China's 2008 LED is expected to replace incandescent lamp

LED is currently mainly used for landscape and public utilities, into the family also need policy support. A common LED family lamp is several times more expensive than incandescent lamp. Countries have long called for the promotion of green lighting, LED in a variety of energy-saving light source advantages. LED light source has a long life, energy saving, environmental protection and other characteristics, in the same brightness, LED lamp power consumption is only ordinary incandescent lamp 1/10, life can be extended 100 times. Experts believe that the current shortage of energy in China, LED lighting can achieve the purpose of saving electricity, is expected in 2010 China's electricity consumption will reach 2 trillion and 700 billion degrees, lighting power consumption of more than 300 billion degrees. As long as the 1/3 incandescent lamp is replaced by the LED lamp, can save electricity for the country nearly 100 billion degrees per year, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of a Three Gorges project. 2004, Shanghai, Dalian, Xiamen, Nanchang, 4 cities have been set up as a national semiconductor lighting industrial base, Shanghai has been the core of semiconductor lighting as a pillar industry. At the same time, general electric, PHILPS, Rahm and other three world's largest lighting industry giant, has launched a large-scale commercial development plan, cooperation with semiconductor companies or mergers and acquisitions, the establishment of semiconductor lighting companies. They also suggested that in 2010 to make the luminous efficiency of the semiconductor lamp 8 times higher, the price is reduced to the current price of 1/100. Support the industry in the country, China's Taiwan Province, and three party vendors to join the international giants, China mainland LED industry has been formed, Chinese mainland currently on the downstream LED manufacturer also has reached about 150, after a strong trend. According to ITIS statistics, last year the Chinese mainland enterprises to produce LED output value of about $800 million, China's Taiwan province LED output value of $30 billion. With the Beijing Olympic Games and Shanghai close to World Expo, the application of LED in the display board, traffic lights, lights and other needs continue to grow, not only to light the landmark, lit up a window to tens of thousands, tens of billions of dollars in industry.
