving lamps, proposed more stringent requirements on the energy efficiency office and street lighting, incandescent lamp or other household lights, before 2009 in individual families in phasing out the incandescent lamp. Its members have adopted relevant actions, such as the UK announced the phasing out of incandescent lamps in 2011; the Irish government also set a schedule of incandescent lamp; Belgium, Portugal, Switzerland and France made a similar announcement.

Prohibited incandescent lamp production

The United States regulations, from December 2007 onwards, will gradually stop the use of incandescent bulbs. The United States federal standard will be divided into two stages, the first stage is from 2012 to 2014, banned 100 watt lamps, covers all commonly used lamps, about up to 25% to 30% to save electricity; after 2020, the U.S. Department of energy will take more forceful measures. In April 2007, Canada announced that it would phase out inefficient incandescent bulbs by 2012.

In Asia, Japan announced in September 2007 21, with local retailers, such as convenience stores, supermarkets and electrical stores to promote the use of fluorescent lamps, calling on citizens to switch from incandescent to energy-efficient fluorescent tube. Thailand, Philippines, has begun to take measures to promote the use of energy-saving lamps instead of incandescent bulbs. Cuba was the first country in the world to phase out incandescent light bulbs, replacing incandescent bulbs with fluorescent lamps in the country between 2006 and 2007. Australia is also in the elimination of incandescent action in front of a country, as early as February 2007 announced the relevant regulations, and in 2010 before the comprehensive ban incandescent. Egypt, Argentina, Indonesia, South Africa and Vietnam are considering similar incandescent lamp; Garner has proposed banned the import of incandescent lamp and other high energy consumption lamps Brazil draft; and Mexico have taken to promote the use of energy-efficient light bulbs instead of incandescent lamp measures.

In November 2011, China issued the "China phasing out incandescent roadmap" pointed out: November 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012 for the transition period; in October 1, 2012 to ban the import and sale of 100 watts and above ordinary incandescent lighting; in October 1, 2014 to ban the import and sale of 60 watts and above ordinary incandescent lighting; from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016 for the October 1, 2016 mid-term evaluation period; ban the import and sale of 15 watts and above ordinary incandescent lighting; or as the mid-term evaluation results are adjusted. In the prohibition of incandescent lamps, while countries in the policy to promote a new energy efficient energy-saving lamps - semiconductor lighting (LED) lighting. Malaysia 10 high potential LED/SSL companies to promote the use of LED/SSL lighting is to comply with government policies to promote LED lighting requirements.

Currently, LED is becoming a new hot spot in the field of lighting. It belongs to the cold light source, so the LED energy saving lamp is 80% less energy than incandescent lamp, which is less than that of the fluorescent energy-saving lamp. In addition to the obvious advantages of saving electricity, LED energy-saving lamps also have a directional light source, no flicker, pure color, small heat generation, impact resistance and high reliability. According to reports, the average life of the LED lamp for lighting in twenty thousand to thirty thousand hours, and it does not contain mercury and other harmful substances, so Europe and the United States will be one of the main direction of the future development of LED lights. Since 2008, the South Korean government in four public places with LED lamps instead of incandescent lamps, is expected to save up to 55% of electricity. According to the plan, South Korea in 2012 will be all the public facilities of all incandescent lamp replacement for LED. The end of the incandescent world has begun, LED lighting is lighting up the world.

At present, the global incandescent lamp production ban triggered by the replacement of lighting will create a huge market demand for energy-saving lamps and LED. At the same time, it will also lead to the rapid growth of the domestic LED lighting industry. According to the national semiconductor lighting engineering research and development and Industry Alliance (CSA) statistics show that China's entire industry to achieve sustained growth in 2012, the annual output value of 192 billion yuan, an increase of more than in 2011 of 23%. From the first half of 2013, the overall output value of LED grew by 25%, LED device production also grew by 46.7%, the rapid growth of lighting applications, in 2012 the output value of $42 billion. LED lighting demand is rapidly improving, to bring huge opportunities related to the demand for rare metal materials. LED is the core material of gallium (Ga) and arsenic (AS), phosphorus (P), indium compounds made of semiconductor chip light-emitting materials.

At present, the wide band gap semiconductor materials based on gallium nitride (GaN) and gallium indium nitride (InGaN) is one of the most commercially valuable LED light material. The rapid development of global LED lighting, will drive the rapid growth of gallium and indium demand, will drive more and more companies and individuals concerned about the rare metals such as indium and gallium. Rare metals indium and gallium in the Pan Asian Non-ferrous Metals Exchange listed companies and individuals to get the opportunity to participate in these two rare metals. After the listing of indium and gallium, trading volume and the rapid increase in the volume, so that the Pan Asian non-ferrous metals exchange has become the world's largest rare metal indium and gallium trading market.
