The EU's environmental standards have always been the highest in the world, and the relevant regulations are also the most stringent. As far as the use of incandescent lamps is concerned, the European Commission set a specific timetable in March 2007 to phase out such products with relatively high energy and carbon dioxide emissions. At the end of 2008, the EU announced that 27 member states have reached an agreement on an incandescent lamp restriction program. In order to prevent global warming, countries will stop the sale of household incandescent lamps in the EU by 2012, and switch to energy-efficient energy-saving. light. According to the plan, the program will be implemented in phases from March 2009 after approval by the European Parliament. On August 31, 2012, the deadline for the total ban on incandescent bulbs in the EU came. After that, in theory, any merchant in the EU will no longer be able to purchase and sell incandescent bulbs. After the sold incandescent lamp has reached the end of its useful life, it will exit the stage.
According to EU research, coal-fired power plants emit a lot of harmful gases during power generation. Incandescent lamps consume less than 15 energy, have a short life span, and are frequently replaced, resulting in huge energy waste. Therefore, the elimination of incandescent lamps and the reduction of power demand have reduced environmental pollution. The energy-saving lamp (compact fluorescent lamp) that replaces incandescent lamps has an energy consumption ratio of 50. The relevant EU survey materials indicate that replacing traditional light bulbs with energy-saving lamps can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 15 million tons per year in the power generation process. Save 1 power consumption. According to estimates by the European Commission, the elimination of incandescent lamps can reduce the average expenditure of 50 euros per family in EU member states, and the entire EU can save up to 10 billion euros in energy costs.
The European Commission passed a regulation in Brussels in 2007 requiring its member states to phase out incandescent lamps and other high-energy lighting equipment for use in households, industrial sectors and public places from 2009 to 2012, and completely eliminate incandescent lamps by the end of 2012. . The European Commission pointed out that the reason for phasing out high-energy-consumption lighting equipment such as incandescent lamps in four years is to enable manufacturers to gradually adjust their product structure to meet consumers' energy consumption, function, aesthetics and hygiene in lighting equipment. Demand.
Of course, interest groups related to the production and sales of traditional incandescent lamps and energy-saving lamps have not stopped their efforts to conduct frequent public relations activities on the EU's policy of abandoning incandescent lamps. However, the EU's policies have been set and implemented smoothly, and the fate of incandescent lamps should be on the verge of dying in the EU. The production and sales of traditional lamps and lanterns must adapt to and keep up with this trend and become an energy-saving lighting enterprise. Otherwise, they will only face the fate of being eliminated. Experts in the EU believe that due to the existence of a hard indicator of environmental protection, the fate of incandescent lamps in other parts of the world will certainly be the same as the EU. In addition to the EU, Japan, Australia and other countries have announced the same policy.
But energy-saving lamps also have shortcomings, causing some consumers to reluctant to give up traditional light bulbs. For example, when the energy-saving lamp is just turned on, the light is darker, and it gradually lights up after a few minutes. The color of the light is different from that of the traditional incandescent lamp. It needs an adaptation process. Secondly, although the energy-saving lamp has a relatively long life, the lamp The price is too high; in addition, the energy-saving lamps contain mercury vapor, so the waste energy-saving lamps cannot be discarded casually and must be recycled.
Now that the world has begun to eliminate the pace of incandescent lamps, the EU can say that it has already set an example. China's LED lighting industry should take advantage of this opportunity to better utilize the advantages of LED lighting energy conservation and environmental protection, and open up the domestic lighting market, which not only benefits the LED industry, but also contributes to China's energy conservation and environmental protection.
