EU bans sale of 60-watt incandescent bulbs

From September 1, 2011, the European Union has banned the sale of incandescent tungsten bulbs of 60 watts. According to the European Commission Regulations, all non-indicative luminaires must comply with the minimum energy efficiency requirements. Traditional incandescent light bulbs can no longer comply with these regulations and must be gradually banned.

For companies that are committed to producing new types of energy-saving lamps, the alliance is a good news for eliminating low-performance light bulbs.

China is a big country in the production, consumption, and export of incandescent light bulbs. Ningbo is one of the top three lighting production bases in China. The lighting equipment industry has formed a scale industrial layout in recent years, especially in the high-end markets such as the European Union. Statistics show that from January to September 2011, the Ningbo region exported about 19,600 batches of lamps and related products to the EU with a value of 484 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 6.1% and 1.5% year-on-year respectively.

Energy-efficient bulbs are the “vane indicators” for the development of the entire lighting industry in the future. The considerable new market space in the EU provides a good opportunity to speed up product replacement. However, due to the EU RoHS directive, WEEE directive, EuP directive, and other technologies Restricted by barriers, related companies should not be blindly optimistic about export prices.

For this reason, the inspection and quarantine department of Ningbo reminded lighting lighting companies that they should use technical support as an important means of product upgrading, adopt energy-saving and environment-friendly key components, raw materials, parts and components and advanced technological processes that meet the requirements for energy use, and actively participate in international market technologies.
