Energy-saving lamp price disparity experts help you identify the pros and cons

How do ordinary consumers distinguish between high-quality energy-saving lamps and inferior energy-saving lamps? According to industry insiders, some small workshops are not in accordance with national standards in order to reduce costs, making inferior lamps flood the market. In the three-hole bridge lighting market, almost every store sells energy-saving lamps. Some time ago, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce announced that the qualified rate of energy-saving lamps on the market was less than 40%. At present, China's lighting products have two kinds of energy-saving certification marks: "CQCES energy-saving" and "section" word mark, both signs indicate that the product meets the requirements of energy-saving evaluation values ​​in national standards.

In the three-hole bridge lighting market, almost every store sells energy-saving lamps. There are many kinds of energy-saving lamps, including Philips, Op, and other famous brand products, as well as some small manufacturers in Guangzhou, Hangzhou and other places. The price of energy-saving lamps is even more confusing, such as a 5 watt energy-saving lamp, the lowest price of 3 yuan, the highest 15 yuan, the price difference several times.

In a lighting store, pick up a 5 yuan energy-saving lamp to ask the owner: Is the quality reliable? Is there a shelf life? The owner replied: "Cheap, we certainly can't guarantee the quality. But the quality of energy-saving lamps are similar. The effect is the same, and there is no need to buy expensive for the family."

The use of energy-saving lamps with widely different prices is really different. Mr. Li, who is choosing energy-saving lamps, denied this with his own experience. He said that when the house was renovated a year ago, all the lights in the house were all energy-saving lamps. At that time, he did not know how to buy it. He chose some "cheap goods", and the price of each lamp did not exceed 10 yuan. At the time, the merchant promised that the service life would not be shorter than one year, but it was not enough for half a year. Nearly half of the lights could not be used, and the power was not used. Later, Mr. Li listened to the advice of his friends and replaced the lights with branded products. The electricity bill really fell.

According to industry insiders, some small workshops are not in accordance with national standards in order to reduce costs, making inferior lamps flood the market. Inferior lamps not only have a short life span, but also generate a large amount of heat and are easily oxidized. When the lamp is used for a long time, the bulb will be black; and the glass of the inferior lamp has poor anti-aging performance, and may be exploded when used.

Some time ago, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce announced that the qualified rate of energy-saving lamps on the market was less than 40%. Unqualified inferior products are “short-lived” and do not save money, which harms the interests of consumers. Then, how should ordinary consumers identify high-quality energy-saving lamps and inferior energy-saving lamps? Experts say that when purchasing, you must first look for big brands and national energy-saving certification marks. At present, China's lighting products have two kinds of energy-saving certification marks: "CQCES energy-saving" and "section" word mark, both signs indicate that the product meets the requirements of energy-saving evaluation values ​​in national standards. Second, look at the product packaging. The state mandates that the energy-saving lamp products be marked on the outer packaging with the following contents: origin, rated voltage and voltage range, rated power, and rated frequency. The current on the lamp and other supplementary instructions related to safe use are marked on the lamp, or on the package or in the instruction manual.
