In 2011, China installed 530,000 LED street lamps.

According to the GLII survey, in 2011, the total installed capacity of LED street lamps in China was 530,000 tons (excluding tunnel lights), an increase of 51.4% over the same period of last year. It is estimated that the installation volume in 2012 will reach 850,000.

The survey found that the LED street lights installed in 2009 are now basically replaced. Some of the installations in 2010 have also been replaced. Technical defects have caused some LED street lighting companies to endure the hardship, and have also caused great negative impact on LED street lamps. influences. However, for LED street lamps, people from all walks of life think that the prospects are bright, so there is also a relatively high expectation for the LED street lamp market this year. In 2011, the domestic LED installation capacity was 530,000 baht, which was in line with the expectations of the high-tech LED industry research institute at the beginning of the year. Although no matter if it is an LED light source or a driver, compared with the previous two years, the technology and performance have been greatly improved, but there are still defects in the main technical indicators, heat dissipation, light failure and other issues are still not very good. Solve, and the price is still at a relatively high level compared to traditional light sources. These factors are the bottleneck that is difficult to break through the promotion of LED street lamps at this stage. The survey also found that during the promotion of LED street lamps, local protectionism is very common, so it does not rule out the rejection of certain inferior products, which also has a very bad influence on the marketing of LED street lamps.

In May of this year, the second batch of 16 "Ten Cities, Ten Thousand Cities" pilot cities were approved, demonstrating the government's determination in LED promotion. The survey found that not only is the pilot city of “Ten Cities and Ten Thousand Cities”, but other non-pilot cities have already started trials of LED street lamps, or they have formulated LED street lamp promotion plans. However, the speed of promotion is still very cautious. LED street light standards have not yet been introduced so far, the market is chaotic, products are mixed, the price difference is huge, and blind promotion is too risky.

In the LED street lighting promotion model, the EMC model is considered to be the most ideal model, but the EMC model is not recognized in China. The survey found that nearly 80% of the companies did not recognize the EMC model, among which 42% did not recognize and had never used the EMC model to promote LED lighting products, but 37% did not approve but had adopted the EMC model, and the EMC model was approved. Enterprises only account for 21%. The difficulty in applying the EMC model is mainly due to the long payback period. From the perspective of the enterprise, the maintenance costs in the later period are too high, and they dare to guarantee their own quality for a long period of time. From the perspective of EMC Corporation, the input costs are too high and the risks are too high. This year, there are also LED street lighting projects that have been promoted using the EMC model in China, but only a few. Another popularization model is the BOT model, which is still in its infancy in China.

From the perspective of enterprises, the major LED street lighting companies in the country include Jiangsu Shifu, Dajin Dongfang, Dongguan Qinqin, Zhongwei Optoelectronics, Xiamen Xinda, and Zhejiang Jingri. Dajin East is definitely a group of dark horses of LED street lamps this year. In July, Dongjin Lighting and Chongqing Municipal Government signed a contract for photovoltaic energy projects with a total value of RMB 300 million. In the same month, he won the bid for Zhengzhou Road, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, Yanhuangda Road. Dajin entered the LED streetlight for a short time, but successively won projects in Yangzhou, Chengdu, Tianjin, Lianyungang, and Henan. From the project point of view, the main projects of LED street lamps this year include Dongguan Qinshang Shenzhen Jihe Expressway, Nanguang Expressway, Longda Expressway, Yanba Expressway Project, Philips Guizhou Huaxi Avenue Project, Dazhou into the Eastern Zhengzhou Shenzhou Road Project, Shandong Dequan Energy Lu Quantun town project and so on. Dongguan Qinshang Shenzhen Expressway LED street light project is definitely one of the major LED street lights this year. The LED lights installed in the entire project have reached more than 8,800. From the point of view of urban promotion, Weifang, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Chongqing are fast-growing cities for LED street lamps. Shandong Weifang is currently the most successful city in promoting LED street lamps in China. The penetration rate of LED lights in the city has reached more than 95%.
