Since January 1, 2014, the US market has stopped selling the best-selling 40-watt and 60-watt incandescent lamps. South Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines have also taken measures to promote energy-saving lamps. Starting from October 1 this year, China will also ban the import and sale of ordinary lighting incandescent lamps of 60 watts and above.

Mr. Sun, the head of a lighting brand, said that the current price of LED lights is more than double that of energy-saving lamps, and the market is still in the process of cultivation. However, from the performance of last year, the future development space is still quite large.

The LED lighting market needs to ensure the standard, so that consumers can feel at ease from the lighting market of several decorative cities.
