Japan faces LED lighting and the city after the rise in electricity tariffs

Many stores and households are affected by the increase in electricity tariffs, because the store can not reflect the cost to the price, and said that most of the stores can still maintain the balance of payments, but because of the high cost of materials, it has become operational more difficult. Although the recent increase in electricity tariffs in Japan is lower than that estimated by Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), it is about 8 percentage points higher, and most residents are still not satisfied. Many people oppose the rise in electricity tariffs, and said that the increase in electricity tariffs is not only related to money, but also hopes that the power companies can do their best, instead of directly burdening the people. The rise in electricity tariffs has made the people feel that after the extortion of the government to allow electricity tariffs to rise, regardless of the satisfaction of the people, the price of electricity will rise. Therefore, saving electricity has become a norm in daily life. Despite rising electricity bills, many residents are still opposed to restarting nuclear power plants. According to the statistics of energy-saving groups, in the average household, 4 major electrical appliances account for 70% of the electricity consumption, which are air-conditioning, refrigerators, electric lights and television. The industry recommends sticking a heat-insulating film to the window to block the sun and avoid rising room temperature. And the air conditioner is turned on for a whole day, so that the temperature is maintained at 28 degrees. Because the power is turned on and off, the power consumption is more power-consuming. At this time, using the inverter air conditioner will be the key to energy saving. In addition, it is recommended not to put too much food and drink in the refrigerator, and put the TV The brightness of the screen is dimmed, that is, the backlight setting is adjusted, which can achieve better energy saving effect in the LED-backlit LCD TV. If the monthly electricity consumption is controlled to not exceed 300 degrees (kilowatt hours), the electricity company's increase in electricity bill will not have much impact on the general public. LED bulbs reduce lighting energy consumption. Using different types of bulbs can also reduce energy consumption. LED manufacturers have seen the market demand. In 2011, the Japanese LED market doubled in 2010, about 200 billion yen, and is expected to grow to nearly 400 billion yen in 2012. LED bulbs are more expensive, but the product life cycle is longer than filament and fluorescent bulbs, so it is considered a energy-saving bulb. Not only that, but the Japanese market is also a special case, and sales of electric fans and bamboo curtains doubled in 2011. Due to these efforts, Tokyo used less electricity in the summer of 2011 than in the summer of 2010. After the tsunami in Fukushima, Japan in 2011, the Japanese people faced the reconstruction after the disaster. Although people re-lighted the lights in 2012, the spirit of collective energy conservation still exists. Many people think that as long as they can save electricity, they don't care to pay more electricity bills. They want to clearly express their willingness to pay more electricity bills. They don't want money to restart nuclear power plants.
