The "Semiconductor lighting technology development '12th Five-Year' special plan" recently announced that the financial subsidies for LED lighting products which have been eagerly looked forward by the industry will start. However, the reporter learned from the China Association of Lighting that the subsidies do not involve the consumption of households. The reporter found that though consumers are eager for led light supply, the LED lights are still difficult to spread in the family in the short term subject to the price, performance and other factors.
LED and semiconductor lighting are included the seven strategic emerging industries
As an important measure for the country's economic development mode shift and industrial structure adjustment, LED and semiconductor lighting are included the seven strategic emerging industries for the country to cultivate. Recently, relevant departments have launched a series of guidance and policy. The Ministry of Science and Technology website released "Notice to print the special plan of the semiconductor lighting technology development "12th Five-Year" on July 11th. The key indicators of the development of semiconductor lighting industry formulated by the special plan of Semiconductor Lighting Technology Development are the domestic industry reaches 500 billion RMB in 2015; Wholesale Led Light accounts 30% share in the general lighting market; realize technological breakthroughs from a basic research, frontier technology, the application of technology to the demonstration and application of the innovation chain; the key production equipment and the important raw materials realize domestic production; focus on the development of new health and environmental protection semiconductor lighting standardization, standardized products, realize the large-scale application; establish public R & D, testing and service platform with the international advanced level; improve the scientific and technological innovation and industrial development policy and service environment, and built a number of pilot cities and special industrial base, cultivate leading enterprises with famous brands and forms internationally competitive semiconductor lighting industry.
There is still a certain gap between LED lights and energy-saving lamps
Liu Sheng-ping, chairman of the China Association of Lighting told reporters that the financial subsidies used by the government to promote efficient lighting are divided into two blocks, including 30% of subsidies for energy-saving lamps is used to promote for the promotion of household consumption, but the financial subsidies for the LED lights are mainly for large and medium-sized users, not for families. "There is still a certain gap between LED lights and energy-saving lamps either in terms of price or technology maturity." said Liu.
