Development and Reform Commission Says that LED Lighting Encourage Policy is Being Created

Today, the National Development and Reform Commission announced the phase-out plan for incandescent lamps. It is clear that China will ban the import and sale of incandescent lamps with general lighting of 100 watts or more from October 1, next year. In addition, the National Development and Reform Commission revealed that it is working with the Ministry of Finance to formulate policies to encourage the promotion of LED lights. It is expected that the industry will quadruple its output value in five years.

The suspension of the sale of incandescent bulbs of 100 watts in October next year The roadmap announced this time is basically the same as the related consultation draft issued by the National Development and Reform Commission. The five phases of the elimination of incandescent lamps in China have been determined.

According to the National Development and Reform Commission, the transition period from now to September 30 of next year will be the first phase of general lighting incandescent lamps with 100 watts or more entering the phase-out period on October 1, 2012. After two years, incandescent lamps with general lighting of 60 watts or above will be banned from import. And sales, from then on, from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016, the mid-term evaluation period. On October 1, 2016, general-purpose incandescent lamps of 15 watts and above were discontinued.

The elimination of incandescent lamps will be conducive to energy-saving and emission reduction. According to calculations, China's lighting electricity consumption accounts for about 12% of the total electricity consumption in the society. According to the Development and Reform Commission's incandescent lamp elimination roadmap, high-efficiency lighting products are used in place of incandescent lamps. Save electricity 48 billion kwh, the annual reduction of carbon dioxide emissions capacity of 48 million tons.

China is a big country in the production and consumption of lighting products. The output of energy-saving lamps and incandescent lamps ranks first in the world. Prior to the release of the incandescent lamp roadmap, China began implementing China's green lighting project as early as 1996. The production of energy-saving lamps has been increasing year by year. The output of energy-saving lamps and incandescent lamps has increased from 1:34 in 1996 to 1:1 in 2010: 1. The market share of energy-saving lamps has increased from 20% in 1996 to 85% in 2010.

According to the National Development and Reform Commission, according to the phase-out plan, it is expected that the output value of the lighting appliance industry will increase by about 8 billion yuan, and the number of new jobs will increase by 15,000.

LED lights companies ushered in a major favor this time to determine the elimination of incandescent lamps, for fluorescent lamps, LED lamp manufacturers, will be a major positive. After the news that the Development and Reform Commission announced the road map, the LED lighting sector continued to rise and it ranked fourth with an increase of 1.94% yesterday.

At the press conference, Xie, Deputy Director of the Division of Circumvention and Development of Development and Reform Commission of the National Development and Reform Commission made it clear that the government will strongly encourage the production and promotion of LED lights.

Compared to incandescent and fluorescent lamps, LED lamps are currently not dominant in price. Xie Ji said, "The LED lamp is a semiconductor light-emitting principle that can avoid the fluorescent light flashing problem, but as a new generation of light sources, the price is still relatively high, it takes a certain time to be accepted by the market. In order to pay attention to this vision problem, on the one hand we It will speed up the improvement of the quality of fluorescent lamps, and on the other hand, it will also vigorously promote the promotion of LED lamps."

Xie said that LED lamps are less polluting and have a longer life than fluorescent lamps. The NDRC will give new support to such new light sources. “We are now studying and formulating policies to encourage LED lights with the Ministry of Finance and hope to be able to publish them soon.” Xie also revealed that it is currently drafting a “12th Five-Year” development plan for LED lamps, and the industry is expected to quadruple its output value in five years. .

Xie Ji stated that the seven strategic emerging industries proposed by the country ranked first in the energy conservation and environmental protection industry. "In the energy-saving and environmental protection industry, semiconductor lighting technology, that is, LED lamps occupy an important part."
