The embarrassing situation of “尴尬†energy-saving lamps infiltrating the market
As a development issue at the national strategic level, it is also related to the general public, and it is inseparable from the broad participation of the public. "Energy saving and emission reduction" is a topic of concern to the public recently. But unfortunately, after interviewing energy-saving home appliances, water-saving appliances and other products and markets related to energy conservation and rational consumption, the reporter felt that the concept of life and consumption of ordinary citizens did not seem to have a positive response. Reducing waste in life and eliminating extravagant behaviors, forming behavioral concepts and social trends that advocate frugality and rational consumption, and a green lifestyle under the premise of pursuing higher quality of life seems to be far from the daily life of ordinary citizens.
节能Energy saving lamp
On August 21st, the reporter found in the interview of Longma City, the most concentrated lighting store in Lanzhou, that most of the bulbs and lamps on the counters were covered with energy-saving lamps, and some non-energy-saving incandescent lamps were placed in the corner. Several merchants interviewed said that energy-saving lamps are now their main sales variety, and the sales of incandescent lamps are decreasing.
But what the reporter observed in the interview is not the case. The customers who buy the bulbs are more likely to choose incandescent lamps. The reporter asked a few customers, their answer is very straightforward: how much electricity can save energy, they do not know, but it is clear that the price of energy-saving lamps is much higher than incandescent lamps. "A light bulb is only a dollar. An energy-saving lamp costs one or twenty dollars. It saves money but does not save light bulbs. There are hundreds of energy-saving lamps on the market. The quality is mixed. I bought it last year. Inferior goods were scrapped in two months, and it was not as good as light bulbs." Ms. Liu, who lives in the railway bureau, told reporters that she had just bought two rows of light bulbs.
Why do customers buy more incandescent lamps, and merchants say that energy-saving lamps sell better? The owner of Jiangnan Lighting told the reporter the answer: "The cost of selling an energy-saving lamp is ten times that of an incandescent lamp. Which one is more cost-effective to sell? The sales of incandescent lamps are large, but the sales volume is not as large as the energy-saving lamps. Everyone introduces energy-saving lamps to customers. However, in fact, it is more cost-effective to use energy-saving lamps.
The reporter briefly calculated the cost comparison between the use of incandescent lamps and energy-saving lamps, and felt that it was more economical to use energy-saving lamps. Lighting with 60 watts of incandescent light for 5 hours a day: If the electricity cost is 0.51 yuan per year, when the electricity is 110 degrees for the whole year, the electricity cost is 56.10 yuan, plus the 2.00 yuan used for the bad two bulbs. The annual cost is 58.10 yuan. The use of high-quality energy-saving lamps, only a 11-watt bulb, the annual electricity consumption is only 20 degrees, the electricity bill is 10.20 yuan, plus an energy-saving lamp price of 15 yuan, the annual cost is only 25.20 yuan. In comparison, an energy-saving lamp saves 32.90 yuan than an incandescent lamp. If the life of a qualified energy-saving lamp is more than 4 times that of an ordinary incandescent lamp, the cost-effectiveness of the energy-saving lamp is indeed higher than that of an incandescent lamp. It seems that many consumers are not clear about the accounts.
However, the merchants also told reporters that another consumer did not accept the energy-saving lamps. A boss who specializes in lighting on the second floor of Longma Market told reporters: "The lamps sold on the market are mainly used with incandescent lamps. Although energy-saving lamps can also be used, energy-saving lamps are cold-tone light sources, not as warm-colored incandescent lamps. Coordinating with the coordination.†A customer who is selecting lamps also told reporters: “The incandescent lights look warmer and more harmonious with the decoration of the home. Therefore, the main lighting fixtures in the house still use incandescent lamps, just in the bathroom. Energy-saving lamps are used in kitchens, balconies, etc."
Energy-saving appliances that save money
Saving electricity and saving money is definitely an energy-saving lamp better than incandescent lamps, but in actual consumption, incandescent lamps still account for the bulk. In fact, this embarrassing situation is also reflected in energy-saving appliances, water heaters and other products.
On the 21st, the reporter conducted an investigation and interview at an electrical appliance store near Nanguan. It was found that energy-saving indicators are not the main considerations for consumers to purchase, and the high price is a major obstacle to the difficulty of popularizing energy-saving products. In the appliance store, “low energy consumption†and “energy saving†can be seen everywhere. The “China Energy Efficiency Mark†and the energy efficiency national standard classification can be seen on almost all the products in the store. But in reality, customers don't care about these promotions.
The reporter interviewed a customer who purchased a washing machine and asked her if she considered energy-saving indicators. The customer told reporters that she did not consider the issue of energy saving. When asked about product selection, she said that of course it is the best quality and cheap, as for these high-priced products that save water and electricity, she never considered. According to the store salesperson, the quality of energy-saving appliances is good, the function is environmentally friendly, but the price is high. Most consumers value the price of products when purchasing products. In the process of purchasing, consumers mainly decide to purchase varieties according to their own economic conditions.
Air-conditioning is a "large electricity user" and the highest-energy-saving flag. But the business staff of the store told reporters that the sales of energy-saving products are not as good as ordinary products. The main reason is the price. The energy-saving air conditioner has a large difference from the traditional air conditioner price. The hanging air conditioner has a difference of about 1,000 yuan, while the cabinet type is as high as 2,000 yuan. A salesperson bluntly said in an interview that the better the energy saving effect, the greater the cost increase, there are some energy-efficient air-conditioning products on the market, the price is as high as seven or eight thousand yuan, which is equivalent to the consumer paying the electricity fee in advance, of course, the customer Hard to accept.
In an interview with the appliance store, the reporter also noticed that there is no shadow of solar water heaters in front of each water heater counter. Inquired, I know that solar water heaters are basically sold in various specialty stores. The reporter immediately went to the store of a well-known brand in Westminster Road. The manager of the store told reporters that the sales of solar water heaters in Lanzhou is not ideal, and the market share is far less than that of electric water heaters and gas water heaters. The manager said: "Solar water heaters don't cost money. First of all, consumers don't know enough about this kind of product. Many people think that winter will not work well. They can only be used on the top floor. In fact, these are misunderstandings. Nowadays, the products are very good to solve these problems. But the more important one is the government guidance problem. Now the new residential areas are directly installed with gas boilers, and the residents do not have the need to install water heaters. The old houses and many residential properties On the grounds of building safety, it is forbidden for households to install solar water heaters. This problem still needs to be adjusted by the government to introduce corresponding industrial policies."
