LED light source replacement tide hits incandescent lamp faces elimination1

In January 1 this year, the best-selling 40-watt and 60-watt incandescent lamps in the US market stopped selling. At the same time, in Asia, South Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines have also taken measures to promote the use of energy-saving bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs. As countries begin to completely ban incandescent lamps, the replacement of light sources will be fully opened in 2014, and LED lamps are expected to gradually occupy the lighting market. The United States officially said goodbye to incandescent lamps. According to the Energy Independence and Security Act promulgated by the United States in 2007, since January 1, 2014, the 40-watt and 60-watt incandescent lamps sold in the US market have stopped selling. After the elimination of incandescent lamps, the United States encourages the use of energy-saving compact fluorescent lamps, LED lamps and other bulbs with higher energy efficiency ratios. Analysts believe that LED bulbs are more energy-saving and environmentally friendly than other energy-saving lamps, so LED replacement of incandescent lamps will have a broad market space. CIC consultants pointed out in a research article that the market prospect of LED lamps is unlimited when incandescent lamps are eliminated. In Asia, South Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines have also taken measures to promote the use of energy-saving bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs. As the above-mentioned countries begin to completely ban incandescent lamps, the replacement of light sources will be fully opened in 2014. LED lamps are expected to gradually enter the lighting market, which undoubtedly promotes the development of the LED lighting market. China is also methodically eliminating incandescent lamps. As early as November 4, 2011, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce and other departments jointly issued the 'announcement on the gradual ban on the import and sale of ordinary lighting incandescent lamps. ' The 'announcement' clearly stipulates that from November 1, 2011, the import and sale of general lighting incandescent lamps will be gradually banned in five stages according to the power level. The 'announcement' shows that since October 1, 2014, China has banned the import and sale of 60 watts and above ordinary lighting incandescent lamps; The mid-term evaluation period is from October 1-20, 2015 to September 30; From October 1, 2016, it is forbidden to import and sell general lighting incandescent lamps of 15 watts or above, or adjust according to the mid-term evaluation results. The price of LED bulb lamps has dropped and the demand has soared. At present, alternative light source products such as bulb lamps and lamps are popular in the market. It is estimated that compared with 2013, the demand for LED bulb lamps will increase by 86 in 2014, while the demand for LED lamps will increase by 89. Insiders pointed out that due to the rapid decline in the price of LED lighting products, which has stimulated market demand, various manufacturers continue to introduce various LED lighting products in order to be close to the price of traditional lighting products. Take LED bulb lamp as an example. Compared with 2012, the price drop rate of LED bulb lamp products has obviously accelerated this year, and the price difference between different brands is gradually narrowing. The positive price strategy of first-line manufacturers is expected to bring considerable impetus to the development of LED lighting market, and the demand driven by price stimulation will be further fermented in 2014. In addition to the manufacturer's price strategy, the bidding and subsidy policies of various regional markets are of great help to improve the penetration rate of LED lighting. For example, there are still some regions in North America that continue to implement the EnergyStar subsidy project, and the subsidized lamp price is more acceptable to consumers. In addition, the successive implementation of incandescent lamp ban policies in various countries has also played a greater role in promoting the development of the LED lamp market.
