Gaoming will promote the use of energy-saving lighting

Washington reporter Yu Xianghua reports: from the beginning of next year, Gaoming District will continue to unload a lot of incandescent bulbs, light efficient energy-saving light source. Yesterday announced the Gaoming District green lighting project promotion work rules show that the next two years, the district will promote the use of energy-efficient lighting 150 thousand. Annual electricity savings of nearly 20 million yuan

In the region to promote the use of energy-efficient lighting light source, designed to effectively reduce the amount of lighting required for the region's growing demand for electricity, decompression". On the basis of "promotion of Gaoming District green lighting project work rules", the area will be through the government to promote public participation in the way, representative and demonstration of public buildings, including government office, public places, such as schools and hospitals, and promote the use of efficient lighting to replace incandescent lamps and low light source. The next two years, the region's energy-saving lighting equipment will reach more than 150 thousand light source.

Insiders Tan, fluorescent lamps, high pressure sodium lamps are currently on the market, such as energy-efficient lighting source, the same intensity of illumination, the required power is only about 50% of ordinary incandescent lamps. To 1 watts of incandescent light for 10 hours a day using the calculation of the use of energy-efficient lighting light source after the replacement of ordinary incandescent lamp, the annual savings of at least 30 million kilowatt hours of electricity, saving electricity costs nearly $20 million 150 thousand.

Difficult to install energy-saving lamps by the government

Such a large-scale promotion of the use of energy-efficient lighting light source how difficult it? The person in charge admitted to a family energy-saving lighting, for example, the price is usually up and down 20 yuan, less than $1 a lot of ordinary incandescent lamps, which may make many residents difficult to accept.

In fact, the main reason is that most people ignore the benefits brought by the energy-saving light source, "Mr. Tan said, in fact, replace incandescent lamps with energy-saving lamps, between 4 months to save electricity to offset the difference between the two; and the service life of energy-saving lamps than ordinary incandescent lamp much longer. Therefore, as long as the promotion, for the user to calculate this account, I believe the vast majority of people will be willing to unload the incandescent lamp, switch to energy-saving lighting source.

At the same time, said the relevant departments in Gaoming District, to promote the use of energy-saving lamps in the area of low income households, five households, families and the elderly, disabled, sick to veterans of the family, the replacement cost of energy-saving light source, will be from the District, town (street) financial commitment of 50%.
