Zhejiang leads the "low-carbon lighting"

Ordinary incandescent lamps are also known as pop bulbs or GLS lamps. Tungsten visible light is generated by current heating tungsten filaments to 2500 degrees, of which 95% of the electrical energy is used to generate heat and only 5% is converted to light energy. As a mature energy-saving lamp technology, rare-earth trichromatic fluorescent lamps have a power saving rate as high as 70% compared with ordinary incandescent lamps. More broadly, green energy also includes metal halide lamps, energy-saving halogen lamps, and LED lamps, which are now very popular.

Such green lighting products are being laid out in the Zhejiang market. In order to control the global greenhouse effect, reduce air pollution, and reduce dependence on the rising energy of imported energy, Zhejiang low-carbon lighting industry started.

The “8 million” promotion plan has created a new concept of a 7-watt energy-saving lamp. The market sales price is 10 yuan, and the actual purchase price of the residents after enjoying financial subsidies is only 3.4 yuan. In 2008, in the first year of the state's financial subsidy policy, a total of 300,000 low-cost energy-saving lamps rushed to ordinary consumers in Hangzhou, and 200,000 financially-subsidized high-efficiency lighting products flowed to shopping malls, schools, and other large-scale customers in Hangzhou. The Wangma Community’s on-site sales outlets sold more than 6,000 energy-saving lamps in just a few days, and residents rushed to queue up.

According to Lou Qingshan, director of the Department of Resource Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization of the Economic Commission of Hangzhou Municipality, at the time, in the face of energy-saving lamp sales, in order to ensure fairness, justice, openness, and convenience, Hangzhou also linked energy-saving lamp promotion to the post office, and the people could go nearby. The post office can get the goods, but also can call the post office to order. The post office will deliver the goods to the door and charge 1.5 yuan each time.

The limited number of low-cost energy-saving lamps is far from being able to hydrolyze the “thirsty” demand. Up till now, the subsidy policy for energy-saving lamps has continued for the whole four years. Three million state-subsidized high-efficiency lighting products that were disassembled from our province in 2008 have increased to 8 million promotion tasks last year. Among them, there are 6.9 million compact fluorescent lamps, 1.1 million straight fluorescent lamps (T5 and T8) and high-pressure sodium lamps (tentatively 10,000, not included in the country's assigned mission volume).

It is reported that to complete all the promotion tasks, it is estimated that the total sales will be 160 million yuan. The state will need to invest 75 million yuan in financial subsidies and 3.8 million yuan in promotion work. After the completion of the promotion task, the province can achieve an annual energy saving of 1.6 billion kwh and contract 560,000 tons of standard coal.

Zhejiang Cheng’s “low-carbon lighting” manufacturing and exporting provinces In recent years, various regions in Zhejiang have carried out energy-saving lamps into communities, rural areas, enterprises, institutions, schools, hospitals and other activities. The concept of “low-carbon lighting” has been popularized. Also make many companies see the prospects of low-carbon lighting industry, the original province of Zhejiang lighting products has now become a low-carbon lighting manufacturing, exports of major provinces.

According to the statistics of the Zhejiang Provincial Lighting Association, during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, Zhejiang has ranked second in the country for several consecutive years, regardless of the main business income or product categories (electrical light sources, lamps, and lamp materials). The latest statistical data show that from January to November 2010, there were a total of 3,323 enterprises above designated size in the lighting industry, and 1,029 in Zhejiang, with an output value of 43.579 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33.69%, an increase of 6.25 percentage points over the national output value, and a profit of 1.988 billion yuan. Yuan, a year-on-year increase of 43.18%.

In recent years, although LED lighting products account for less than 5% of the province, low-carbon lighting industry has emerged. In 2009, the output of compact fluorescent lamps in Zhejiang was about 1.2 billion, accounting for 30-35% of the national total, ranking first in the country; the output of energy-saving lamps was 1.7 billion, accounting for 37.5% of the national total, ranking first in the country; There are 140 million tubes, accounting for 76% of the national total, ranking first in the country.

Low-carbon lighting companies have gradually agglomeration effect of scale, Zhejiang Shenghui, Jingri, famous core, Star Bi, Qiushi, Hangzhou Xiaoshan sea whale and a large number of emerging industries dominated by LED lighting products have mushroomed. Last year, among the three state ministries and commissions nationwide bidding for LED lighting demonstration projects, seven enterprises in Zhejiang won the bid, accounting for 30% of the total number of successful bidders in the country, ranking high on the list.

The low-carbon concept has deepened these business awareness. Zhejiang lighting industry T5, T8, CFL, CCFL, HID and non-polar fluorescent lamps and other energy-saving light sources and their lamps develop rapidly. To reduce pollution, most companies have actively implemented solid-state mercury to replace liquid mercury. This requires companies to reduce the amount of mercury injected in the lamp under the premise of ensuring product quality, so as to reduce the mercury pollution caused by the waste lamp. At the same time, it also requires companies to reduce mercury vapor emissions during the production of mercury injection lighting products to protect the physical health of front-line workers.

According to incomplete statistics, to date, solid mercury substitutes for mercury account for about 50-60% of the total output of mercury products. In this regard, the products of Zhejiang Sunshine, Jinyun Shanpu, and Yuzhong Gaohong are all in favor of environmental protection from production to use and recycling. Many advanced technologies are worth learning.

Focusing on the search for new blue oceans and the international situation, in recent years, the European Union, Russia, Japan, and the United States have launched the elimination of traditional high energy-consuming products such as incandescent lamps. The energy-saving trend of the lighting industry has brought huge business opportunities to Zhejiang low-carbon lighting, but it faces The industry's dilemma also raises concerns.

According to the Provincial Lighting Association, the first brunt of the technical barriers to restrict the expansion of exports. The EU, the United States and other places frequently publish various technologies and certification standards, raising the market access threshold. Among them, the European Directive "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive," "Prohibition of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment," and "The Ecological Product Design Framework Directive" have the most prominent impact on harmful substances and chemicals. The strict regulations on the management and disposal of waste electrical and electronic products have set a high threshold for export enterprises. Followed by the absence of waste energy-saving lamp recycling system caused by environmental pressure. Domestic energy-saving lamps basically contain mercury. According to calculations, an ordinary energy-saving lamp contains about 5 milligrams of mercury, and infiltration into the ground can cause 1,800 tons of water to be contaminated. At present, only three energy-saving lamp companies in China are equipped with recycling devices. In addition, due to the low barriers to entry in the industry, companies compete for orders and vicious price competition, resulting in product quality is not optimistic.

In this regard, many insightful companies have effectively broken through.

"Although there are many domestic LED companies, most of them are concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain, and the core products such as upstream epitaxial wafers are still subject to foreign control. LED epitaxial wafers and chips account for about 70% of the profits of the industry, and the remaining profits are shared by packaging and applications. "In Haiyan, Zhejiang's largest LED industrial park, the Hangzhou Bay LED Industrial Park covering an area of ​​1,000 mu, Yawei Lang Optoelectronics (China) Co., Ltd. organized advanced technologies at home and abroad and began production of LED epitaxial wafers that are still scarce in the country. At present, the company has occupied a quarter of the industrial park.

"Aiming at the upper reaches of the industrial chain, we will not take the 'Red Sea' and take a 'blue ocean'. After the full release of our production capacity, it will account for one-tenth of the domestic blue-green epitaxial wafer market," said Yan Chunhui, the company's principal.

In order to prevent enterprises from being disadvantaged in the fierce market competition, there are still some key enterprises in Zhejiang that have achieved strong alliances through different means, such as Hengdiandebang and Philips, Jiangshan Sanyou and NVC, Jinyunshan Pu and Op, Zhejiang Zhongqi. With GE, Hangzhou Hanguang and Zhejiang Sunshine.

The Provincial Lighting Association believes that if the low-carbon lighting industry is a single product, continuous development is more difficult. OEM production for international brands such as Philips and GE may be a development strategy for enterprises at the current stage, but it cannot be the ultimate goal of the company. Through resource integration, complementing each other's advantages, expanding the scale and competitiveness of other business models is worth learning from.
