The global resources decrease the destruction of the environment, more serious, energy saving therefore become more important. Adhering to the this concept, the energy department began three years ago a competition, encourage the country's main lighting products manufacturer developing higher efficiency and technology more advanced new products, family and save energy industry think.
This is the famous "light tomorrow" JingSaiJiang lighting.

The light bulb is only 9.7 watts, low power consumption service life for 250000 hours (at present the standard of common bulb is 60 watt power consumption, use life 1500 hours), can maintain and common bulb the same illuminance. Although 2012 years after the initial price in market in 30 euros for about 10 years, but manufacturer is expected to drop to the initial price can be a quarter of the price.
