Nearly 50% Energy Saving Lamps Are Not Up To &Nbsp; PHILPS Thunder Is On The Blacklist.

The use of energy-saving lamps is expected to be more energy-efficient, but if the energy-saving lamps fail, it may not only save energy, but also cause harm to the public power grid, and even cause safety hazards and environmental problems.

Beijing City

Nearly 50% of energy saving lamps failed.

Let PHILPS ascend

Responding to the first financial daily, PHILPS's public relations officials said yesterday that the company's products will have a certain testing link before sampling. The company is conducting internal and external investigations and communication on the above events. "It may well be a product of a batch."

In addition, she said, "the data of different product indicators have certain range of qualification, and each enterprise is different."

In fact, not only is the result of the Beijing consumers' Association, but the Quality Supervision Bureau of Guangdong province has made a spot check on the LED street lamps produced by the enterprises in the province and the energy saving lamps such as self ballasted fluorescent lamps for ordinary lighting. The passing rate of the sampling batches of the products is only 56.1%. Among them, the LED street lamps and LED street lamps use the light source controller and the ordinary lighting self ballast fluorescent lamps (energy saving lamps) the lowest pass rate, and the intrinsic quality passing rate is only 44% and 43% respectively.

A lighting industry insider told reporters that many of PHILPS's lighting products were produced by joint-venture factories. "The unqualified situation detected by sampling is not very large compared with other miscellaneous brands, but there is definitely room for improvement in quality control and control."

Chen Yifei, the brand management center of NVC holding limited, responded that there are 3 grades of energy efficiency labeling, namely, I, II and III. The state stipulates that only energy-saving lamps that meet the level II energy efficiency standards can be sold in the market.

The Beijing Consumers Association has sampled 2 energy saving lamps, 1 are 5W grade I energy efficiency products, and the other is 5W class II energy efficiency products. The inspection results show that the 5W class II energy efficiency lamps reach the national technical requirements, while the 5W grade I energy efficiency marking lamps only reach the level II energy efficiency standard.

"This is because the consistency of the lamp in the manufacturing process is not well controlled, and it is a batch problem.

After the incident, the company has launched a self checking and self correcting measures within the company.

Chen Yifei said.

The above lighting industry said that, like PHILPS and NVC, the government subsidized highly efficient lighting products projects should be satisfied with many "harsh" quality conditions, such as mercury content, service life, energy saving certification, etc., and more attention should be paid to product management and control.

The person also said that since 2008, China has launched a financial subsidy to promote efficient lighting products, giving 50% and 30% subsidies to urban and rural residents and bulk users using energy-saving lamps, which has been subsidized by 360 million yuan in 2010.

The quality of energy-saving lamps will cause many hidden dangers.

A Chinese lighting society, who did not want to be named, said.

For example, harmonic index means harmful high frequency harmonic currents generated by the circuit during operation. These high-frequency harmonic currents will cause harm to other electrical equipment and the grid itself through the public power grid.

Too much harmonic current will cause the equipment to generate heat and loss, shorten the service life and even burn down.

The product, which accounts for 20.75% of the total samples, does not meet the national standard requirements, including spark 18W energy saving lamp, CIDA brand 9W energy saving lamp, comin brand 9W and 15W energy saving lamp.

Barriers to entry are low and industry is mixed up.

Liu Shengping, vice director and Secretary General of the China Lighting Electrical Association, said: "the 50% unqualified rate is also possible that the samples selected by the monitoring organizations are not universal enough." according to her understanding, the samples taken from the inspection are partly from the building materials market and small supermarket chains.

Just like the clothes purchased in the market, the rejection rate of clothes is definitely lower than that of the grocery stores. The proper energy saving lamps in the regular lamps and lanterns, and the qualified rate of the energy-saving lamps in the 20 subsidized enterprises are also higher than those of the cheap and cheap energy saving enterprises.

Although China's energy saving lamp market accounts for about 90% of the total number of small businesses, the market share of large enterprises is even larger.

But Liu Shengping also said: "in terms of regulation and corporate self-regulation, the market of energy saving lamps really needs to be rectified."

Because of the pformation of incandescent lamps to energy-saving lamps in recent two years, many enterprises are biting this business opportunity.

She told reporters that there are tens of thousands of energy-saving lamp manufacturers in the industry. There are some small businesses and small workshops who are indifferent to quality. People are more sensitive to the price of energy-saving lamps, so some enterprises are using low quality and poor quality components to lower costs.

For some energy saving lamps, the phenomenon is bad for a long time. Mr. Zhang, an energy saving lamp manufacturer in Shenzhen, told reporters: "one is not good material, the other is the technology level is not in place."

He said that the products of energy-saving lamps are not mandatory national certification products, and the market entry threshold is relatively low in the industry, which makes the energy saving lamp producers in the domestic market mixed up, and the quality of products is uneven.

The reporter saw on the Internet that an advertisement produced by an environmental technology company in Beijing said, "to invest in an energy-saving lamp factory is only 48 thousand yuan."

It is not only the problem of quality itself, but also the mercury in the energy saving lamp industry, which may cause serious damage to the environment.

An ordinary energy-saving lamp contains an average of 0.5 milligrams of mercury, while 1 mg of mercury penetrates into the ground will cause pollution of about 360 tons of water.

Some small and medium-sized enterprises often fail to deal with environmental problems well. Under the banner of "energy conservation", they often resort to polluting the environment.

Mr. Zhang told reporters that some miscellaneous enterprises lack the relevant technical capability of product production, and the final quality control of the products is not enough. Some key components such as electronic components, lampholder and lamp tubes are purchased by outsourcing, and the enterprises themselves lack corresponding control capability, so that the final quality of the products can not be effectively guaranteed.
