According to the "CFLs" policy, many manufacturers recommend the LED lamp into the scope of policy

"CFLs" has been left behind in Europe and the United States have already determined that LED is the trend of development after day lighting system. In the Hongkong International Lighting Fair, the first set up LED lighting area has 440 exhibitors, the largest exhibition in the lighting exhibition. For the "CFLs" policy, many exhibitors believe that the government should be the LED lamp into the policy scope, otherwise it will fall behind other regions in asia.

Compared with the traditional "CFLs", LED is more energy saving, power consumption of three to 40% lower than "CFLs".

He said that the earlier European countries in view of the "CFLs" containing liquid mercury, will cause damage to the environment, is considering a ban on the use of CFLs, switch to LED, and the tungsten lamp is already the legislative ban. He believes that the government's environmental policy in Europe and the United States lags behind.
