2012 Japan LED lighting consumption increased by about 200% annually, calling for the development of international testing standards

A few days ago, the official director of the Japan Lighting Industry Association, Mu Zhengdian, said that in order to alleviate the power shortage after the earthquake in Japan, the Japanese government promoted LED lighting by implementing a number of measures to increase the consumption of LED lighting by more than 200% annually. In addition, he called for the development of international LED test standards, so that the industry has more effective judgment standards.

After the Fukushima earthquake in March 2011, many areas in eastern Japan have not resumed power supply. On May 5, 2012, Unit 3 of the Hokkaido Power Company Bob Nuclear Power Plant was shut down. All the nuclear power plants in operation in Japan were shut down. The shutdown of the nuclear power unit has further exacerbated the power shortage in Japan.

Accordingly, the Japanese government began to implement the "ecological points" program, as well as the establishment and implementation of the Green Procurement Law, Electrical Appliances Safety Law. Among these policies, energy conservation incentives for lighting facilities, for areas using LED lighting, further reduce electricity prices based on their energy savings. In 2011, the sales volume of LED lighting fixtures in Japan increased by 268% compared with the previous year, while in 2012 it is expected to increase by 185%. Mu Zhengdian said that in 2011, sales of LED lighting products accounted for about 20% of all lighting products, and this proportion is expected to reach 42% this year.

In order to further promote the use of LED lighting, Mu Zhengdian also proposed to develop an international standard for LED lighting industry. According to the Japan Lighting Industry Association's comparison test of 12 kinds of LED lighting products on the market in Japan, when the same product uses the US Department of Energy LED performance standards and the Japan Lighting Industry Association LED performance standard test, the difference between the two can be close to 50. %. Therefore, it is necessary to develop universal international testing standards. Mu Zhengdian believes that the new international standards should clarify the standard parameters of the lighting performance of LED products, such as luminous flux, color temperature, service life, etc., while providing consumers with clear and easy-to-understand instructions for distinguishing different LED products. .
