September 1, 2016, the European Commission in accordance with the European Commission (hereinafter referred to the European Commission) Regulation No. 1194/2012, a number of halogen bulbs ban. This Regulation sets out environmental design requirements for directional lamps and other lighting appliances in the EU market.

According to EU legislation, "directional light" means a fixture with at least 80% of the light output in the solid angle range of "π sr" (equivalent to a cone with an apex angle of 120 °). As of 1 September 2016, directional lights on the EU market must comply with the energy saving provisions of Table 2 (also known as "Phase III") of Annex III of Regulation No. 1194/2012.

The provisions of the "third phase", effective as of 1 September 2016, apply to directional lights to be placed on the EU market. After the provisions of the implementation, GU10 halogen spotlights and PAR30 Halogen floodlights that is prohibited to market.

"In fact, as early as a few years ago in Europe has been issued to prohibit halogen road map, each year have different wattage of the halogen lamp is prohibited to use, so far, many high-power halogen lamp has disappeared in the market, many places The application has been replaced by LED directional lights. "Zhang Hong, general manager of inspirational testing, told senior engineer LED.

The so-called LED directional lights, in fact, refers to the LED spotlights, LED downlights, etc., the application of the market in Europe and America has been relatively more. Because the old halogen spotlights prices cheaper than the LED lighting, welcomed by consumers, so LED lights complete replacement halogen lights also need a time course, not a sudden it will be able to break out.

The future, LED directional lights will be able to completely replace the halogen lamp. From the market point of view, once the ban is imposed, the halogens will be cut off from the market, so it will be necessary for another product to be replaced, "Zhang said.

In the use of lamps, the foreign way compared to China there is a certain difference. Domestic use of halogen lamps are directly inserted in the lamp, but the use of the concept of lighting abroad, rather than the concept of light, in their view, the replacement of light sources within the lamp requires qualified people to replace, is a very troublesome thing.

At present, the flood light source lamps (such as LED bulb) applications relatively more occasions in the overseas market sales are relatively large, and LED directional lights are mainly used in specific areas, so the market share is relatively low .

Three male Aurora brand management center manager Li Quan said that before our LED lighting, LED downlight in the overseas market do not much, and now we are strengthening the layout of this area of products, including channel construction, lighting design, branding, etc. , And strive to gain more market share.

In recent years, LED penetration of commercial lighting is also rapidly increasing. LED light color easier to control, adjustable color temperature, light efficiency, that are gradually improved, more and more can be accepted by commercial users.

"Now the LED directional lamp structure is more and more simple, more and more light weight, less and less use of thermal materials, the use of power getting smaller and smaller, more and more miniaturized power supply, increasing reliability, The corresponding cost is declining, therefore, LED directional lights to replace halogen lamps become an inevitable trend. "Zhang Hong introduced to.

Recently, a subsidiary LEDVANCE OSRAM introduced a LED lighting, shell for the first time the use of glass materials, light bulbs, it will be an ideal alternative to traditional halogen lamps. They are in the design, material and size have technical breakthroughs.

LEDVANCE will provide a series of PAR16 and MR16 LED lamps and other glass bulb, the luminous flux up to 575lm, color rendering index (CRI / RA) over 90, the service life of up to 40,000 hours.

In addition, LEDVANCE will provide replacement of halogen reflector lamps, R63 and R80 bulb glass LED filament lamp. The type of filament lamp glass bulb is divided into dimmable and non-dimmable, dimmable, can replace the 60W traditional bulb; non-dimming, can replace the 75W and 100W traditional bulbs.
