Compared with traditional lighting, low efficiency, power consumption and more energy-saving lamp as the light efficiency, color rendering, long life and so increasingly by consumers, governments have also been promoting. In China, energy-saving lamps after nearly three years of promotion, have a big households. However, energy is not energy saving lamps in the end? Not long ago, Beijing Consumers Association, a market test of eye-popping: energy saving lamp failure rate actually nearly 50%. Among them, the board "Heibang" not only the well-known international brands Philips, as well as the domestic industry giants NVC [3.80 -0.78%]. Energy-saving lamps exactly how you? Energy saving lamp why not get out of the predicament? This reporter conducted a thorough investigation.

Test report: confusion in the market is not a secret energy-saving lamps

"For a long time, China's energy-saving lamp industry is fragmented and messy situation. Intensive and large-scale production of the low level of confusion in the market early is not a secret." China Association of Lighting Liu Sheng-ping, vice chairman and secretary general told reporters that the current industry There are tens of thousands of businesses, which account for 10% of large enterprises, small and medium enterprises account for about 90%.

National standards, the actual consumption of power energy-saving lamps with rated power of the poor shall not exceed 15%. Beijing Consumer Association tests showed that 72.17% of the energy-saving light power measured values ​​are not express the value of enterprise products, including even some well-known brands products. Such as reported, to board the "Heibang" Philips lighting products is its a 5-watt energy-saving lamps, test results show, in fact, measure the power out of 6 watts. This means that this called "energy-saving light" products, not only not saving, but also special power. Some branding and even the difference between the actual power nearly doubled.

For those on the market 10 times more expensive than ordinary lights energy-saving lamps, is disappointing. Reporters from the Beijing Consumers Association published "53 kinds of energy-saving lamps more test results," the report that the 13 samples of the initial luminous efficiency far in line with national standards, the total number of samples of 24.53%. Which "nvc NVC brand 5-watt energy-saving lamps" impressively in the blacklist. It is reported that the initial energy-saving lamp light effect is reflected in an important indicator of energy saving products.

The end of April, NVC Lighting announced the issue recall 824,000 energy-saving lamps, which is on a blacklist. The company's director of brand management center Shi Yongjun explained that this batch of products, though still in line with energy saving certification standards, but the lamp in the manufacturing process consistency is not good control, failed to meet the design of an energy efficiency requirements, are batch sex differences.
Bid for three consecutive years of "national project to promote efficient lighting products," Philips Lighting has similar problems. April 26, the public relations manager Huzheng Hong said the company is conducting an internal self-inspection and inventory, for the October 2010 high power until there are batch-related products, has begun to withdraw.

For energy-saving lamps marked inconsistent with the phenomenon of power, an energy-efficient appliances company Zhongshan Zhang said: "On the one hand is the line in the unstable quality electronic components, design parameters unreasonable; the other hand, did not do a good job of production control, product factory and there is no test. "Illuminating Engineering Society of China Mr. Wen told reporters," energy-saving lamps of relatively high technical requirements, many companies cut corners to save cost. "

Market situation: low-priced market is flooded with inferior

"2U, 2.15 ; 3U, 3.0 million; Spiral 3.3 yuan; full spiral 3.5 yuan." This is an energy-saving lamp manufacturer Zhongshan quoted price.

"Regular high-quality energy-saving lamps manufacturers thirty-five yuan did not come out of production." Zhang said Zhongshan Electric energy, in order to drive down costs, many small businesses have long been out of the brine mixture of powder or powder instead of sharp price increases in recent years, rare earth three-color phosphor, the cost savings of 0.5 yuan to 1 yuan. In addition, energy-saving lamp flame-point is the temperature, but many manufacturers do not use flame-retardant plastic parts, a light can also save the cost of 0.5 yuan to 1 yuan, and some energy-saving lamps with fuses are province altogether, and even outside bile lime materials, electronic components, are likely to use different things to drive down the cost of quality.

Zhang said that at present, there are some well-known big fake small workshop, these products are usually inferior parts put together a low-quality products, to seize the market by low prices, the average consumer is difficult to tell the difference.

The sources, energy-saving lamps in China last year exported products in the 3.5 billion, of which South East Asia and the Middle East market accounted for about one-third. And sold in Southeast Asia and Middle East markets in energy-saving lamps, halogen many pink lights, "This year is likely to increase this ratio."

Secretary General of Guangdong Province, lighting repair, said Guo, Zhongshan, Guangdong, energy-saving lamps energy-saving lamps manufacturers have occupied the domestic market, 50% of these weapons manufacturers to win market competition is low, and low-cost energy-saving halogen lamps powder product is light, " The Zhongshan factory and even the industry known as 'junk factory'. "

"Consumers in the purchase, which is difficult to identify energy-saving lamps are halogen lamps powder In general, energy saving halogen light pink only three-color phosphor about 50% of energy-saving lamps." The sun lighting [19.74 3.08% Share it] executives said, "Even worse is, the halogen lamp life than pink tricolor energy-saving lamps to about 30% shorter."

Line of reflection: non-existent national standards and certification

Guangdong energy industry, who declined to be named, said authorities, mixed brand problems is not surprising, but also the quality of brand-name does illustrate a serious problem in this market. He argued that small and medium market is flooded with cheap products, the brand manufacturers in the international energy-saving lamps to develop the Chinese market has also encountered a lot of pressure. A number of international brand manufacturers own brand simply rented to domestic manufacturers, OEM manufacturers from domestic production, shipments, and these big companies to control quality, and sometimes not so handy, so I will have problems.

For example, he said, Philips has taken major domestic OEM production. "Many of the OEM manufacturers with imperfect failure detection system makes the ultimate energy-saving lamps to name 'Philips' brand into people's homes."

"Philips to find the foundry business, not all of them have strengths, and can not guarantee the quality of products." Philips, who has done a small amount of OEM business in Guangdong, Snow Wright [10.04 4.37% of the shares it] Lighting Company Vice Minister Wei Zhi market power, told reporters.

However, industry insiders think that, now a worldwide brand products are mostly from the foundry business, very strict acceptance criteria, the requirements of the OEM business is also relatively high, so the product quality problem is not many. However, in recent years in China, due to rapidly rising costs squeeze profit margins brought about, making the business of Philips and its OEM relationship between the more and more subtle. In order to ensure their profits do not decline, has been on the strict quality requirements Philips also had free rein.

As a pre-market energy-saving lamps --- the last one pass national product standards and certification, in Guangdong Province Lighting Association, Guo Xiu eyes almost "useless." "In order to certification and certification authorities only charge testing fees, ongoing management, monitoring can not keep up, the annual inspection is going through the motions."

Stones from other hills

LED industry is currently the biggest problem, is to a mature industry, the products to market. Japan's energy-saving lamps failure rate was only 300 parts per million, and domestic, the failure rate of 60% -80%. How immature can push products to the market? Fortunately, energy-saving lamps, rather than the car, if a car, then how many people die.
