Energy Saving Field Of Light Industry War
Jun 29, 2022
For now, CFLS seem to have the edge.
His reasoning is that after decades of development, energy-saving lamps have matured and stabilized in terms of cost, technology and performance. "There is little room for cost reduction and performance has reached its limit, unless raw material prices affect it." Qi said.
The current cost of a CFLS is less than $1, while LED lighting is around $4. Such a gap means that CFLS will continue to dominate the domestic market for energy-efficient lighting in the short term.
The bottom line of 70% market share stipulated in the policy is the biggest driving force. Hou yuxuan also believes that with the passing of the incandescent era, traditional efficient lighting products such as energy-saving lamps will see explosive growth.
But at the same time, due to a series of national policy support, the market is relatively optimistic about LED market expectations, LED step by step approaching the traditional energy-saving lighting, also LED to the closure of a number of traditional lighting enterprises in recent years. Therefore, LED quickly occupy the lighting market is more likely.
Zhao fanghua told the Newspaper that the implementation of the policy is also a key factor in deciding which energy-saving lamps and LEDS will have the last laugh.
"It is a question of whether the phase-out of incandescent bulbs can be carried out, whether it can be carried out properly and how fast it can be carried out." Zhao Fanghua said that if the switch is relatively fast, the short term may have a greater impact on energy-saving lamps, otherwise it is more conducive to LED.
That is because the price of CFLS is stabilising, while that of emerging leds is still falling. If leds are kept within twice the price of CFLS, then leds have every chance of replacing CFLS.
"It depends on how fast the cost of LEDS themselves comes down and whether they can compete with energy-saving lights." Zhao Fanghua told this newspaper.
