A series of advantages such as energy saving, environmental protection, health and strong design determine that the trend of LED entering the field of general lighting is irreversible. Although the LED general lighting market showed a rapid development trend in 2011, LED general lighting is still in the early stage of rapid development. However, many people in the solar street light industry regard the market penetration rate reaching 10% as a milestone event, and believe that the LED penetration rate in the field of LED general lighting will exceed 10% in 2012, thus defining 2012 as the first year of LED general lighting. In the face of the general lighting market, which is several times as large as the radical application field, the development of the LED industry has just started, and the future market space is huge.

From the overheating of investment promoted by local governments in 2010 to the violent reshuffle of the industry in the second and third quarters of 2011, each fund should have a more rational understanding of the LED industry, and the overall development environment of the industry has been continuously optimized. In addition, technological progress and fierce competition in 2011 also led to a sharp drop in the price of LED terminal products. According to LEDinsid's recent observations, the international market is looking forward to the price sweet spot (Sweetspot, the best price acceptable to the market (replacing the conservative 40W). The expected target price of LED bulbs is $10), arriving in the second quarter of 2012, while The price of LED bulbs to replace traditional 60-watt solar street lights is also expected to reach the target in the first half of 2013. To sum up, I believe that 2011 was just a small turning point in the growth process of the LED industry. From 2012, the opening of the general lighting market will be accelerated, and the spring of the industry is coming.

It can be seen that the government attaches great importance to lighting energy saving. On August 8, 2011, the National Development and Reform Commission announced on its website the roadmap for eliminating incandescent lamps (draft for comments), and held a special press conference. It is planned to prohibit the sale and import of incandescent lamps of 100 watts and above for general lighting from October 1, 2012 to October 1, 2016, and prohibit the sale and import of incandescent lamps of 15 watts and above for general lighting from October 1, 2016 .In the "Draft for Comments", the official announcement time of the proposed roadmap is October 1, 2011, but the actual release time is later than the original time. a month. The National Development and Reform Commission issues a large number of notices and announcements every year, but very few separate press conferences are held, which reflects the government's high attention to lighting energy conservation.

There are also rumors in the market that a subsidy policy for LED general lighting may be introduced. On September 28, 2011, it is expected that the LED lighting subsidy policy will be launched in the future. The lack of LED-related stocks this time shows the comfort of the above-mentioned policies. Shanghai Securities News has reported that the Ministry of Finance is discussing subsidies for semiconductor lighting products with the National Development and Reform Commission and other competent authorities, and it is expected to start in the fourth quarter. Product subsidies for indoor lighting and commercial lighting, such as downlights and spotlights, and then gradually expand the strength and scope of subsidies. Globally, Japan, the United States, South Korea and some developed countries in the European Union are currently subsidizing and promoting LED lighting products. Among them, the subsidy in Italy is as high as 55%. Australia, Taiwan and other places have also begun to promote street lighting projects. It is believed that after the policy of eliminating incandescent lamps is clarified, the government will propose countermeasures to replace the light source. As one of the key development directions of my country's seven strategic emerging industries, the solar street light industry should receive financial support from the government in the future. It is expected that the introduction of the LED general lighting subsidy policy is coming soon. Officials have recognized the technical and economic feasibility of LED general lighting. I believe that the roadmap, especially the upcoming LED lighting subsidy policy in the future, shows that the official has recognized that the domestic LED industry has the conditions and foundation for large-scale promotion in the field of general lighting both technically and technically. and economically. The application of LEDs in general lighting is about to accelerate.
