The incandescent lamp invented by the inventor Edison after thousands of trials was facing the fate of being eliminated after 130 years of use. In February of this year, the Australian Environment Minister stated that it would phase out incandescent lamps within three years; in March, the EU countries reached a consensus that they would gradually replace incandescent lamps with energy-saving fluorescent lamps within two years.
Not long ago, Japan also decided to develop a new standard for energy-saving bulbs, so that the incandescent lamps, which currently account for 30% of the lighting market share, are gradually coming behind the scenes, and the market is controlled by energy-saving fluorescent lamps to save energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
The reason why the incandescent lamp is left out is the energy consumption of its working principle. Since it is heated by the tungsten wire and then illuminates, 90% of the electric energy is converted into heat energy instead of light, causing a great waste of energy. Energy-saving fluorescent lamps can emit light of the same intensity as incandescent lamps with only 20% of electric energy. Since they are used longer than incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps are far more valuable than incandescent lamps for consumers and society as a whole.
Relevant statistics show that if a 10 watt energy-saving lamp is used to replace a 60-watt incandescent lamp with a similar brightness, and the national promotion of 1.2 billion and each energy-saving lamp work for 4 hours a day, it can save a total power generation of the Three Gorges Dam every year. The generating capacity of the unit throughout the year. Another fact is that the 249-seat Chinese lanterns in Tiananmen Square and Chang'an Street were energy-saving retrofits in September last year. After using energy-saving lamps, the electricity consumption was reduced to 19.13%, saving 1.31 million kWh per year. , saving electricity and maintenance costs of 1.05 million yuan.
Although China has reached a consensus on the energy consumption of incandescent lamps, the timetable for eliminating incandescent lamps has not yet been listed, and the restrictions on incandescent lamps and the incentives for energy-saving lamps are even more difficult to talk about. However, its own energy-saving products have not been used by themselves - as the world's largest producer of energy-saving lamps, 80% of China's energy-saving lamps are used for export.
The primary reason for the "cracking" of energy-saving lamps in China is the price factor. Due to the relatively complicated production technology and technology, the price of energy-saving lamps is even more than ten times that of incandescent lamps. This "power saving does not save money" cycle It is inevitable to curb the enthusiasm of consumers in the market terminal, thus making the promotion of energy-saving lamps fall into shackles.
In the United States, consumers can get a $3 subsidy from the US Department of Energy for every energy-saving lamp they buy. In Japan, France, the Netherlands and other countries in the promotion of energy-saving lamps, some allow banks to provide special concessional loans, some discounted sales or even free energy-saving lamps, and some direct investment by the government for lighting renovation - the intervention of government forces to make up for The market for energy-saving lamps has failed.
In contrast, China lacks a national fiscal tax incentive to encourage the production and consumption of energy-saving lamps. To solve this problem, the state should introduce corresponding laws and regulations as soon as possible to limit or stop the production of incandescent lamps, or impose heavy taxes on such enterprises, use financial means to influence the market price of energy-saving lamps, and encourage the production and consumption of energy-saving lamps.
In addition, the low barriers to entry for energy-saving lamps companies are also a major factor that constrains the development of the industry. Some enterprises use mass production of garbage lamps (halogen powder tubes) in order to make profits, and these are flooded with the market. Inferior lamps have already had a huge impact on those truly high-quality energy-saving lamps, making the entire industry in a chaotic state. To solve this problem, it is necessary to have strong supervision by the government.
Of course, energy-saving lamps companies are not doing nothing. Under the background that energy conservation has become a worldwide issue, the promotion of energy-saving lamps is bound to be the trend of the times. The European Union, Australia and Japan have successively restricted incandescent lamps. Under this circumstance, the visionary energy-saving lamp enterprises should be eager to ensure the quality of products, while at the same time reducing the cost through technological and technological innovation, and preparing for the era of energy conservation, rather than waiting for favorable policies. And if we can promote the development of laws, regulations and policies that are conducive to the development of energy-saving lamps through event planning, we can not only build our own brand, but also practice our social responsibility.
