Chinese plan 5 years of incandescent lamp LED companies eager for a fight

National Development and Reform Commission issued a "China out of incandescent road map", from October 1, 2012 onwards, according to the size of the power gradually phased ban on the import and sale of incandescent lamps for general lighting.

Since 1996 started the implementation of China green lighting project, the government will have China lighting included in the "95" and "fifteen" in such key areas and "11th Five-Year", "12th Five-Year" key energy-saving projects, in addition to the promotion of energy-saving lamps, incandescent lamp, to more years issued a special support for LED product support policy at present is organizing the drafting of semiconductor lighting "12th Five-Year" development planning.

Development and Reform Commission plans to invest 8 billion, subsidies for civil led, is currently bidding stage. A lighting company executives revealed to the newspaper.

5 years out of incandescent lamp

Last year, China's incandescent production and domestic sales were 3 billion 850 million and only 1 billion 70 million

The NDRC announcement shows that in November 1st, the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of customs and the State Administration for Industry and commerce, the State Quality Inspection Administration jointly issued a "gradual ban on the import and sale of ordinary incandescent lighting notice" (hereinafter referred to as the "notice").

According to the "notice", China will be divided into five stages of phasing out the incandescent lamp: from 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 other words, 5 years later, China will basically achieve the elimination of incandescent lamps.

Xie Ji, deputy director of the national development and Reform Commission, said the Department of finance, after nearly two years, in consultation with the parties to the enterprise, associations, experts, etc., and ultimately determine the route. Incandescent business has long been a premonition of the need for transformation, in the drafting of this roadmap, has been discussed with the enterprise, the enterprise has long been aware of the government's move. In the process of development, on the one hand in communication with the enterprise, on the one hand is also actively support the transformation of incandescent enterprises. Xie Ji said.

According to Bai Hua, director of the United Nations Development Program in China on behalf of the introduction, lighting power consumption accounts for about 20% of the total electricity generation, by replacing more energy-efficient lighting equipment, you can save a lot of electricity.

As the world's largest producer and consumer of incandescent light bulbs, last year, China's incandescent production and domestic sales were 3 billion 850 million and only 1 billion 70 million. According to estimates, at present, China's lighting electricity accounts for about 12% of the total electricity consumption, the use of efficient lighting products to replace incandescent lamps, energy saving and emission reduction potential.

In fact, since 1996 to start the implementation of China green lighting project, China's energy-saving lamp and incandescent lamp has been greater than the yield of 1:34 by 1996 rose to 1:1 in 2010, energy-saving lamps of the global market share increased from 20% in 1996 to 85% in 2010, the industry structure optimization and upgrading of lighting equipment and product quality continuous improvement.

"Now incandescent lamps are used only in remote rural areas, energy-saving lamps have become the mainstream of urban products, and LED began to use in the transformation of urbanization, civilian is less. "Three hung Aurora A Regional Sales Manager for the newspaper said. He believes that after the guidance and Cultivation for many years, most of the incandescent lamp has been delisted or enterprise or upgrade, the light production of incandescent lamp enterprises are few, therefore the "notice" has only accelerated the complete delisting of incandescent lamp.

But in the birch seems completely delisting, incandescent lamp to achieve successful promotion of energy-saving lamps, the first is to pass laws and regulations banning the production and sale of incandescent lamp, the second is to ensure that the market sales of products are energy-saving products, finally to cultivate the public awareness of energy conservation and emission reduction.

LED companies eager for a fight

LED lighting is an important part of energy saving and environmental protection industry, the market may quadruple in five years

According to our understanding, the announcement also specifically for lighting pollution control put forward new requirements. According to Xie said that the central government will carry out 12 cleaner production enterprises to give financial subsidies. "At the source, first of all, the production of fluorescent lamp enterprises set a mercury content indicators, is currently 5 mg / only, but the central energy-saving funds to support the higher requirements of the enterprise, only 1 mg / only to give financial support. Xie Ji said.

At present, even if the energy-saving lamp is more energy than incandescent lamps, and lighting market mainstream products, but the service life is short, but the biggest problem is that energy-saving lamps containing mercury, mercury pollution is unable to crack the problem facing energy-saving lamps manufacturers.

It is worth noting that, although there is no mandatory requirement, but this is the first time for the country's energy-saving lamp mercury content requirements. "Once the mercury content of the energy-saving lamp is reduced, its luminous efficiency will be reduced, and only by increasing the phosphor or other technology to maintain the original luminous efficiency. Above lighting executives explained. He believes that with the lower energy content of mercury in the market popularity, energy-saving lamp enterprises will usher in a new round of reshuffle, and LED companies will also find new opportunities in this round of reshuffle.

In the national development and Reform Commission announced the elimination of incandescent road map news soon, de Ho Runda (002005) immediately released the LED products of the two, and said that the price of these products has been lowered to two
