A list of practices for popularizing energy-saving lamps in some countries


The EU countries have done a lot of basic work to promote energy-saving lighting products. For example, the European Commission issued the EU Uniform Energy Efficiency Labeling Regulations (92/75/EEC Energy Efficiency Labeling Guidelines) in September 1992, requiring electrical products sold in the EU. Information such as the energy efficiency rating and annual energy consumption of the product must be marked to enable users and consumers to compare and select energy consumption among numerous electrical brands. At present, the EU has implemented mandatory energy efficiency labels for seven types of products, including household refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners, including lighting fixtures.

At the EU Council summit held in early March this year, EU member governments reached an agreement to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20% by 2020, and agreed to save energy, reduce emissions, and protect the climate. One of the important strategic indicators for EU social progress and economic development in the future. To this end, the EU has clearly proposed a policy of universal use of energy-saving lamps, decided to stop the production of incandescent lamps for general lighting in the EU within two years, and gradually replaced incandescent lamps with energy-saving lamps.

According to estimates by experts from the European Commission, if the government departments of the EU member states and each family replace incandescent lamps with energy-saving lamps, it can reduce 60% of the lighting power of government agencies and more than 70% of household lighting. The European Commission will draw up a draft for this, in 2008 to develop energy-saving requirements for office lighting equipment, and in 2009 to introduce energy-saving requirements for household lighting equipment. In addition, the EU will also develop lighting management rules for urban streets and highways with lighting facilities to fully implement energy conservation and environmental protection plans.

Hans, a lighting technology expert in Belgium, told reporters that the hometown of energy-saving lamps is in Europe. Its official name is “Rare Earth Tricolor Compact Fluorescent Lamps”. It was successfully developed by Philips in the Netherlands in the 1970s. Its production technology has been developed to this day. When the brightness of the light output is the same, it only takes 20% to 25% of the electricity consumption of ordinary incandescent lamps, which can save a lot of energy and related expenses. Because of this, people are crowned with the name of energy-saving lamps. At present, after more than 30 years of technological innovation and process improvement, European energy-saving lamps companies can produce high-quality energy-saving lamps with a service life of up to 8,000 hours and a luminous efficiency of more than 5 times that of incandescent lamps. It costs only 12 to 15 euros and drops to 5 to 10 euros (common incandescent lamps are currently priced at 1 to 3 euros each).

Hans also calculated an economic account for the use of energy-saving lamps in ordinary Belgian households. It is calculated according to the illumination of a 40-watt incandescent lamp for 5 hours a day. The annual electricity consumption is about 73 degrees (KWH) to the low peak of the Belgian power company. The annual electricity consumption is 3? 惫 7 euros, the annual electricity bill should be about 290 euros, plus 2 incandescent bulbs about 3 euros (5 hours per day, each incandescent lamp life is 200 days), year-round It costs a total of 293 euros. If you use the same energy-efficient energy-saving lamps, you only need 8 watts, and you don't need to change the bulbs in the same year (the energy-saving lamps last for about 27 months). The annual electricity consumption is only 14 times, and the electricity bill should be paid. 58 euros, plus 1 energy-saving lamp about 10 euros, a total cost of 68 euros. The use of energy-saving lamps has reduced the cost of 225 euros compared to the use of incandescent lamps. At the same time, the energy consumption of energy-saving lamps and the corresponding greenhouse emission reduction indicators have also dropped nearly four times.

Hans also came up with a piece of information to further introduce that in February this year, the International Energy Agency, based in Paris, France, held the "International Symposium on the Quality of Compact Fluorescent Lamps and the Strategy of Phase-out of Incandescent Lamps". The meeting was attended by more than 70 representatives from 24 countries, including representatives from the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea and China. At the meeting, representatives of the European Lighting Enterprise Alliance made a clear commitment to continuously innovate the concept of the home lighting industry. Through the renovation of lamps and new designs, it encouraged the use of energy-saving lamps and gradually eliminated inefficient lighting products. European practices have been supported by representatives of the United Nations Development Programme, UNEP and the Global Environment Facility.

The EU countries have done a lot of basic work to promote energy-saving lighting products. For example, the European Commission issued the EU Uniform Energy Efficiency Labeling Regulations (92/75/EEC Energy Efficiency Labeling Guidelines) in September 1992, requiring electrical products sold in the EU. Information such as the energy efficiency rating and annual energy consumption of the product must be indicated. At present, the EU has implemented mandatory energy efficiency labels for seven types of products, including household refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners, including lighting fixtures. Hans presented the reporter with an “Electrical Energy Saving Chart”, which is intended for consumers to refer to when purchasing household appliances. The chart shows that the EU divides the energy consumption of the same type of household appliances into seven grades, represented by the letters A to G, each grade representing different energy consumption indicators, the lowest energy consumption of Class A, the second grade of B, and the energy consumption of Class G. highest. At the same time, the reporter saw that there is a corresponding energy consumption mark on the packaging of the energy-saving light bulb, and the energy-saving lamp shows A grade in the label column, and the service life is marked as 6000 hours. The marking of a 40-watt incandescent lamp is Class E, and the marking of a 25-watt incandescent lamp is Class F, with a service life of 1000 hours. Although incandescent and energy-saving lamps differ by 5 to 8 euros in the price of a one-time purchase, the vast majority of consumers who understand performance indicators will choose to purchase energy-saving lamps.

In order to ensure the accuracy, reliability and authority of the identification information, and to create a good market environment that encourages the use of energy-saving lamps and energy-saving appliances, all countries in the EU have established a relatively complete system of label quality inspection and market supervision, and stipulated strict implementation. Measures. For example, companies are required to register or report the energy efficiency characteristics of products to specific institutions; manufacturers are required to conduct necessary energy consumption tests for each batch of electrical products; and use energy-saving information of electrical products in the inspection systems and databases of public institutions within the EU and member states. Timely announcement to the public; establishment of websites by manufacturers or industry associations to promote energy-saving products, accept consumer technical inquiries and complaints; establish mechanisms for manufacturers to supervise each other.

The EU has also formulated and implemented corresponding incentive policies for enterprises, institutions and consumers that produce and use energy-efficient products, such as tax reduction and exemption for enterprises; purchase subsidies and electricity prices for institutions and consumers; and low-energy products Incorporate into government procurement plans, etc. These measures also provide incentives for companies to continuously develop new energy-saving products, improve energy-saving technologies, and stimulate consumers to purchase low-energy appliances. In addition, in order to meet the dual needs of energy-saving lighting and decoration, EU manufacturers are working hard on the design of energy-saving lamps to make the products more colorful. At present, there are not only energy-saving lamps of the same shape as incandescent lamps, but also spiral, three-column or tube-type energy-saving lamps. In order to suit the European residents' preference for using chandeliers, there are not only small-caliber energy-saving lamps in the European market, but also technicians are studying candle-type and water-drop type energy-saving bulbs. I believe that multi-color energy-saving lamps can also be purchased in the market in the future.
