Save energy to protect our globe

Facing with the U.S., Europe, Japan, technical barriers and sluggish demand in domestic LED lighting market， It is extremely difficult to develop for the China enterprises specializing in outdoor LED flood light and other commercial and household LED lighting. Europe and America as the world’s major LED application base , the highly requirement on technology and safety standards is making significantly impact on Guangdong LED enterprises exporting outdoor LED flood light and other outdoor and indoor LED lighting . Technical barriers has become the biggest obstacle to export China’s LED lighting products.

Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Quality Supervision WTO / TBT Center recently informed that the European Union, the United States, Chile , Uganda and other countries and regions set a higher threshold on the exporting country’s directional lights and outdoor LED flood light and other outdoor and indoor LED lighting products，proposing much highly and more stringent requirements on energy saving, eco-design , energy-efficient aspects of labeling, testing and inspection , performance, security , size, weight , shape, etc for directional lights and LED lighting products entering the country. For example, the EU e proposed energy efficiency requirements on directional lights and outdoor LED flood light and other exterior and interior LED lights. The notification regulations require that only directional LED lamps and directed fluorescent lamps whose energy efficiency index is 0.2 or more can enter the EU market , which has increased by 2.5 times over previous energy efficiency requirements , and is 2.2 times over China current national standards, a direct result of the production costs of outdoor LED flood light and other commercial and household LED lights enhance more than 20% in accordance with the energy efficiency requirement，which will bring additional costs at over 20 billion yuan to Guangdong ‘s LED business.

In addition to energy efficiency requirements，there are increasingly demanding on testing procedures and assessment and market surveillance requirements to directional lights and LED lighting products entering the country, which is bringing huge cost of testing costs.

What’s more, the United States has notified the test procedures for outdoor LED flood light and other commercial and household LED lamp , according to preliminary estimates , if a company is required with the appropriate testing laboratory and testing equipment , which need to charge about 35 million and pay about 100,000 yuan every year to the laboratory operations, equipment maintenance ，laboratory personnel and remuneration. There are over 3000 LED business in Guangdong province China, and most of their products are exported to the U.S. Just the LED test program informed by United States will bring LED enterprises exporting outdoor LED flood light and other exterior and interior LED lighting in GuangdongProvince more than 20 billion in additional cost.Browsing http://www.lead-lighting.com/products/sid53-1.htm for more information about outdoor LED flood light.
