The time is about to enter October, and the pace of incandescent bulbs withdrawing from the market is increasing. LED manufacturers have launched LED series bulbs to reflect this effect. Looking at the development of the LED industry in recent years, especially the LED lighting part, it has not only benefited from the implementation of government policies around the world, but also has been continuously upgraded in the new lighting products launched by major manufacturers at home and abroad, making it inevitable for LED lamps to replace incandescent lamps. trend.

Governments have introduced plans to ban the sale of incandescent lamps

The first to propose the elimination of incandescent lamps is the European Union where the LED industry is relatively mature. It issued regulations in December 2008. From September 1, 2009 to December 31, 2012, 100w, 75w, 60w, 40w and 25w incandescent lamps will be phased out in five stages; for Germany and Argentina, it will also Since 2011, the sale of incandescent bulbs above 40w and ordinary incandescent bulbs above 25w has been banned, and energy-saving lamps such as compact fluorescent lamps and LEDs have been replaced.

In the Asian region, Japan had to "retire" incandescent bulbs ahead of schedule in June this year in order to cope with the shortage of power supply, and instead vigorously promoted LED bulbs. The South Korean government also plans to ban the production and sale of incandescent lamps from 2014.

While countries around the world have successively launched plans to ban the sale of incandescent lamps, the Chinese government also held a press conference on the roadmap for phasing out incandescent lamps on November 4, 2011, and issued the "Regarding the gradual ban on the import and sale of general lighting incandescent lamps". "Announcement", it was decided to gradually ban the import and sale of general lighting incandescent lamps in stages according to the power level from October 1, 2012.

According to the "Announcement", China’s roadmap for phasing out incandescent lamps is divided into five stages: November 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012 is the transitional period; from October 1, 2012, the import and sale of 100w and above ordinary Lighting incandescent lamps; the import and sale of general lighting incandescent lamps of 60w and above will be prohibited from October 1, 2014; October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016 is the mid-term evaluation period; the import will be prohibited from October 1, 2016 And sell 15w and above general lighting incandescent lamps, or adjust according to the mid-term evaluation results.

Domestic and foreign manufacturers have successively introduced new LED bulbs to replace incandescent lamps

Following the trend of countries all over the world turning to LED bulbs, LED giants at home and abroad have seized this business opportunity and launched replacement LED bulbs of different wattages.

International major manufacturers Osram Sylvania and GE launched LED bulbs to replace 100w incandescent lamps; Cree launched a 170 lm/W prototype LED bulb with a luminous flux of more than 1250lm and a power consumption of only 7.3W, setting a new industry record; Philips even more Aimed at the civilian market, the "myVision" and "myAm-biance" series of LED bulbs have been launched. The 6w and 9.5w LED bulbs of the "huixin" series are equivalent to traditional 40w and 60w incandescent bulbs.

In the Chinese mainland market, the LED bulbs launched by various companies have made breakthroughs in quality and price: Zhenmingli recently launched a $1 3w LED bulb to replace the 25w incandescent bulbs currently on the market; Baishi Optoelectronics' "Milan style" series of LED bulbs can replace traditional 25W, 30W, 40W and 60W incandescent lamps with a life span of 40,000 hours.
