The research thought, coal-fired power plant in power generation process will release a large number of harmful gas. Incandescent lamp energy consumption ratio less than 15%, and short service life, frequent changes, will cause huge waste of energy. Therefore, the incandescent lamp, reduce electricity demand, also can reduce environmental pollution.
The European Commission in Brussels in 2007 by regulations, requirements of its members in 2009 to 2012 the phasing out of household, industrial sectors and public places to use incandescent lamps and other high energy-consuming lighting equipment, at the end of 2012 before the complete elimination of incandescent lamp.
The European Commission pointed out, that in 4 years time phasing out the incandescent lamp and other high energy-consuming lighting equipment, is to allow manufacturers to gradually adjust the product structure, to meet the needs of consumers in lighting energy consumption, function, appearance, health and other aspects of demand.
The EU out incandescent lamps, and smd led post top in the rapid development also has important links. Incandescent lights out is good, but the relay product does not follow to go up, also have many problems, even the incandescent lamp can not withdraw from the market.
Although energy-saving lamps ( compact fluorescent lamp ) light effect is higher than incandescent lamps, but the reaction time is longer, and the energy-saving lamp contains mercury, the environment has great influence, waste energy-saving lamps can not be discarded, also make energy-saving lamps can not replace ordinary household lighting is big.
90watt led outdoor bulb efficiency is much higher than that of incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp is higher than, longer service life, small pollution to environment, it also makes 200w incandescent replacement the main market has become the future.
German consumer magazine invited experts on a variety of energy-saving lamps, including quartz lamp, energy-saving lights and LED lights were a long-term test, the result is the 150 watt led flood light fixture pricing scores the highest, it not only for environmental protection and energy saving, long service life, and the lamp is lit. A LED lamp life of up to 15000 hours, and the longest service life of incandescent lamp for 1000 hours.
A power consumption of 7 WATT LED lamp can reach the incandescent lamp 40 Watt brightness. From a one-time purchase price, LED lamp incandescent lamp to you several times, but in the long term, the LED lamp price advantage is very obvious. The German market LED lights up to 30 euros, while an incandescent light bulb as long as 50 euro cent to the 1 euro.
But a 60 watt incandescent lamps a year electricity for 15 euro, while the corresponding brightness LED lamp electricity needs only 3 euros, plus the LED lamp life is ordinary incandescent lamp as much as 15 times, LED lamp can save energy and cost-saving advantages obviously.
In addition to the current European Union area inside and outside, Japan, Australia and other countries also announced the same policy, which also shows broad prospects LED lamps, LED lighting in the global market power.
LED energy saving lamp, the energy consumption is low, long service life, has a bright future. According to a survey by McKinsey Co, 2011, the global LED energy-saving lamp market share of 12%, is expected in 2016 to 40%, reaching 63% in 2020, when its sales will reach 100000000000 euros. The future, lighting market will compact fluorescent lamps, halogen lamp and energy-saving lamp LED world.
