LED lamp, fluorescent lamp and incandescent lamp bulb efficiency and price trend forecast

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (U.S.Energy Information Administration) estimates, by 2020 LED bulbs, fluorescent lamps or incandescent bulbs are almost the same price difference. At that time, due to the continuous improvement of energy standards, incandescent bulbs will be eliminated because they can not meet the energy saving effect.

Since January 1, 2014, the United States began to prohibit the production and sale of 40 watts and 60 watts incandescent bulb, but before the ban comes into effect, many American families have many inventory this type of traditional light bulb, so the next 75 WATTS and 100 watts of traditional light bulb will also become part of the ban.

Driven by the federal standard with the general lighting technology to improve the reliability of the bulb increased, life is also increasing, with the efficiency of the better and better, the general residential lighting power consumption has gradually declined. Therefore, although the initial purchase price of LED bulbs is higher, but because of the high efficiency of LED bulbs, compared with traditional bulbs can significantly save money.

Nevertheless, most American families still believe that if the LED bulb replaced 40 Watt or 60 watt incandescent lamp, the price is too high, so many families to buy daylight lamp to replace the incandescent lamp, but the U.S. energy information administration estimates, to 2020 this trend will change, when LED and the price will be very close to the incandescent light bulb.

The U.S. energy information administration believes that by 2020, the efficiency of the LED bulb will reach more than 150 lumens per watt, compared with the traditional incandescent light output of the efficiency of 60 watts per watt, 16 lumens, almost as high as more than 10 times. In addition, LED lamp life can be as long as 30 years, will change the behavior of people using the bulb.

From now until 2020, the halogen incandescent lamp can be applied to general lighting standards, it will continue to use. But by 2020, the standard continues to improve, halogen incandescent lamps will also face the fate of the efficiency can not meet, and now manufacturers must focus on the development of more efficient technology.

The future of LED bulbs in the technology is constantly updated with the cost down, perhaps in 2025, the U.S. bulb market will be completely replaced by a new generation of solid-state lighting, this trend will also blow to the global trend.
