Since October, 60-watt and above incandescent LED lamps have been banned

In 1879, American scientist Edison invented incandescent lamps to illuminate the world. However, over the years, incandescent lamps have ceased to be the mainstream of light bulbs for various reasons. In October 2012, China stopped selling 100-watt and above incandescent lamps. In January 2014, the US market also began to stop selling the best-selling 40-watt and 60-watt incandescent lamps.

Starting from October 1 this year, China will also ban the import and sale of ordinary lighting incandescent lamps of 60 watts and above. Some experts predict that LED lights will become the biggest winner in the future.

High-power incandescent lamps gradually disappear <br> <br> Recently, the reporter visited the capital of the lighting market through the discovery, once everywhere old incandescent lamp has gradually disappeared, replaced by various types of energy-saving lighting and LED lighting. At present, most of the lighting market is mainly based on the sale of lighting products. Even those who specialize in selling light bulbs are basically selling small-wattage household energy-saving light bulbs, or some decorative lamps such as laser lights, let alone High-power incandescent bulbs, even low-power incandescent lamps are a minority. "There are too few people who buy incandescent bulbs now, and they rarely sell them when they enter the market. They are not willing to sell them over time." A merchant in Wanjia Lighting City said.

Subsequently, the reporter went to the lighting and lighting areas of large supermarkets such as Wumei and Jingkelong, and found that the bulbs sold in the supermarkets were basically energy-saving bulbs and lamps. In the North Seven Building Materials City, 60-watt incandescent bulbs can still be seen everywhere, but there are very few 100-watts, and they are all unpackaged bulk goods. However, in some electrician shops in the urban-rural junction, incandescent bulbs of 100 watts or more are still available. "The purchase of these high-power incandescent bulbs is the need for engineering lighting. The house that usually lives is basically no one to use this." The store owner told reporters.

Online incandescent lamp sales are still booming

Incandescent lamps on the market are gradually fading out of sight. Is there a high-power incandescent lamp sold on Taobao, which is called “universal”? With questions, the reporter conducted a search on Taobao. After entering the keyword "incandescent 60W", 1412 items appeared, and the keyword search result of "incandescent 100W" also reached 200 pieces. In addition to some unnamed brands, these high-power incandescent bulbs are mainly based on brands such as Philips, Foshan Lighting, Shanghai Brand, and Shilin Lighting.

The reporter opened a store specializing in the sale of Shanghai brand incandescent lamps and found that in the description of the product parameters, the store wrote: "Power 90W, that is, 100W, because the country wants to save energy and reduce consumption, it does not allow 100W, so the bulb can only be marked above. For 90W, hereby declare."

China's incandescent lamp ban history

The biggest reason why incandescent lamps are gradually being banned is that it is not environmentally friendly. When using incandescent lamps, 95% of the electricity is consumed by heating, and only 5% of the electricity is truly converted into light that we can see. If the energy-saving lamp is used, the illumination of the 11-watt energy-saving lamp is the same as that of the 60-watt energy-saving lamp.

As early as 2011, China had an incandescent lamp elimination plan. The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce and other departments jointly issued the "Notice on the gradual ban on the import and sale of ordinary lighting incandescent lamps", clearly from November 1, 2011, according to the power level in five stages, gradually banned imports and sales of ordinary Lighting incandescent lamps. Today, ordinary lighting incandescent lamps of 100 watts and above have been banned from import and sale on October 1, 2012.

This year will enter the third stage. From October 1, 2014, it is forbidden to import and sell ordinary lighting incandescent lamps of 60 watts or more. It is expected that on October 1, 2016, the import and sale of general-purpose incandescent lamps of 15 watts or more will be banned or adjusted according to the results of the mid-term evaluation.

Future LED will be popular <br> <br> incandescent gradually withdraw from the market, and now people are still the most used energy-saving lamps. However, many people in the industry said that in the future lighting industry, LED will be popular. Nowadays, in some high-end and high-end lighting markets, LED household lamps have entered the eyes of consumers, and they are experiencing rapid development. LED kitchen lights, LED ceiling lights, LED crystal lights, LED spotlights... LED products have unwittingly occupied half of the high-end lighting market.

Xu Deheng, director of the Lighting Engineering Committee, said frankly that after the development, the original LED household lamps have become more and more perfect. “The brightness of a 7-watt LED bulb is equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent lamp, and it can save more than 85%, the service life is up to 40,000 hours, the energy-saving lamp is only 8,000 hours, and the LED can also be quickly switched. Ten thousand times."

Song Xin, general manager of Bandung Huiyang, believes that when LEDs first appeared in the market, the prices were generally high and could not be accepted by the public. However, with the development of the past two years, more companies have invested in LED lamps. Prices are also becoming more and more approachable. Yang Jun, general manager of Red Star Macalline Lighting Expo, said that LED as a sunrise industry, the future has unlimited development possibilities, but only needs a time for the public to understand and accept. Su Hongmei, the general manager of the house, said that as consumers pay more attention to quality and brand, LEDs will be widely used like energy-saving lamps.
