Fuzhou household LED price is high and it is difficult to popularize

Nowadays, low-carbon and energy-saving lamps are popular. However, the reporter was informed yesterday that as a "new star" for home lighting, LED (semiconductor lighting) lamps produced by Fuzhou enterprises are more energy efficient than ordinary energy-saving lamps, but the high price has blocked the pace of entering the family.

The advantages of household LED are obvious

Speaking of LEDs, people first think of electronic displays used in large public places, or large lamps used in various scenic spots in Fuzhou. In fact, Fuzhou companies have developed a number of LED lamps suitable for home use.

Yesterday morning, the reporter saw many large-scale LED lighting companies in Fuzhou, and all kinds of household LED lighting fixtures have been developed. These lamps cover all kinds of household lamps, which not only save electricity, but also are very beautiful and have a good decorative effect.

The technicians of these LED companies told reporters that compared with traditional light sources, household LED lamps consume only about 6% of conventional bulbs, and save 50% more energy than fluorescent energy-saving lamps. LED light sources have a long life and can be used for 25,000 hours. The brightness after the light decay can still achieve the light effect of the traditional new lamp. In addition, because household LED lamps have no stroboscopic, no radiation, lead-free, and mercury-free, they are not only beneficial to human health, but also have a good environmental protection effect. For example, a technician said that in his large living room of more than 40 square meters, only 8盏5W LED lights were installed, which made the whole house transparent. It can be said that in the context of the current increasing pressure on energy conservation and emission reduction, the selection of LED lamps with energy-saving efficiency exceeding 90% is a major choice for reducing energy consumption.

High prices are difficult to popularize

However, the reporter was informed in the interview that at present, in the Yucheng market, no matter whether it is a large home improvement store or a building materials market, there is no merchant to sell household LED lamps in batches. The public wants to buy, can only buy in a few lighting stores, and there is not much room for choice.

Merchants said that the current high-quality LED home lighting and decorative lighting in the local market, the price is about 10 times that of ordinary lamps, which is difficult for many citizens to accept. The cheapest LED lamp on the market, the nominal power of 0.9W (equivalent to 25W incandescent lamp), the price is also 30 yuan, the price is 6 times the same brightness incandescent lamp, twice the ordinary energy-saving lamp. The price of LED desk lamps is often as high as 8,000 yuan, and the price of imported brands is thousands of dollars, which is 10 times the price of ordinary lamps.

Mr. Zhang, a lighting store owner near the Southern Building Materials Market, said that in addition to high price-impact sales, the LED market is also mixed. The price of poor LED energy-saving lamps may be similar to that of ordinary energy-saving lamps, but the service life is greatly reduced.

In this case, the Fujian Provincial Science and Technology Department told reporters that there are very few enterprises in China that focus on household LEDs. The main reason is that the current market recognition is not high, and the public awareness of use has not changed. Therefore, LED companies are currently focusing on the commercial lighting market. As the first batch of 21 “Ten Cities and Ten Thousand Cities” pilot cities and advanced cities in the country's LED industry development, Fuzhou currently has high-end recognition and acceptance of LED lighting in some high-end clubs such as star-rated hotels and business clubs. The scale is gradually expanding. In addition, with the advancement of technology and the expansion of the market, the cost of LED lamps is expected to drop by about 20% per year. It is expected that in the next two or three years, the urban residents will be able to use cheap LED lights at home.
