Industry calls for the introduction of fluorescent powder guide price

For rare earth prices caused by the fluorescent powder prices have significantly increased the energy-saving lamp industry chaos, and the fluorescent powder market will remain stable has directly affected the smooth development of energy-saving lamp industry. At the end of last week, the domestic more than and 60 energy-saving lamp manufacturers and some fluorescent powder suppliers in China Lighting Electrical Association convened an internal meeting to discuss the issue of the industry. Many companies at the meeting called on the country to go too far too far out of the introduction of the guidance of the price of phosphor, thus orderly specification and development of energy-saving lamp industry. At the same time, there are many companies expressed the hope that the situation with the price of fluorescent powder to further enhance the threshold of energy-saving lamp industry to achieve market purification.

"Now the price of phosphor is a bit too far off," said one of the most powerful manufacturers of energy-saving lamps. "The original phosphor is up once every three years, but now it has become a rose three times a year, the beginning of 300 yuan a kilogram, up to now become 800 yuan!" it is understood that after the fluorescent powder cost accounted for about 1/3 of energy-saving lamps in the cost of raw materials, but now even reached 70%. Let enterprises miserable. In this regard, many companies called on the government to protect the energy-saving lamp industry from the point of view, the right to intervene in the price of phosphor, or the introduction of guidance prices.

In calling for regulation phosphor prices at the same time, many companies also called for should take the opportunity to significantly enhance the energy-saving lamps of the national standard, not only plays the role of regulating the market and enhance the industry threshold, can improve the efficiency of the use of fluorescent powder, strengthen the protection of resources. It is understood that the current national energy saving lamp life of the bottom line for 6000 hours, but this standard has actually appeared to be low, the current domestic many advantages of enterprise products have reached between 12000 to 15000 hours. According to the current domestic energy-saving lamp industry's current technical strength, to reach 30000 hours is not impossible. Industry veteran expert An Lanpo told reporters that the long and short life of energy-saving lamps, a large factor depends on whether the lamp and ballast is matched, and the number of phosphors used is not associated with. Therefore, to improve the service life of energy-saving lamps, in fact, is an important way to improve the utilization rate of phosphors. After all, the country's rare earth resources protection strategy is not relaxed, so more efficient use of phosphor will be the development direction of energy-saving lamp industry. "

Although this weekend meeting is a closed door meeting lighting within the industry, but the reporter learned that, in addition to representatives from more than and 60 domestic enterprises, the Ministry and the national development and Reform Commission officials of relevant departments also attended. It is therefore, the industry is generally looking forward to meeting some of the issues raised by the government departments.
