Lighting expert Gan Ziguang talks about the green lighting market (Figure)


At present, the Chinese lighting market consumes 3 billion incandescent bulbs every year. Although discarded incandescent bulbs do not produce environmentally harmful substances such as mercury, the country consumes 400 million tons of fuel or coal per year to light these bulbs. This is a huge energy consumption that will have a very bad impact on the environment - petrochemical fuel production once produced 1,100 grams of carbon dioxide, 9 grams of sulfur dioxide and 4.4 grams of nitrogen oxides. If an energy-saving lamp is used instead of an ordinary incandescent light bulb, each time an energy-saving lamp is ignited, the earth is saved by 100 kilograms of fuel or 125 kilograms of coal, and a large amount of dust suspension is reduced.

As a result, fluorescent or energy-saving lamps with energy-saving concepts have begun to dominate the lighting market. However, the fact that China replaces more than 400 million fluorescent tubes and energy-saving lamps every year brings more than 80 tons of mercury to the environment every year. This is a huge pollution bomb - it is said that 1 gram of mercury is enough to kill or deform fish and creatures in a small lake.

National promotion

For the above reasons, green lighting activities that have been energy-saving and environmentally friendly have begun to rise around the world in recent years. In 1996, the “China Green Lighting Project Office” and the expert group were established, and the “China Green Lighting Project Implementation Plan” was issued. In 2000, the China Green Lighting Project Office proposed the “Big Procurement Demonstration Activity” of China Green Lighting Project. Green lighting products are required to be used in bulk procurement activities. There is reason to believe that this will bring a broad market environment for China's green lighting products.

Mr. Gan Ziguang, Honorary Chairman of the China Lighting Society, pointed out that “green lighting refers to the adoption of scientific lighting design, using high-efficiency, long-life, safe and stable lighting electrical products, and ultimately built into environmental protection, high efficiency, comfort, safety, economy and A lighting system that is good for the environment and improves people's work, study and quality of life." Since 1990, the growth rate of daily electricity consumption of urban and rural residents in China has exceeded 15%. At present, China's lighting power consumption will reach about 11% of the country's total electricity consumption. "Green lighting project" is to achieve the purpose of saving energy and protecting the environment by adopting reasonable lighting design. For example, in China, 300 million fluorescent lamps and other high-efficiency lighting products will be promoted throughout the year, which will form a terminal energy saving capacity of 22 billion kWh, which can reduce the peak load of the grid by 7.2 million kilowatts, equivalent to the construction of a power station with an installed capacity of 9.78 million kilowatts. The saving of electricity construction funds is 49-63 billion yuan, which can reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by 750,000 tons and carbon dioxide emissions by 27 million tons.

It is precisely because of this that the relevant departments have begun to vigorously promote and promote green lighting projects: on the one hand, the promotion of energy-efficient electric light sources, namely the use of halogen lamps, compact fluorescent lamps, straight tube fluorescent lamps instead of incandescent lamps, and continuous straight tube Fluorescent lamps are upgraded, and the application of high-pressure sodium lamps and halides and low-pressure sodium lamps is promoted. On the other hand, the use of energy-efficient lamp electrical accessories is advocated, such as electronic ballasts and various lighting energy-saving control devices or devices. .
