LED lighting, global energy saving test
The global LED street light test results confirm that LED equipment can save up to 85% of electricity compared to existing technologies.
He added: “The high cost of capital and the lack of effective financing channels will continue to hinder market maturity. However, as investment flows into high-quality product manufacturers, the prices of LEDs and intelligent control devices continue to fall, and the promotion of innovations in project financing, such as Birmingham, With the massive purchases in cities such as Guangzhou and Los Angeles, these problems will become less and less."
Give another example. The financing support for the California LED street light project comes from the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the US Department of Energy. In January of this year, I reported in my blog that 10 cities in California have used funds provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to carry out LED street lamp retrofits. Some of these cities are very small. After I published that blog post, CEC announced that more than a dozen California cities have launched LED street lamp retrofit projects, which also benefited from the Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) project funded by ARRA.
The parties that issued the report are very confident about the potential of LED lighting equipment, and they want to make LED a global lighting standard. "All new public lighting-whether street lighting or public building lighting-should use LEDs by 2015, and the goal is to use LED lighting for all public lighting by 2020." Kempel of the Climate Group said in a statement This is the case in China.
The authors of the above report concluded: "The LED outdoor lighting technology is mature in terms of its performance. Urban lighting managers around the world have each confirmed that LED lights live up to expectations, with excellent performance and outstanding energy saving. They have also been recognized by the public and have indicators. After the initial period of fluctuation, the LED lamp can reach a stable light output."
1. LED can save energy by 50%-70%, combined with intelligent control system can save energy up to 80%. (The energy-saving performance in the test ranged from 18% to 85%. Of the 27 products, 20 models saved 50% or more, and 10 saved 70% or more.)
2. Surveys in Kolkata, London, Sydney and Toronto show that 68% to 90% of respondents support the promotion of LED lights in the city. Prominent benefits include improved safety and visibility.
3. The LED test life is between 50,000 and 100,000 hours, and the return on investment is relatively high.
4. The proportion of "catastrophic" failures in LED products after 6,000 hours of use is about 1%. In comparison, the failure rate of ceramic metal halide lamps is as high as 10% after being used for almost the same time.
The Climate Group CEO Mark Kenber wrote in the foreword of the report, “We believe that LEDs are suitable for large-scale applications in outdoor facilities. The independent testable results of the LightSaver test and related public surveys provide a strong The evidence proves that many outdoor LED products on the market can provide high-quality light, are durable, and have significant energy-saving effects-between 50% and 70% energy."
The Climate Group and Philips are calling for the development and implementation of an international low-carbon lighting standard and to ensure that citizens all over the world use energy-efficient outdoor lighting
