Everywhere get together for LED street lamps have been questioned

In drawing LED industry, a lot of people seem to have seen a bright future -- "is expected in 2015, the LED share in Chinese lighting market will reach 20%, driven by the industry scale reached 500 billion yuan, China will enter the global LED lighting market top three".

The output value of 500 billion yuan is the meat and potatoes?

In May 2009, the Ministry of science and technology through the application of LED in municipal lighting demonstration project as the carrier, select 10 cities, each city to promote the application of LED function lighting more than 10 thousand, this plan is known as the "city of ten". Since then, the city plans to join the growing number of people, but to this day, the promotion of LED street lamps have heard a lot of questions.

42 city to participate in the "ten cities""

2010, in Guangzhou, the Asian Games in, whether it is the opening ceremony or the closing ceremony, "light feast" technology surprised four.

Obviously, the Guangzhou Asian Games will be pushed to the peak LED. For a time, "green", "energy saving", "hi tech" and other words of praise, almost become synonymous with LED, everywhere shine LED light.

From the beginning of last year, the domestic LED market suddenly optimistic, mergers and acquisitions at home and abroad to accelerate the integration of upstream and downstream enterprises, state-owned capital, private capital has also entered. "Held in the days before the Guangzhou international lighting exhibition press conference, people who quietly said:" the traditional lighting companies is seen by this piece of treasure is not fully developed, a time of various types of LED lighting products flooding the market. "

This is the second in 2009 after the Ministry of science and Technology issued ten city million after another round of LED investment boom. 2 years ago, according to the plan, "ten city lights" semiconductor lighting engineering objectives are: 2011 in the pilot city for municipal engineering application of 6 million LED lighting products, directly stimulating domestic demand 15 billion yuan; by 2015, 30% of the LED into the general lighting market. In fact, the country is now more than ten cities, according to data by the end of 2010, there are already included in Guangzhou, including the city of the plan included in the plan.

Get together for street lamp unscientific"

"If you ask me the same question, I still hold the same opinion -- the promotion of LED lights must be careful not to open your mind!" LED lights pour cold water, from the Southern Power Grid's National People's Congress after the objection in Xin Pu, NPC and CPPCC, he again reiterated to reporters "can not act with undue haste".

At present, the domestic cities to promote the formation of LED street lights a trend. We all thought it was a new energy saving technology, Xin waterfall analysis pointed out that under the same intensity of illumination, LED street lamps are not more energy efficient than high-pressure sodium lamp. Coupled with the current specifications of various manufacturers LED lamp is very different, once the replacement will be very troublesome. Because it is not as high as the high-pressure sodium lamp has been completely standardized, the original bulb is broken, it is easy to buy replacement products. "

Sim waterfall bluntly: in fact, as far as I know, these are some foreign with the patented LED technology companies in the lobby, they only mastered the core technology of LED, if we have a large area of domestic promotion, they are most profitable. "

Xin waterfall is not the first person to stop LED street lights. China Lighting Appliance Association chairman Chen Yansheng at the Guangzhou international lighting exhibition press conference, remind "overheating": "LED is widely used, a rear projection TV display, landscape lamp with the exterior walls of the building, as well as in automotive lighting brake lights etc.. But for street lighting this piece, we need scientific understanding. "

High prices because the standard is not unified

Xin waterfall, Chen Yansheng worry is not without reason.

All along, the main reason for the difficulty of LED marketing is LED lighting products prices are too high.

Kunming public opposition to the installation of LED street lamp. In September last year, the city proved that the problem of price -- in Kunming with data, street lamps installed cost 15 thousand yuan / month, including the lighting equipment worth about 2000 yuan, and cable installation, all expenses, artificial. And a LED street lamp, single lighting equipment will require 5000 - 7000 yuan, all installed down about $1.8 - $20 thousand.

Kunming case, just say the high cost of installing LED street lamps. However, there are a large bill to be calculated, high cost and expensive maintenance LED street lighting is the industry recognized fact -- in addition to LED street lamp, and a lamp post and a chip, the price should be 2000 yuan. The most troublesome is the maintenance, because there is no uniform standard LED lamp. Manufacturers self production, self standards. "An industry source said," some of the LED lamp is broken, looking for manufacturers. However, manufacturers do not necessarily produce this type of street lamp, and had to replace the lamppost. If the heat is not good, it 'all'. "

Rush to develop more worries

"When people rush to develop LED, they are staring at the 'incandescent elimination' program. "Chen Yansheng analysis pointed out that legislative proposals before the end of 2012, phasing out the incandescent lamp of the European Commission in March 2007, China also plans in 2013 before all the incandescent lamp," but the incandescent lamp does not mean to replace with LED".

Swarm development, not only attracted to the production of lighting products do not have any experience of the enterprise, but also to attract the rapid transformation of traditional lighting companies. The threshold of the industry is very low, there are currently more than 3000 LED lighting production enterprises, but of which focus on the integration of downstream applications in the 70%.
