Nowadays, the low-carbon, energy-saving and environmentally-friendly, green lighting hot discussion has allowed incandescent lamps to completely withdraw from the market. Recently, the European Union announced that it will phase out high-energy-consumption lighting equipment such as incandescent lamps in four years, and replacing incandescent lamps with energy-saving lamps, halogen bulbs and LED lamps has become the main lighting for European residents. China is a big producer and exporter of incandescent lamps. In the face of new EU regulations, many incandescent lamp manufacturers have long been prepared to open up new markets and adjust product mix. Energy-saving lamp manufacturers have seized business opportunities and sought to expand production capacity.
Recently, the European Commission passed a regulation in Brussels to gradually phase out the market for incandescent lamps and other high-energy lighting equipment for use in homes, industrial sectors and public places from 2009 to 2012, and for halogen lamps and compact Lighting equipment such as fluorescent lamps and LED lighting lamps have requirements for energy consumption, function, aesthetics, and hygiene. The European Commission pointed out that the reason for phasing out high-energy lighting equipment such as incandescent lamps in four years is to allow manufacturers to gradually adjust their production structure to meet consumer requirements. Based on this analysis, the European Union will replace incandescent lamps with energy-saving lamps, halogen bulbs and LED lamps as the main lighting for European residents.
China is a big country in the production and consumption of lighting products. In 2007, the output of incandescent lamps reached 4.44 billion, accounting for 1/3 of the world's output and 2.98 billion. According to statistics, Zhejiang Jiaxing District exported 686 batches of incandescent lamps in the first quarter of 2009, with a value of 8.74 million US dollars, of which the EU region accounted for about 1/3 of its market share. In response to the new EU regulations, the AQSIQ reminded incandescent lamp manufacturers to actively respond to and prevent export risks.

Improve energy efficiency, eliminate incandescent lamps in Europe and America
The European Commission believes that the new regulations will help improve the efficiency of lighting equipment in the EU family, industrial sectors and public places. With the gradual implementation of the regulations, the EU is expected to achieve the annual energy saving of 80 billion degrees by 2020. This is equivalent to one year of electricity consumption in the EU's 23 million households, and it can also reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 32 million tons per year.
In March 2007, the European Commission proposed a legislative proposal to phase out incandescent lamps by the end of 2012 with the aim of improving energy efficiency and implementing the EU's medium-term emission reduction targets. The EU leaders pledged to reduce the EU's greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% by 2020.
Energy saving is an important performance indicator for lighting products. It is reported that incandescent lamps generally only use about 5% of electricity consumption for lighting, and most of the remaining electrical energy is converted into heat energy. In contrast, compact fluorescent lamps and high-efficiency halogen lamps are as energy efficient as 25% to 50%, and CO2 emissions are much lower than traditional incandescent lamps.

AQSIQ said that the EU's lighting design eco-design regulations show that energy efficiency and environmental protection requirements are increasingly becoming restrictions on the export of lamps.
In fact, in the forefront of the ban on incandescent lamps is Australia. In February 2007, the Australian government took the lead in announcing the need to replace incandescent lamps with energy-saving lamps nationwide by 2010 and prohibit residents from using incandescent bulbs. This makes Australia the first country in the world to plan to ban the use of traditional incandescent lamps. Earlier this year, the Australian government announced that it would stop importing incandescent lamps from February 1, 2009.
North America has also joined the list of disabled incandescent lamps. In February 2007, the California State Legislature passed a new bill that “banned the use of electric incandescent lamps before 2012 and switched to energy-saving lampsâ€, making it the first state in the United States to ban the use of incandescent lamps. Ontario, Canada also said that it is considering emulating the Australian government's practice of prohibiting the use of traditional incandescent lamps that consume large amounts of electricity in Ontario.
