- The Importance of Energy Star & RoHS Certification
Our LED light bar strip products have passed Energy Star and RoHS certifications, ensuring that they are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Energy Star certification means that the product meets strict energy efficiency standards, while RoHS certification ensures that the product does not contain harmful substances, making it suitable for the global market, especially in areas with strict environmental protection requirements.
(Industry Trends) The compliance threshold of the global LED market continues to rise, and Energy Star and RoHS certifications have become the “hard currency” for access to the EU and North American markets. According to UL Solutions data, the premium of dual-certified products is 23%, and the coverage rate of EU RoHS Directive has exceeded 89%. If your product obtains these two certifications, the quality can be comparable to international brands such as IKEA and Philips.
(Technical barriers) Energy Star certification requires luminous efficacy ≥ 90lm/W and standby power consumption ≤ 0.5W, while RoHS requires passing 6 hazardous substance tests (lead, mercury, cadmium, etc.). It is recommended that you choose a chip supplier like Lumileds that provides pre-certification solutions, which can shorten the certification cycle by 50%.
- Production and advantages of environmentally friendly LED light strips
We focus on the production of environmentally friendly LED light strips, using sustainable materials and energy-saving technologies to reduce the impact on the environment. Environmentally friendly LED light strips not only meet international environmental standards, but also help customers enhance their brand image and meet consumers’ demand for green products.
(Material innovation) The use of bio-based polycarbonate (PC) materials can reduce carbon emissions by 32% and is in line with the EU Circular Economy Action Plan. According to the Deloitte report, manufacturers using recycled aluminum lamp bodies + lead-free solder can reduce production costs by 18% compared to traditional processes.
(Process upgrade) If the factory can introduce vacuum reflow soldering equipment from Germany’s ASM Siplace, the soldering temperature can be reduced from 260℃ to 220℃, reducing volatile organic compound emissions by 50%.
- Energy Star certified LED light strip energy-saving advantages
Energy Star certified LED light strips have significant energy-saving effects, which can help customers reduce energy consumption and operating costs. Our products have lower energy consumption while ensuring high brightness, suitable for long-term use, especially for commercial and industrial lighting scenarios.
(Technology breakthrough) The light strip equipped with CSP (chip-scale packaging) technology can achieve a luminous efficiency of 210lm/W, which is 41% more energy-saving than traditional SMD solutions. According to the test data of DOE U.S. Department of Energy, if 1,000 sets of office lamps are replaced with Energy Star certified products, the annual electricity bill can be saved by more than $12,000.
(Smart Control) It is recommended to integrate a wireless dimming system such as Lutron Caséta to achieve time-sharing brightness adjustment through the mobile phone app, which can further reduce the energy consumption of shopping mall lighting by 35%. The average monthly search volume of Google search terms “smart dimming LED light strips” increased by 67%, and the product page needs to be optimized in a targeted manner.
- Market competitiveness of RoHS certified LED light strips
RoHS certified LED light strips do not contain harmful substances such as lead and mercury, and comply with environmental regulations in the global market. Our products are not only environmentally friendly, but also have high reliability and long life, which can help customers stand out in the fiercely competitive market.
According to Amazon platform data, LED products with RoHS marks have a 42% higher conversion rate and a 28% lower return rate. You can embed the environmental declaration document of EPD International on the product details page to speed up the purchasing decision-making of more B2B customers by 50%.
- The role of environmentally friendly LED light strips in sustainable development
Environmentally friendly LED light strips are an important part of sustainable development. We use renewable materials and energy-saving technologies to reduce carbon footprint, help customers achieve green lighting goals, and enhance corporate social responsibility.
(Policy dividend) LED companies that meet United Nations SDG 12 can receive up to 30% financial support when applying for EU “Green New Deal” subsidies. For example, the Spanish government stipulates that all public buildings must use carbon footprint certified lamps by 2025.
(Carbon trading opportunities) You can calculate product life cycle emissions through the Carbon Trust Standard, and you can make a profit of €85 per ton of CO2 equivalent on the European Energy Exchange. Case: Signify increases annual revenue by €12 million through the sale of carbon credits.
