Difficult to popularize LED lighting home market new and not prosperous

Starting this year, the U.S. market's best-selling 40 Watt and the 60 watt incandescent stop selling. In Asia, South Korea, Thailand, Philippines have also taken measures to promote the use of energy-saving bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs. From October 1st this year, China will also prohibit the import and sale of 60 watts and more than ordinary incandescent lamps. With the global LED light source to replace the tide after another, LED lighting market bright up. It is in favor of good policy and good market prospects, in recent years, many domestic lighting companies have set foot in the field of LED lighting.

Behind the prosperity of the industry, the quality of LED lighting products are mixed. Reporters visited the lighting market, the market is currently a 3 Watt LED bulb has a minimum of $2, 3 yuan, a high of $50 to $60. The same product with different parameters of the same brand price will have a big difference. Many consumers confused: This is to buy or not to buy? And how to choose? Although the LED lamp has many advantages, such as energy saving and environmental protection, but for now, it is still a long time to go into the family.

LED long term advantages of light

Incandescent lamps and halogen lamps for general lighting, although the price is cheap, but low light efficiency, short life, maintenance workload. LED what are the advantages of household energy-saving lamps? The same amount of power consumption, LED lamps are 10 times the total amount of incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp is 1.5 times. With the continuous improvement of technology, LED luminous efficiency has a lot of room for growth. LED lamp life is 10 times the fluorescent lamp, incandescent lamp of 100 times, and almost no maintenance. Experts say.

Reporters learned that, to buy a LED lamp, which is equivalent to the purchase of 16 incandescent lamps, the purchase of an energy-saving lamp, which is equivalent to the cost of the price of 9 incandescent lamps. From the price point of view, it is not as good as energy-saving lamps and incandescent lamps LED. However, the calculation of power consumption and lamp life and other factors, to LED lamp lighting life of 15000 hours, equivalent to a total of 15 incandescent lamps or the sum of the 3 energy-saving lamps. In terms of power consumption, incandescent need to consume 600 kwh of electricity, energy saving lamp is 115.5 degrees, while the LED lamp is only about 69 degrees.

In addition to saving energy for a long time, the biggest advantage of LED household energy-saving lamps is environmental protection. The ordinary energy-saving lamps made of glass, a bulb containing about 3 to 5 milligrams of mercury, once broken will be about 1000 tons of water pollution, 300 cubic meters of air, and LED light for all solid body, impact resistance is not easy broken, easy recovery, and does not produce light pollution and heat radiation, no ultraviolet radiation.

In addition, the LED is completely encapsulated in epoxy resin, which is stronger than light bulbs and fluorescent tubes. There is no loose part of the lamp body, these features make the LED bulb is not easy to damage. And the LED lamp does not exist stroboscopic effect, eliminating the traditional light source stroboscopic vision loss, visual fatigue and other hazards.

Universal home long way to go

Although the advantages of LED lamp is obvious, but it is not fully into the civil and domestic market. Renovation of the new house is being carried out Zhang Jing told reporters that the home of 12 large and small energy-saving lamps, with more than half of the ordinary energy-saving bulbs, a total cost of about $130. I do not know that there are LED home energy-saving lamps, has been thought that only large screen will use LED lights. "Seen in IKEA Home Furnishing store Baoshan reporters the day before, a 7 WATT energy-saving fluorescent lamp is priced at 5.9 yuan, many consumers have won several passing.

However, the market is not high visibility is not the only reason to hinder the LED lamp into the civilian market. It is understood that the price of LED domestic energy-saving lamps 3 times higher than ordinary energy-saving lamps, up to 50 thousand hours of life can not be guaranteed, many consumers are more inclined to ordinary energy-saving lamps.

Insiders pointed out that, LED lighting into the ordinary families should represent the general trend, but it will take some time. Why is the price of LED lamps and lanterns high? LED lighting company as Shanghai's first listed on the new board, Shanghai CDH Polytron Technologies Inc chairman Li Jiansheng believes that the core of the patent loss is mainly caused by the high cost of LED lamp. According to relevant information, although the number of domestic patent applications LED substantial growth, or even more than the United States ranked second in the world, but the lack of core patents have become a bottleneck restricting the development of semiconductor lighting industry.

According to reports, if a LED bulb wants to use normally for a long time, the cost of a 1W material requires more than 9 yuan, the cost of the material is not less than 20 yuan of light bulb $3. But in order to enter the civilian market, many enterprises began to play the price war, many large companies are forced to lower the price, the quality of the sacrifice in order to better than competitors in terms of price, LED lighting products to win the trust. Moreover, it is difficult for the average user to identify the quality of the product, the need for professional equipment for testing, testing found that some low-end products have glare, glare.

This reporter has learned that the market price of the brand LED household energy-saving lamps in general only about 60 yuan, there are a number of different prices of products, so many consumers confused and disoriented. Insiders said that the current price of LED components is still relatively high, which has an impact on the popularity of LED in the entire lighting market and acceptance.

This year the industry will accelerate the shuffle

The industry is expected, LED lighting market from early to follow, blind expansion, and now the company began to appear self-discipline, bow research and development, LED industry will usher in a major reshuffle.

"A few years ago we rush to engage in LED, especially some of the non professional expectations of the LED is too high, resulting in everyone
