Recently, the price of three primary fluorescent powder with rare earth as the main raw material is even high, with the price of raw materials rising, the price of energy-saving lamps in each market is also rising. The personage inside course of study expresses, energy-saving lamp industry is facing grim challenge. However, the energy-saving lamp industry is in trouble, but unexpectedly opens a door for more energy-saving and environmentally friendly LED lamps.
Since March, rare earth prices rose 10 times, energy-saving lighting efficiency, energy saving, color rendering, and long life. Compared with ordinary incandescent lamp, energy-saving lamp can save electricity 60%-80%, and its service life is 4-6 times longer. The utility model relates to an energy-saving lamp, belonging to a fluorescent lamp, which achieves the purpose of light emission by stimulating the phosphor coating on the inner wall of the lamp tube by ultraviolet light, and the fluorescent powder applied on the tube wall occupies more than 75% of the proportion of the raw material. From April this year, rare earth prices skyrocketing.
"In March, or 280 yuan a kilogram, and now has risen to 2600 yuan a kilogram, the quality is even more expensive."." A person in charge said that this has seriously affected the development of energy-saving lamps industry. A 100W ordinary energy-saving lamp is priced at 28 yuan, the market brightness of incandescent lamp only need 1.5 yuan or 2 yuan, so some enterprises rely heavily on government subsidies.
It is reported that a CFL subsidy can reach the ex factory price of 50%. In addition, local governments will give certain financial subsidies in the promotion of energy-saving lamps. Under subsidies, the price of energy-saving lamps below 45W is equal to that of ordinary incandescent lamps. However, this balance has been broken by this round of price increases. LED lighting is expected to provoke energy conservation burden, the rise in raw material prices, so that energy-saving lamps seriously "internal injury", but inadvertently to the development of LED lamps to provide space.
"Making silicon for LED lamps is very common on earth. Making a LED chip requires the use of rare earths in micrograms, while the energy saving lamp takes several grams."." What's more, the price difference between the two is narrowing. To the most popular family of compact energy-saving lamps, for example, the previous price of more than ten yuan a, and now rose to more than 30 yuan, while the same power LED lamps before the price of about 80 yuan, recently dropped to 50 yuan. "In the face of 20 yuan difference, many people fancy LED lamps, more energy saving, controllable, mercury free advantages, will tend to buy LED lamps."." Li Shuzhi says.
LED is more energy saving and environmental friendly than energy-saving lamps, and the price may decrease by 20% in the future. It is an inevitable trend to use LED lamps instead of energy-saving lamps. Many manufacturers have switched from energy-saving lamps to LED industry. Energy-saving lamps small enterprises should take the initiative to adjust. Affected by this round of price increases, the biggest is the production of energy-saving lamps small enterprises.
It has been reported that many energy-saving lamps enterprises in Fujian and Zhejiang have closed down. Energy saving lamp industry is a labor-intensive industry. It has many problems, such as low level of technology, high cost and heavy pollution. Rare earth is also a valuable strategic resource of the country, and the price of raw materials remains high. Energy-saving lamps SMEs should take the initiative to adjust, and turn to develop a higher scientific and technological content, more environmentally friendly, more energy efficient, more promising LED lamps and other new energy-saving products, is a wise move.
