Government boosts LED business photos

[Source: Gaogong LED's "LED Research Review" magazine February issue Reporter / Wang Cairong] Promoting LED lighting applications has been a major policy of the Dongguan government of Guangdong Province, and the Dongguan government has been promoting the initial success of outdoor LED streetlights. The target is also aimed at LED indoor lighting, and it is planned to promote 420,000 LED indoor lighting by the end of 2013.

“Guangdong Province has been accelerating the promotion of LED lighting in all aspects. The implementation of indoor lighting promotion plan in Dongguan is the first time. The purpose is to enable Dongguan to take the lead in promoting indoor lighting.” Dongguan Science and Technology Bureau Li Yaoqiu, chief of the Science and Technology Major Special Project Office, told the reporter of "High-tech LED" that the implementation of the LED indoor lighting support policy can not only allow the society to deeply understand the LED lighting knowledge, but also experience the energy-saving benefits of LED lighting. It is also an initial attempt by the government to boost the civilian market.

However, as of now, the implementation of this promotion plan does not seem to be smooth. Li Yaoqi told reporters that apart from the mandatory replacement of public lighting such as the office building of the city and township government, other owners' attitudes towards the above policies are not very active, and the promotion of indoor LED lighting is very slow.

Test and assessment

"For all the owners involved in the LED indoor lighting energy-saving renovation, the municipal finance will give a certain degree of subsidy, but the premise is to use the products that enter the Guangdong benchmark system." Li Yaoqi told the "High-tech LED" reporter, the specific subsidy basis The "Temporary Measures for Subsidies for LED Lighting Application Demonstration Projects in Dongguan" has been issued.

The "Subsidy Measures" stipulates that the LED lighting products demonstration project implemented by the towns and streets of Dongguan City shall purchase LED lighting products that meet the city standards, and the municipal finance shall subsidize 10% of the price of the approved LED lamps, instead of the government units. If the enterprise participates in the demonstration project that meets the city standard, it will be subsidized according to 30% of the price of the approved LED lamp.

"The object of subsidy is for the whole society, there is no limit, but from last year to now, the progress is very slow, one of the main reasons is because last year's "Guangdong Province LED indoor lighting product benchmark system standard" was released relatively late." Li Yaoqiu It is indicated that the products entering the benchmark system also need to be uniformly tested and evaluated by the Dongguan Quality Supervision Bureau. The process is complicated and the cycle is relatively long.

"Many LED companies' indoor lighting products have entered the provincial benchmark system, but the suppliers are the best products for inspection. How much water is actually installed, must be checked and verified by certain means, which is also the largest at present. Li Yaoqiu told reporters that after the LED supplier passed the qualification examination of the Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, the products to be inspected must pass the pre-test, benchmark test, performance test, conformance test and factory consistency check, and then proceed. Unified evaluation, the whole process takes a long time, it takes about three months.

The reporter learned that in 2012, two batches of LED companies participated in the qualification review of lighting products, but they are still in the stage of consistency review, and the quality inspection report has not come out, so most of the planning projects have not yet begun. "The current progress is different from the plan. It is difficult to say whether the 420,000-inch LED indoor lighting product promotion plan can be completed before the end of this year. We have no choice but to follow the testing procedure." Li Yaoqiu revealed.

High initial investment cost

“The subsidy policy issued by the government will require a certain subsidy for the total investment of a single project to be at least 500,000 yuan. The cost of capital for one-time replacement of LED lamps is very high, and it is impossible to ensure that all energy-saving lamps will be It is really cost-effective to replace it with LED lights. The person in charge of a large-scale chain store in Dongguan told reporters that the lighting equipment in shopping malls is mainly based on ordinary energy-saving lamps. The initial input cost of LED lights is prohibitive.

Taking fluorescent tubes and LED tubes as an example, the average selling price of a 35-watt fluorescent tube is 20 yuan. If the purchase is 1000, the initial procurement cost is only 20,000 yuan; and a 35-watt fluorescent tube is replaced. The unit price of the 10 watt LED lamp is 120 yuan, and the same is purchased for 1000. The replacement cost is 120,000 yuan, and the latter cost is 6 times that of the former.

“The total amount of lighting projects with a single energy-saving retrofit of more than 500,000 yuan to enjoy subsidies is too high, especially for the retail industry with fast capital flow, the funds are relatively large.” The person in charge said that Not using LED lights is not an understanding of the performance of energy saving and environmental protection, but the initial use of too much money, the investment return period is too long.

Li Yaoqiu introduced that although the indoor LED lighting promotion plan was launched for the civilian market, the main target is the industrial and commercial enterprises to promote LED commercial lighting. “The part of government investment is compulsory, but it is mainly guided by business enterprises. If they feel that it is not worthwhile and they are not willing to replace it, it will be very difficult for us to promote it.”

"From the perspective of energy conservation and environmental protection, the starting point of the government is undoubtedly good, but for the owners, especially the industrial and commercial enterprises, they have their own economic interests."

“Generally speaking, large-scale shopping centers rely on collecting store rents and channel fees from various businesses to achieve profitability. For each store's location, bidding is basically carried out every year, and the price is high. Each merchant will carry out decoration design according to the needs of its own products.” A large shopping mall business owner told the “High-tech LED” reporter that unless it is a special demand of jewelry, high-end luxury goods and other manufacturers, the general business will choose to reduce the initial capital investment. What's more, LED lights take at least two to three years to recover costs and generate returns.

The owner "does not catch a cold"

“Wal-Mart has 11 chain stores in Dongguan. The old stores are still traditional incandescent lamps. Only the newly added stores use LED lighting energy-saving lamps, but they are not demonstration projects applied to the government.” Wal-Mart Dongguan Mr. Liang, the person in charge, told reporters that the Dongguan government had recommended some companies supplying LED lighting to local Wal-Mart and Tianhong shopping malls last year, but Wal-Mart did not adopt it. The person in charge said that it was inconvenient to disclose.

However, the reporter noted that at the end of 2012, Wal-Mart and Honeywell have signed a $12 million LED lighting order. The green lighting renovation projects of nearly 40 Wal-Mart supermarkets in China are responsible for the transformation, and the Rainbow Shopping Mall has also been neutralized. China (Beijing) Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. signed an eight-year strategic cooperation agreement for LED lighting procurement, and such large commercial lighting venues have their own fixed suppliers.

An industry insider revealed to reporters that foreign and small and medium-sized LED companies are difficult to get government projects, but they have already set their sights on areas such as retail and underground parking lots. The supply relationship between the two sides has gradually stabilized. "The government's indoor lighting promotion plan has certain subsidies, but there is no government resources, and enterprises and owners are difficult to obtain."

"The original intention of the implementation of the 420,000-inch LED indoor lighting is to gradually reduce the price of LED lights to commercial lighting, and then open up the civilian market and enter thousands of households." Li Yaoqi said that regardless of the owner's application to the government The demonstration project of energy-saving renovation is still looking for LED suppliers. It is conducive to the popularization of LED lighting. The two are not in conflict, and the government subsidies are limited. Most of the funds are still provided by the owners themselves.

Compared with the owners, the LED companies participating in this indoor lighting promotion plan are particularly active. Many local enterprises in Dongguan, including Qinshang Optoelectronics and Keleide Digital Optoelectronics, have submitted applications for product testing and evaluation.

"Now the main reason is that the product conformance test and the factory consistency review are progressing slowly. In the past, the application was accepted twice a year. Now it is changed to the annual batch acceptance, and there are more companies queued." Dongguan Keleide Digital Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. Huang Mei, deputy general manager of the company, said that after the product testing and evaluation passed, a certificate of conformity will be issued, but the cycle is relatively long. Now everyone is waiting for the government to bid.
