Opened in 2018, California high threshold energy conservation standard energy-saving benefit exceeds 26.3 billion yuan

The California energy commission (CEC) announced this week will enable the United States the first standard of new energy, the specification on the new generation of energy-saving light bulbs.The new energy-saving standards photosynthetic efficiency of more than 80 lm/W, including the directionality of the small diameter of lamps and lanterns, usually used for track lights lighting, as well as the general LED lighting, the light source to replace the existing energy intensive traditional lamps and lanterns.

With the advent of new regulations, the consumer is able to calculate since come into force in the specification of the 13 years to save more than $4 billion (RMB 26.3 billion), at the same time, save power enough to supply the whole Santa Barbara and van DORA (Ventura) area, there are about 400000 families in the area.Consumers can be bought on the market in line with the new standard bulb.

The new specification will save electricity for the consumer and the cost of replacing the light bulb.Input according to the estimate of data, per $4 in to small diameter directional lamps and lanterns of energy saving, energy commission calculates a consumer in 11 years can save electricity and replacing costs up to $250.The calculation standard, is the price of LED bulbs in between $4.5 to $12, as the price of the future related products may continue to fall off, consumers save amount is expected to increase.

Small diameter directional lamps and lanterns

Track light, for example, are usually used in commercial lighting, such as stores or museum.According to statistics, in California there are about 1.6 million using small diameter directional light bulb.The category of this specification covers the bulb of the diameter of 2.25 inches or less, and will take effect in January 2018.

Bulb lights to at least 80 lumens per watt or aggregation CRI and at least 165 light efficiency, and must be at least 70 lumens per watt.

The minimum life of the bulb is less to have 25000 hours.LED bulb is the only conform to the standard bulb.Also represents the specification in use will be synchronous drive efficiency of the popularity of LED light bulbs and replace poor technology.

LED lights

For LED lights, lamps and lanterns of specification covers all the ambient light, directivity, and decorative light bulbs, and with special design, the traditional light bulb change LED lights.LED bulbs than other lamps and lanterns more energy saving, and long service life, that is to say that long-term savings amount is far more than the incremental cost.

Leds standards include the improvement of efficiency and quality, and will take effect on January 1, 2018.Additional light efficiency and standby power limits revision in effect on July 1, 2019.

Specifications include:

• full ambient light bulb light distribution must comply with the environmental protection agency (EPA) energy star standard bulb.

The minimum life must reach 10000 hours, the light bulb, equivalent to the service life of 10 years in general homes.

, certain colors in the light bulb under the irradiation of limit and the degree of color distortion.

Before that bulb can move light, suppliers at least meet above the lowest photosynthetic efficiency.

, which has the function of connection LED bulbs in standby mode the consumed power also has a limit.
