Can high-energy incandescent lamps really exit the market?

China is a big country in the production and consumption of incandescent lamps. Under the circumstances of vigorously promoting energy conservation and emission reduction and actively responding to climate change around the world, many countries have issued plans to phase out incandescent lamps and accelerate the elimination of inefficient lighting products. With the development of society and economy and the gradual improvement of people’s living standards, the popularity and enhancement of lighting and electricity saving consciousness, the concept of “green environmental protection lighting” enjoys popular support. The market share of high-efficiency lighting products has been increasing year by year, eliminating inefficient lighting products and using high-efficiency lighting. Products have gradually become a social consensus.

China's phase-out plan for the phase-out of incandescent bulbs From a worldwide perspective, since the Australian government first announced in 2007 that the incandescent lamp had been completely phased out through legislation, more than a dozen countries and regions have successively issued incandescent lamp elimination plans, Canada and Taiwan. Japan, the United States, and European Union countries are all listed among them. As a worldwide promotion and innovation, the exit of incandescent lamps will be inevitable. If implemented smoothly, the ban on incandescent lamps will save energy and reduce greenhouse gases and prevent global warming. Play a big role.

However, when it was implemented into the terminal, how were the implementation of each major lighting (light decoration effect drawing) city implemented? Is the high-energy incandescent lamp above 100W really forbidden? In this regard, the author visited several major lighting fixtures in Shanghai and investigated the ban on the incandescent light bulbs above 100W in the Shanghai market.

Shanghai Lighting City has also forgotten all of the IKEA environmentalists. The author first came to Liuying Road, located in Hongkou District, where there is XinLiYing Lighting City, which ranks first in Shanghai in terms of retail sales, and Shanghai Lighting City, which has a creative design sense. Under the visit, the author found that lighting, as a member of the home building materials decoration industry, was affected by the national prevention and control policy. The two lighting companies added together more than 300 merchants in the building, shopping. The purchase of customers can be said to be very few, can not help but feel the impact of the room control policy for the home industry and impact. However, the author is pleased that after visiting a number of lighting stores in the city, no signs of incandescent lamps were found. Only a corner of a shop window was dotted with several incandescent lamps less than 100W. The clerk replied, "These lights are all stocks. Nowadays, few people have bought incandescent lamps that are not power-durable and not durable. General energy-saving is the customer's first choice, followed by the brightness of fancy lighting."

In the second stop, the author came to Xuhuidian, a well-known decorative lighting city on Tianlin Dong Road. As the leading brand in Shanghai, the author expected to see more customers than Shanghai Lighting City, and the author was disappointed. In the original two-story lighting city, only the first floor was in operation. After consulting the store clerk, it was known that the second floor was being refurbished and it was not clear when the business was reopened. It seems that even branded stores that are relatively popular in the country have also been affected by housing control. The author visited a number of shops in the first floor of Haoshi Lighting Factory. Only two of them have incandescent lamps, but they are not for sale, but they are placed at the entrance as contrasts with LED lamps. Many stores in good homes also use energy-saving lamps and LED lamps as the main products. The LED experience hall and the green lighting experience hall can be seen everywhere. Energy consumption and green consumption patterns can be said to be deeply rooted among Chinese consumers.

Will you choose a product that is brighter but will pollute the atmosphere or a product that is more green and energy-efficient? In the third stop, the author came to IKEA near Tianlin Road. The price of creative products and civilians made IKEA still maintain the heat in the cold of home. I hurriedly visited the lighting area, has always been to promote the green IKEA has long been no incandescent figure, so I set off before the next stop, Shanghai City Lighting City.

As one of the largest and best environmental lighting markets in Shanghai, CityU has many domestic and international famous brands such as NVC, Sanli, Philips and Osram. However, although there are only a few customers visiting the store, I have not seen customers who have successfully signed purchases. CityU brings together many well-known lighting brands. Philips and Samsung have already launched energy-saving and environmentally-friendly LED lamps, cutting off the use of high-energy incandescent lamps from the source of production.

However, during the author’s visit, I discovered that only a few employees knew about the prohibition of the import and sale of incandescent lamps above 100W. Most of the staff members were unaware. “We haven’t heard of things that we want to ban, but now we have incandescent lamps. The majority of consumers still prefer to choose energy-saving lamps. Now that electricity prices are also very expensive, they all want to save electricity." Ji Hao's clerk said. So, is the consumer aware of the prohibition policy? How is this viewed? The author randomly interviewed several customers who were visiting the store.

Consumers' lighting habits have long been subtle. Ms. Zhang from Xuhui District is preparing to buy the right lamps for her son's new home. She said that it is known that the sale of incandescent lamps above 100W is forbidden because there are news broadcasts. The author asked if I would think that it would affect her purchase. She smiled and said, “There is no impact at all. When I buy a light, I will be saving energy, if it can be environmentally friendly, then it will be better”. People will use incandescent lamps, and it is very easy to use electricity."

The Mr. Gu who lives in Zhabei District, said that the choice of lighting or according to their own home to the actual decoration to choose, if necessary, will choose incandescent lamps, after all, the price is very cheap, but the brightness is also enough. When I asked if I would choose energy-saving lamps and LED lamps with slightly higher prices but very environmental protection, Mr. Gu said that he believes that the popularity of LED lamps is a trend. Incandescent lamps will eventually be eliminated by the market. So, if you can If he is more environmentally friendly, he will still consider using LED lights in his renovations.

After visiting the store, the author summarizes the following points. First of all, the winter of the home industry is still continuing, but creative homes and low prices are still important means of competition. This can be seen from the popularity of IKEA. Second, high-energy incandescent lamps did not appear in Shanghai stores, indicating that Shanghai's stores’ support and implementation of national policies is worthy of recognition. The author believes that it is not appropriate to want to prohibit incandescent lighting from being enforced brute force in policy. If this can be popularized in everyone's hearts if it can further popularize green, energy-saving and environmental-friendly lamps, then the incandescent lamp will completely withdraw from China. Markets and global markets are just around the corner.
