192 1 year, Hu Xiyuan, a national industrialist and businessman, successfully trial-produced the first domestic incandescent lamp. 1923, he bought the electrical appliance factory of Auburn Company, a commercial company in Gansu Province, hired Auburn as an engineer, and started China Yapur Electrical Appliance Factory, becoming the first household light source enterprise opened by national capital in Shanghai. 1929, Gan Jingqiu and other national businessmen founded Huade Electro-Optical Co., Ltd. to produce vacuum filament bulbs.
With the development of incandescent lamp production, other light source products have also come out. 1927, Xu shijiong successfully trial-produced small electric beads, and opened a Gong Ming electric bead factory in Dongyang Garden, Zhabei, producing Sun Moon brand, glory brand 2.5V, 3.8V small electric beads and Christmas bubbles. Products sell well in the Yangtze River Basin and North China.
However, in the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, China's national lighting industry was squeezed by foreign brands and backward domestic forces, and the lighting industry lacked a long-term and stable development environment. Therefore, before liberation, only a few cities in China owned light bulb factories, and most of them were in a dying state.
After the founding of New China, the modern lighting industry in China ushered in the spring of development. The 1950s to the early 1960s was the beginning of the development of modern lamps in China. During this period, the construction and decoration of a large number of new modern buildings challenged and stimulated the development of the lighting industry at that time.
At this time, the lighting industry in China can no longer only produce ordinary incandescent bulbs, road corner lights, machine lights, boat lights, venue projection lights, photographic lights, stage lighting, fluorescent lights, bed rolling lights and so on. , but constantly develop more advanced and modern lamps. This is not only related to the stable environment, the state's support for the lighting industry, but also related to the actual needs of the lighting industry at that time.
1954, Sino-Soviet Friendship Building was built in Shanghai, and the supporting lamps were manufactured by three lamps factories in Shanghai. After nearly 1 year's efforts, lighting enterprises have produced large chandeliers, wall lamps, ceiling lamps and other lamps. The five-pointed red star sign lamp with high spire, no deformation and good light color was successfully manufactured in this temporary factory at that time. The appearance of these lamps marks a historic step for China's modern lamp industry. Later, in the process of manufacturing lamps for the Great Hall of the People, Diaoyutai State Guesthouse and other large buildings, domestic lamps continued to develop, and some products reached the international advanced level. At the end of 1950s, Shanghai lighting industry also produced marine lamps for the modern large ocean liner "ilych". These lamps not only meet international standards technically, but also undergo very strict product inspection. The workers in the lighting industry in Shanghai, with the spirit of winning glory for their country, finally successfully completed the task. In the early and middle 1960s, Shanghai took the lead in forming an independent, complete and cooperative lighting industry in China.
During this period, the development of lighting industry in Shanghai was the representative and epitome of the development of modern lighting industry in China. In addition to going overseas, Beijing, Tianjin, Wuhan, Guangzhou and other major cities have also set up lamp factories, and China's modern lighting industry is unprecedentedly prosperous. During this period, in addition to a large number of lamp factories springing up like mushrooms after rain, the output of lamps increased greatly, and the research on light sources in China also made gratifying progress. 1963 Fudan university electric light source laboratory and Yaming bulb factory, the second generation fluorescent high-pressure mercury lamp in China. Since then, the first hydrogen lamp, the first krypton lamp and the metal halide lamp have been produced in batches, and China's electric light source industry has also taken a big step forward. Shanghai has made great contributions to the development of electric light source industry in China.
When it comes to the development of the electric light source industry in China, we can't help but mention one person, that is Cai Zuquan, the "father of electric light source in China". Since 1960s, almost every scientific research achievement in China electric light source industry has been related to Cai Zuquan. 196 1 year, Cai Zuquan and his companions explored the "blank field" of China scientists-electric light source, and started to develop the first domestic light source-high-pressure mercury lamp. In the same year, Fudan University Electric Light Source Group was established. A series of achievements such as the first hydrogen lamp, the first high-pressure mercury lamp, the first krypton lamp and the first long-arc xenon lamp in the history of electric light source in China were born from him.
From 1949 to 1965, the lamp industry in China has developed rapidly, and the output of lamps has increased greatly, with a wide variety, some of which have reached the international advanced level. This period is also a period of rapid popularization of electric lights in China, and cities began to popularize electric lighting.
However, the development of China lamps industry is not smooth sailing. During the ten-year turmoil, the lighting industry was greatly affected, which made the lighting industry with weak foundation encounter the fate of stagnation. It was not until the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee in 1978 that a new upsurge in the development of China lamps began to appear.
