“Who can seize the energy-saving, whoever has occupied the commanding heights of the industry reshuffle?†Information from the lighting industry shows that the energy-saving appeal in 2005 has become the trend of the industry. Domestic mainstream lighting companies represented by Sanxiong and Aurora Lighting have launched a storm on energy-saving technologies. Among them, the development of T5 energy-saving lamps and the development of ballast technology have become the "concentration point" of firepower.
"This is likely to be the trigger for the industry to reshuffle." According to the data, China has become the world's second largest power consumer after the United States. With the “electricity shortage†crisis in recent years, energy conservation has become the dominant domestic lighting consumption. Driven by the national new energy efficiency standards, more and more lighting companies are crammed into the road to energy conservation.
Experts believe that a technical competition on energy conservation will be inevitable, and some professional lighting companies with strong technology and strong brands will stand out. Conversely, those brands and SMEs that are not standardized and have simple technology may shrink in competition and gradually fade out of the lighting market. After this reshuffle, the brand will be further concentrated, and the day when the lighting industry enters a virtuous circle is not far off.
Energy saving: the only way for the lighting industry?
"Energy-saving technology has become a weapon for lighting companies to consolidate their leading position, and has become a potential 'fire type' for the new round of industry reshuffle." The relevant experts of China Lighting Association pointed out that the lighting industry is a sunrise industry. In 2005, energy-saving lighting products It will become the protagonist of the development of the lighting market, and it is also the only way for all lighting companies to develop. This is an opportunity and a challenge for enterprises.
According to the China Lighting Association, China is a major producer of energy-saving lamps. At present, there are hundreds of manufacturers of energy-saving lamps in China. Since 1996, the domestic production of energy-saving lamps has grown at an average rate of 30% per year. The total output in 2000 has reached 450 million. It is predicted that in 2005, the demand for energy-saving lamps will exceed 600 million. In recent years, the severe “electricity shortage†crisis has given the government a high degree of attention to environmental protection and energy conservation in the design and construction of lighting.
According to the survey data, the energy-saving lamp is the abbreviation of three-color high-efficiency energy-saving fluorescent lamp, which is known as the third-generation light source and represents the development direction of the illumination source in the 21st century. It is mainly composed of two parts: three primary color high luminous efficiency, high color rendering performance fluorescent tube and high frequency, high lumen coefficient electronic ballast (transformation frequency above 40KHz). Incandescent lamps have a thermal efficiency of only 6%, fluorescent lamps 13%, while energy-saving lamps are 80% more energy efficient than incandescent lamps, and 25-30% less than straight-tube fluorescent lamps; energy-saving lighting effects produce 50-60 lumens per watt of power (LM) Luminous flux, incandescent lamp is only 10 lumens; incandescent lamp national standard life is 1000 hours, energy-saving lamps are up to 6000 hours. Taking an average of 9 watts of energy-saving lamps as an example, each lamp invests 12.8 yuan, and the annual electricity saving fee is 33.48 yuan, and the return-to-return ratio is 1:2.6.
At present, the industry urgently needs the rise of a strong brand to lead and enhance the world status of China's lighting industry with the advanced nature of its energy-saving technology. The data shows that the demand for China's lighting market has reached 60 million units in 2004, ranking among the best in the world. The broad market prospects of China's lighting industry have enabled TCL, Haier and other large domestic enterprises that are about to enter the lighting industry to take full advantage of their own advantages to seize the market share of lighting. CE, Philips and other foreign lighting brands are also constantly occupying the "site" of the Chinese lighting market. Up to now, there are more than ten professional lighting companies with annual sales of over 600 million yuan in China, and many enterprises are rapidly moving towards group and scale. The professional lighting brand that Sanxiong Aurora and other pioneers have grown up can be imagined on the shoulders.
2005 environmental protection and energy-saving lighting products will be further popularized, and market demand will also increase significantly. 2006 is the anti-dumping sunset review period for EU energy-saving lamps in China. If the three famous European lighting giants do not raise objections, this is a very good strategic opportunity for China's lighting industry. Previously, it will be domestic energy-saving lamps. Manufacturers accelerate the development of brand opportunities.
T5: "Pioneer" of energy-saving lighting
According to relevant sources, high-efficiency, energy-saving, safe and stable T5 lighting products are like pioneers in the energy-saving industry. Only by first popularizing them and breaking through the “popular bottleneck†can we effectively promote the development of energy-saving industries and contribute to environmental protection. According to the reporter, as early as 2003, Sanxiong • Aurora launched a full range of energy-efficient T5 lighting products to meet the needs of energy-saving lighting products in different places. In addition to the technology-leading T5 electronic ballast, T5 high-efficiency fluorescent tubes and T5 colorful fluorescent tubes are also introduced.
Since 2001, China's energy-saving lamp industry is in full swing. The supply of rare earth trichromatic phosphors is in short supply, and the production and sales of energy-saving lamps are flat. According to experts from the China Lighting Association, from the day when the fluorescent lamp, the representative product of energy-saving lighting, was born, people have not stopped pursuing the goal of improving efficiency and reducing the size. Until recently, with the development of industry technology, breaking through the bottleneck of materials and processes, the mature T5 series products have finally entered the field of economical and practical high-efficiency lighting. From T12, T10 to T8, to T5, human pursuit of energy saving and thin pipe diameter has not stopped.
At present, the output of domestic energy-saving lamps accounts for one-third of the world's similar products, of which exports account for 80%. Since entering the EU market, China's energy-saving lamps accounted for 42% of the EU market share. It can be said that energy-saving lamps have great potential in the international market. Broad development space. Among them, T5 products with mature technology, excellent quality and high efficiency and energy saving represent the future trend of the lighting industry.
Sanxiong • Aurora has the industry's unique lighting T5 emergency components, T5 emergency lighting, large amount of radiation per unit area, and the lamp has a higher surface brightness. The consumption of phosphors, glass, and especially mercury is greatly reduced, and environmental protection, practicality, and aesthetics are integrated. “Since the use of T5 energy-saving products for half a year, it has saved more than 400,000 yuan for electricity costs for hotels.†According to a five-star hotel using T5 products, T5 products have good light efficiency, wide voltage application range and stable operation. What makes us worry the most is that the number of replacement is very small, the maintenance is convenient, the maintenance cost is very low, and the supporting facilities are perfect, the T5 products will be widely used.
Industry experts believe that the design of energy-saving lighting products will be the most concerned issue for lighting companies in 2005. Most lighting companies realize that to achieve high efficiency and energy saving of lighting products, energy-saving light sources should be used first, which is the premise of promoting high-efficiency energy-saving lighting products. Secondly, optical systems of lighting products are carefully designed according to the size and shape of energy-saving light sources, and lighting products are improved. Effective utilization and decorative effects.
Ballast: "Technical Life Gate" for Energy Saving Lighting
Ballasts are well known as the core components in lighting products. In order to standardize the Chinese ballast market and improve the energy efficiency and market competitiveness of fluorescent lamp ballasts, the China Standards Research Center has organized the national standard for energy efficiency limit values ​​and energy conservation evaluation values ​​of tubular fluorescent lamp ballasts (referred to as energy efficiency countries). standard). The standard specifies the parameters for assessing the energy efficiency level of the ballast and the lamp, ie the energy efficiency factor, with emphasis on the energy efficiency limits and energy efficiency evaluation values ​​of the ballast. This standard has become the "technical life" of energy-saving lighting products.
"Electronic ballasts are rapidly evolving toward integration, modularity, versatility, high reliability, long life and high power." According to experts, T5 series electronic ballasts have low power consumption, low heat generation, and energy efficiency factors are higher than national energy-saving standards, which can truly achieve environmentally friendly and energy-saving effects.
