Why the replacement of LED street lamps cited controversy? Lack of supervision from public funds

Newspaper, the people's Congress of China Southern Power Grid Xin waterfall, raised objections to the promotion of LED lights in NPC and CPPCC during the call in the same illumination intensity, LED lamp is not more 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. (Yangcheng Evening News April 8th)

"Green", "energy saving", "high-tech" and other words of praise, almost become synonymous with LED. But the main reason for the difficulty of LED marketing is LED lighting products prices and maintenance costs are too high.

That publicly opposed the installed LED street lamps in Kunming City, is a street lamp lighting equipment, the use of LED than the existing lighting equipment price is 1.5-3.5 times higher, and because there is no standard, repair prices also doubled relative. All installed down, a street lamp about 18 thousand -2 million.

A new science and technology products always have the support of the market, can continue to improve, this is a truth that everyone knows. As a result, many high-end new products are always with its high price and slightly superior performance, attracting those who pursue fashion enthusiasts. The continuous expansion of these enthusiasts also contributed to the continuous updating of new technology products and increasingly perfect, product prices are getting lower and lower, until the public into the field of consumption. Television, digital cameras, including computers have gone through this process! The original high price to buy these products are eliminated, as a pioneer of our general consumers, with their consumer behavior to open the market for new technology products, credit is not to be wiped!

However, a government must when the pursuit of fashionable new technology products fancier, it would be another matter! Because you're using taxpayer money, not your own money! These new technologies to support the money, but also must be regulated. If the central local matching funds, just as the test, of course should strive for, but never without success experience, yihongershang.

In 2009 ten after the Central City 10000 project, also did not sum up the benefits to launch a new round of LED plan, the city currently has 42 including Guangzhou, included in the plan, intended to be an 6 million municipal street, 15 billion to stimulate domestic demand, then each lighting equipment will be 2500 yuan. And media reports Kunming announced 5000 ~ 7000 yuan fee, a far cry from. And those who can use, and environmental protection of high pressure sodium energy-saving lamps, there is no need to replace. If you rush to the LED, is bound to cause great waste, we must take seriously! For such a big promotion to use, as the people's Congress of the new waterfall objection is also the responsibility of.

The government is a major measure must be as a city municipal construction relates to low carbon, energy saving and environmental protection, submitted to the CPPCC consultation between relevant sectors to effectively benefit by mutual discussion, two is a reasonable arrangement to the NPC Financial and Economic Committee to discuss the fiscal three, is submitted to the NPC Standing Committee voted through discussion! This process is completed, the views of experts have been respected, even if it is as a new energy saving, green technology products supporters, with a head to a fever can also be understood!

In fact, many of the "new technology, new concepts behind, have a huge commercial interests, like many, many certification standards like those who have mastered the core technology, and hope to open China this huge market investors, the huge benefit often advocated or have a huge risk. To prevent mistakes, or do not use administrative means, do not use public finance funds for good, to use, we must strengthen supervision, to be responsible, to withstand accountability.
