Energy saving is an inevitable trend, the LED lighting era is coming within five years

Energy-saving becomes an inevitable trend. The LED lighting era is coming within five years. In recent years, some economically developed countries in the world have launched fierce technological competitions around the development of LEDs. The United States has invested 100 million US dollars to implement the 'National Semiconductor Lighting Program' from the beginning of the year. The 'Interim Measures for the Management of Financial Subsidy Funds for the Promotion of High-Efficiency Lighting Products' introduced by the Ministry of Finance of my country this year included semiconductor LED lighting. LED is recognized as the 'green lighting' of the century, especially its energy-saving advantages have been widely recognized. People's Daily Online invited Tang Guoqing, director of the Semiconductor Lighting Specialty Committee of China Lighting Association and General Manager of Cree's China Market, to talk about the 'development trend of LED lighting.' Moderator: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the video interview of People's Daily Online. Today’s guest in our studio is Tang Guoqing, director of the Semiconductor Lighting Committee of China Lighting Association and General Manager of Cree China. Please chat with netizens. Hello. Tang Guoqing: Hello everyone, I am very happy to communicate with you today. Moderator: Mr. Tang, LED has been recognized as the green lighting of the century, especially its energy-saving advantages have been widely recognized by us. Could you please briefly outline the current development status of LED lighting technology? Tang Guoqing: I am very happy to answer your question. LED lighting has developed to this step, and now we have formed a consensus in the LED industry or the lighting industry, especially in the second half of this year, what consensus has been formed? Originally we were still discussing whether LEDs can be used for lighting, but the topic we are discussing today is how LEDs can make lighting better, that is to say, LEDs as lighting have become everyone's unanimous view. Moderator: What is the maturity of the current LED lighting technology? Tang Guoqing: Our country established the semiconductor lighting engineering coordination leading group office this year, that is to say, our country's LED lighting industry has officially started. But this start requires a process. In other words, it took about a year for the energy-saving lamp to be applied after the initial stage. I think it may be halved from the initial stage to the application (without years). Therefore, there are two phenomena in the development of LED today. I think It is worthy of everyone's attention. ** At the Shanghai World Expo that closed yesterday, there are two figures that arouse everyone’s attention.% lighting is made of LEDs. This is the statistics of the Shanghai Optoelectronics Society. **, 100 million LEDs were used in the Expo, which is a very remarkable number. So we say that LED is a brand new display at the World Expo. It is mainly displayed in several aspects. Whether it is landscape lighting, it is LED. Plaza lighting, including indoor lighting. Yesterday, we saw that the lighting was LED at the venue. So this is where the development is relatively fast. In addition, as far as Beijing is concerned, Beijing* is typically the Olympic Games of the Year. The Bird’s Nest, Water Cube, and the large screens of Pangu Grand View are all made of LEDs. Therefore, the development of LEDs in China is indeed relatively fast. As I said earlier, It has become the consensus of everyone. *The key issue is that everyone determines that it is a real low-carbon lighting, ecological lighting, or green lighting. Moderator: In your opinion, compared to traditional lighting, does LED lighting have such obvious energy-saving advantages as you said? Tang Guoqing: Let's talk about what everyone has in common. The incandescent light bulb invented by LED was used in the World Expo 2010, and then promoted to the world. I also serve as the legal representative and permanent vice chairman of the Shanghai Optoelectronics Association. We wanted to give such a suggestion to Shanghai or to the World Expo. , Can LED lighting be regarded as a milestone development. Facts have proved that no matter whether we are promoted by the government or the market should always come, the World Expo is the embodiment. Including yesterday’s evening party, it wouldn’t be so exciting if there were no LED lights. The bright places are all LEDs. LED is the inevitable trend of development in terms of lighting. Why is LED an inevitable trend of development? Because it is% compared with incandescent lamps, which is almost double. Because the luminous efficiency of incandescent lamps is wasted and converted into heat energy, which is not the case with LEDs. Now everyone is focusing on it. One is to care about its energy-saving aspects. In addition, I want to answer that it is not only an energy-saving, but I personally feel that it is most important to environmental protection. The energy-saving lamps we use nowadays are a big issue for environmental protection. For example, replacing incandescent lamps with energy-saving lamps. I think it’s a temporary practice, because it’s not the most ideal way, because every cubic meter of energy-saving lamps contains Mercury milligrams, if the lamp is damaged and there is no effective recycling method in a country, the biggest benefit of LED is energy saving, its long life, good energy saving effect, reducing carbon emissions, and more importantly, environmental protection. A friendly green lighting.
