LED lights will be half cheaper than now

Recently, six ministries and commissions including the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly issued the "Semiconductor Lighting Energy-saving Industry Plan." The plan is clear: to promote LED lighting energy industry, the average annual growth in output value of about 30% in 2015 reached 450 billion yuan, and put forward a series of specific safeguards and incentives. The industry believes that with the development of LED technology and the introduction of energy-saving subsidies, LED products will become “power saving and save money” and be accepted by more consumers.

The elimination of all incandescent lamps over 60W in 2015 will release the “Semiconductor Lighting Energy-Saving Industry Plan”, which is called the "red envelope of old age" received by the LED industry in the new year. This industrial planning jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the six ministries and commissions of the State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has made detailed provisions for the development of the semiconductor lighting energy-saving industry in the coming years.

According to the plan, by 2015, all 60W incandescent lamps used in general lighting will be eliminated, the market share will drop below 10%; the market share of traditional high-efficiency lighting products such as energy-saving lamps will be stable at around 70%; LED functional lighting products will occupy the market The rate of more than 20%, to achieve annual electricity savings of 60 billion degrees, equivalent to saving 21 million tons of standard coal, reducing carbon dioxide emissions of nearly 60 million tons.

In addition, the plan also requires LED lighting energy-saving industry, the average annual growth rate of about 30% in 2015 reached 450 billion yuan (of which 180 billion yuan LED lighting applications). The industrial structure has been further optimized. A group of semiconductor lighting industry clusters with distinctive characteristics have been established; 10-15 leading enterprises with core technologies, more independent intellectual property rights and well-known brands, and strong quality competitiveness have been formed.

Zhejiang Liangcheng lighting companies involved in the LED industry Weng Maoyuan, chairman of the Zhejiang Lighting Association, believes that under this policy, more and more traditional lighting companies will begin to get involved in the LED industry, business transformation will become a trend, "2011 In 2000, Zhejiang’s LED accounted for less than 5% of the entire lighting industry, and it has increased to 15% last year. The theme of the industry conference in June this year is “the transformation of traditional lighting companies and the speedup of LED lighting production”. In 2012, it was Zhejiang LED. This year will be a year of rapid development. From this point of view, it is also consistent with the country's planning."

The relevant person in charge of Yuzhong Gaohong, the largest energy-saving lamp manufacturer in Hangzhou, said that since last year, the company has started to develop LED-related products. The first batch of finished products will be available in May and June of this year; Sunshine Lighting (600261, stocks it) as current The largest energy-saving lamp manufacturer in Asia, the domestic market share of energy-saving lamps is 15%. Facing the fiery development of the LED lighting industry, the company is also trying to transform. Last year, the sales of LED products reached about 700 million yuan, an increase of 7 times year-on-year; the LED industry of Hongyan Electronics after the transformation also achieved a breakthrough. Last year, sales increased by about 5 times year-on-year.

Weng Maoyuan introduced that at present there are more than 500 lighting companies in Zhejiang and over 20% of them are already involved in the LED industry. Last year LED lighting industry realized sales revenue of nearly 10 billion yuan. It is estimated that by the end of the 12th five-year plan, the LED output value of the province will increase to 40 billion yuan. Yuan, accounting for about 40% of the lighting industry's market share.

It is expected that a series of specific protection measures and encouragement policies will be proposed in the "LED Products" for LED products with ever-decreasing prices, including the gradual expansion of the financial subsidies promotion efforts, and the timely inclusion of LED lighting products with a large number of bulb lights and mature technologies. Subsidy scope. Weng Maoyuan believes that financial subsidies will mainly focus on downstream applications. Through the subsidy to the downstream to increase the demand for LED, so as to guide the development of the upstream industry, "similar to the introduction of energy-saving lamps before the promotion plan, consumers buy a 9W-11W energy-saving lamps, the market reference price of more than 10 yuan, after financial subsidies Consumers can buy it for as little as four yuan."

Wang Micheng, president of Hongyan Electric, said that LED lamps consume only half the energy-saving lamps and their life expectancy is 4-5 times that of ordinary energy-saving lamps. If once the government subsidy is included and the price is lowered, the LED industry will surely usher in explosive growth. In fact, companies are also reducing costs through continuous technological innovation. At present, Hongyan Electric's LED lighting products are 40% lower in price than the previous generation and have been accepted by most mid- and high-end households.

Weng Maoyuan said that the development of the LED industry in Zhejiang still needs the further support of the local government. In addition to the subsidy policies for terminal consumption, it is also recommended to uniformly apply LED products to public lighting areas such as roads, shopping malls, railway stations, airports, office buildings and other public places. At present, the provincial quality supervision bureau is starting to formulate local standards for LED construction and acceptance standards, which will promote the use of LED lamps in road construction. The local standard is expected to be formally introduced by the end of the year.
