Energy-saving lamps not only save electricity but also save money
The China Consumers Association recently released a report saying that the energy-saving lighting sales in China are low in maintenance rate and short in life, showing the status quo of “saving electricity and not saving moneyâ€. According to national standards, the life of energy-saving lamps should reach more than 6000 hours, and the maintenance rate of 2000 hours of light should not be lower than 80%. In the sample of this comparative trial, only the samples of 8 brands had better 2000-hour lumen maintenance. There are 6 test lights of 3 brands that are not even fully 2,000 hours. The 2000 hour lumen maintenance rate for both brand samples was less than 80%, with only one sample being 70%.
Originally, I wanted to save energy and protect the environment through the promotion and use of energy-saving lamps. However, because of the quality problems of energy-saving lamps, the shortevity was short-lived, which led to unexpected results of “saving electricity and not saving moneyâ€. “Power saving without saving money†is a new problem that arises in the process of energy saving. It must be paid attention to by us and should be improved through technical means to solve the problem of “saving electricity and not saving moneyâ€.
What is an energy saving lamp? It is through technical means to improve the utilization of electric energy, convert low-energy into efficient lighting effects, and exert greater benefits to achieve energy conservation. Promoting high-efficiency energy-saving lamps and replacing incandescent lamps and other inefficient lighting sources is an internationally common practice for energy conservation and environmental protection. At present, energy-saving lamps in some developed countries account for 80-90% of lighting sources.
In China, the electricity consumption of lighting accounts for about 10% of the total power generation. Among them, low-efficiency lighting is the main factor. The problem of high power consumption is quite serious. When it causes household waste, it also becomes a low economic benefit and polluting environment. An important factor. Promote lighting energy-saving lamps to create a high-quality, efficient, economical and environmentally friendly lighting environment that not only improves people's quality of life, but also is an important technical means to save energy. However, the current promotion and use of energy-saving lamps in China is not satisfactory. The reason is that although it is related to the backward consumption concept of the Chinese people, the most important factor is probably that the life of energy-saving lamps is too short. Due to the quality problems of energy-saving lamps, although they are energy-saving, they are not “saving moneyâ€. The use of energy-saving lamps has caused another waste of economy and energy, which is probably what people never thought of!
At present, China's energy-saving lamps market is relatively chaotic, product quality is uneven, counterfeit and shoddy products flood the market, so that the reputation of energy-saving products is wiped out. Although the energy-saving lamps save energy, but because of the quality defects, their own service life is short, which increases the use expenses of the products. Compared with the saved energy, it pays more funds and has a negative effect. “Power saving without saving money†makes consumers discouraged from energy-saving products. “Power saving without saving money†is a stumbling block for the promotion of energy-saving products. It is a roadblock for saving energy. It is a “side effect†caused by the application of energy-saving products, which violates the original intention of saving energy and protecting the environment. The “short life†of energy-saving lamps increases the frequency of replacement of energy-saving lamps and reduces energy-saving effects. The money paid by users for purchasing energy-saving lamps even exceeds the value of energy saved by using energy-saving lamps, and there is an “economic downside†phenomenon. This “saving electricity and not saving money†has affected the promotion and use of energy-saving products. Let the energy conservation effect advocated by the country be greatly reduced.
The use of energy-saving lamps was originally intended to save money, but because of the quality problems of the energy-saving lamps themselves, the saving behavior became a wasteful act. The emergence of such an embarrassing situation should cause us to reflect and should attract the attention of relevant enterprises. We cannot let energy-saving lamps become "money-sucking lamps." We must know that "saving electricity and not saving money" is also a serious waste. Energy-saving product enterprises must assume social responsibilities, improve their sense of responsibility, and put product quality up to reduce energy waste. Only by improving the quality of energy-saving products can we achieve the effect of energy conservation, and truly save economy and save energy, so as to protect the environment. This is the embodiment of building a conservation-oriented society.
