LED lights price is expected to improve permeability

Our data show that, instead of the traditional 60-watt incandescent bulb LED high bay light , the average retail price of a marked decline in December last year, the monthly average price fell by 16%, while the lowest price reached $ 18.9. In replacing the traditional 40-watt incandescent bulbs LED bulbs categories, manufacturers of the products the lowest market price of $ 11.1.
To replace 60-watt goods component, prices fell in December last year, the most obvious difference is that the Korean market, the U.S. market and the Japanese market. Among them, South Korea has also appeared in $ 18.9, the lowest price.
To replace 40-watt goods component, prices fell in December last year, the most obvious is still the Japanese market, is still the most competitive in Korea, the current lowest price of approximately $ 11.1.
Changes in the retail price of LED bulbs in larger or replace traditional 60 watt commodity parts. Since this a specification of goods in the market, accounting for the largest bulb, is relatively close to the main lighting source specifications, so each brand manufacturers are all active layout card position in the hope that the more commodity price advantage to expand the market.
In fact, the high price of LED high bay light penetration rate has been one of the reasons is not high. We believe that as the global LED upstream and midstream chip packaging stage overcapacity and fierce competition in downstream applications, LED bulb prices are decreasing.
2012 EU moratorium incandescent, China, the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries will gradually ban incandescent lamps. LED light bulb price decline will promote LED lighting across the globe to accelerate applications and enhance the size of the LED market, the whole industry chain of the LED listed companies will constitute a positive.
Investment advice: stocks, we recommend the upstream three safety optoelectronics, Silan; midstream Ruifeng power, Hongli Opto-electronic; downstream Chau Ming Technology, Kingsun so on. (Warburg Securities)
Beware become a new source of pollution to promote energy-saving lamps LED lights also required environmental
As a substitute for incandescent lamps, energy saving lamps can not only saving for residents, while energy consumption by reducing thermal power plants to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, has multiple purposes.
However, behind all the benefits, energy-saving lamps in the phase-out and update the environmental pressures, but few people are concerned. Recently, some experts have called on the government to promote energy-saving lamps at the same time, it must be done in the environmental handling "one step ahead" to avoid energy-saving lamps become a new source of pollution.
Hidden behind a large saving in the general consciousness, energy-saving lamps is often environmentally friendly, power-saving synonymous. However, very few people would know that if once in large scale, while they did not get enough attention on post-processing, then the already fragile ecological environment, energy-saving lamps is likely to be another huge sources of pollution. And all this is entirely because of energy-saving lamps contained an ingredient: mercury.
Department learned from the lighting industry, is currently limited by the manufacturing process, energy-saving lighting products will inevitably be a bit of mercury, that is, we called mercury ingredients. Despite a general energy-saving lamps are usually only 0.5 milligrams of mercury, but that this small amount of mercury, pollute the environment, "power" is staggering - 1 milligram of mercury into the ground, about 360 tons of water can cause pollution, thus calculated, an energy-saving LED high bay light,  such as improper disposal of waste, may eventually contaminate 90 tons to 180 tons of water and the surrounding soil.
According to the environmental protection departments of the responsible person, at present in the same time to promote energy-saving lamps, energy-saving lamps for waste treatment, but rarely get attention and publicity. For many people waste energy-saving lamps, often the same as ordinary household waste, fling trouble. Conceivable in which mercury enters the soil being, over time, will soon become the new "environmental killer."
Overseas experience to draw
Since the energy-saving lamps may cause such a huge environmental problems, then we should abandon the use of energy-saving lamps? The answer is clearly no. From a technical and management two ways, we are not hard to find ways to make energy-saving lamps in energy while minimizing environmental pollution effective way.

Experts, in Western countries, for energy-saving lamp recycling work very seriously and has a corresponding norms. U.S. Environmental Protection Law requires waste to the original owner of responsibility for their own waste in the end, which is fundamentally curb the arbitrary disposal phenomenon. There are seven states in the United States have legislation banning the conventional energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs directly on the garbage bag, while in the year specified period of time to deal with a specific energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs used to facilitate residents.
And our neighbor Japan, due to the narrow people, environmental pressures, it is a fluorescent lamp recycling has made the world's most comprehensive regulations. Apart from the government set up a special collection points, the Japanese people there are also a large number of energy-saving fluorescent light bulb recycling agency. In Hokkaido, waste battery recycling and disposal of fluorescent lamps, or even 93% is collected by non-governmental environmental organizations, while the remaining 7% by the manufacturer responsible for the collection. In Sweden and Germany and other European countries, too, through the marketing system recovery and community recycling two parallel channels to the recycling of waste energy-saving lamps.
Antifouling needed sources of corruption
Advanced experience from abroad, to control energy-saving lamps of mercury pollution, the source from the production chain must strengthen management, through the detection and assessment of the environmental protection department, the implementation of the production responsibility system and extend it through the government propaganda and corporate propaganda and other means , so that residents will be able to buy energy-saving lamps learned how to recycle waste energy-saving lamps and other considerations.
At the same time, the authorities should also increase investment in various communities and Lighting sales points wide collection points set up retirement saving lamps and energy-saving lamps to establish sentinel of waste recycling centers, and even can be appropriately used government subsidies "TM" methods to encourage residents to use the old lamp energy saving lamp exchange for a new, fundamentally prevent the spread of pollution sources to ensure energy saving lamps for residents, while environmental governance no longer a "time bomb."
