China's green lighting prospects

I. Introduction

Lighting power is the most basic power demand for people for work, study and daily life. For a long time, China’s lighting power accounts for more than one-tenth of the country’s total electricity consumption, and the average annual consumption growth reaches double digits, which has exceeded the total power of the whole country. The growth rate of consumption. China's current rapid development of the national economy, energy resources and power supply is relatively tight, while the lighting power is the peak load electricity, which directly affects the power installation and power consumption, therefore, whether the lighting is saving electricity in the near future or in the future For a long time, it will be a key content of China's energy-saving work. The concept of "green lighting" originated in the United States in the early 1990s and spread to many countries in the world. It is to increase lighting efficiency and save electricity. The main goal of lighting energy-saving activities is to protect the environment. The main approach is to use scientific lighting design and lighting control methods to select energy-efficient lighting fixtures to replace traditional low-efficiency lighting fixtures in order to improve lighting efficiency and lighting quality. The vigorous development of the "lighting" movement is mainly affected by two aspects. First, the lighting technology and new products have emerged in the past half a century. The increasing rate has provided technical guarantees for lighting and energy saving. Second, due to energy crisis and global climate change, the rise of the global green energy conservation and environmental protection movement has been promoted and the green lighting movement has been promoted. The “green lighting” movement has passed ten years. Years of practice have now been recognized by the international community as a successful model for the implementation of sustainable development.

The government’s concern for “green lighting” has taken the lead in the world. As early as in 1993, in order to promote the entire society to save electricity and electricity and promote sustainable economic and social development, the former State Economic and Trade Commission organized experts to conduct research and demonstration in China.” The feasibility of the "Green Lighting Plan" was jointly issued in the same year with the former State Development Planning Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Construction in 13 departments and units. The "China Green Lighting Project Implementation Plan" jointly initiated the China Green Lighting Project. The purpose is to develop and promote efficient lighting fixtures in China, improve lighting quality, save lighting power, and create a lighting environment that is high quality, efficient, economical, comfortable, safe, and conducive to the environment and people's life and work. Since the launch of China's green lighting project It has been highly valued and strongly supported by various government departments. The project has been listed as a major demonstration project in the field of energy conservation during the “Ninth Five-Year Plan” and “Tenth Five-Year Plan” period in China. Under the active support of various relevant departments and units in various regions, With the assistance of relevant international organizations, the scale of project implementation has been continuously expanded and the content has been continuously enriched, both in promoting the technical progress of the lighting electrical appliance industry. Improve product quality, improve relevant standards, expand product markets, or make significant contributions in promoting energy conservation and environmental protection work, improving people’s living standards, etc., and gained useful experience, becoming a major influence in our country, promoting Sustainable development of the model project.

Second, the effectiveness of China's green lighting project

It has attracted governments at all levels and all walks of life to invest in lighting and electricity saving, making green lighting a social power saving project with certain momentum and scale.

The implementation of “green lighting” is a social system project that relates to saving resources and promoting sustainable development in China. It requires the organization and guidance of the government. China’s green lighting project has received meticulous organization and detailed arrangements from the government’s authorities since its inception. The project was incorporated into the National "Energy Conservation and Resources Comprehensive Utilization Plan", in which high-efficiency electric light source and ballast technology was listed as a key development of energy-saving technologies, and green lighting publicity activities were the annual "energy conservation awareness week" key activities. In the major national technological transformation projects, RMB 190 million was specially allocated as a technological upgrading project to improve the quality of lighting products, effectively attracting all kinds of social funds to invest in the “green lighting” business. Local provincial energy conservation and energy saving departments have responded and invested Manpower and material resources, in line with the implementation of China's green lighting project, extensively carried out demonstration activities and experience exchange activities. As of May 2003, more than 10 provinces and cities across the country have launched “green lighting” promotion demonstrations and educational campaigns of different scales. , participate in the "green lighting" activities include all levels of energy-saving authorities and energy-saving associations, wide Large-scale lighting users, lighting appliances manufacturers, industry associations and academic groups, design institutes, colleges and universities and related research institutions, and even major, primary and secondary school students are also actively involved. China's green lighting project has become a certain social festival Electrical engineering.

As Chinese government departments attach great importance to the work of “green lighting” and have received echoes from some international energy and environmental protection agencies, international organizations such as the United Nations Development Program, the Global Environment Facility, and the U.S. Energy Foundation have given over 9 million projects. The US dollar grant has made positive contributions to the overall promotion of China's green lighting project.
