LED lighting everywhere changed our lives

Into high energy consumption era, people began to Light-Emitting Diode (light emitting diode, referred to as LED) which is a long string of complicated English words for the novel and attention to the eyes. It was found that LED has actually sneaked into our side, changing our lives.

For ordinary people, they may not even know what LED is.

In people's minds, but the light is in a common seal glass shell inlaid inside the high melting point, high brightness of metal wires for neon complex, but also more than just some inert gases. These great inventions bring happiness and traditional light efficiency to people in quite a long time in the life, they are so accustomed to the light, that often ignore its existence, as they know that the sun will rise from the same direction, don't worry about it as absenteeism. And LED is not so lucky, people also turn a blind eye to it, but because it is too strange.

Enter the era of high energy consumption, people have to adjust the lazy thinking, on the one hand to face and adapt to the increasingly severe energy shortage in fact, on the other hand, began to actively looking for new alternative energy, and strive to establish a more economical and clean lifestyle. So, people began to Light-Emitting Diode (light emitting diode, referred to as LED) which is a long string of complicated English words for the novel and attention to the eyes, this found that LED already dived in, on our side, the application of a series of unexpected.

In a word, we have long lived in the siege of LED.

Century old street

Xiamen is one of the main economic and tourist cities in the southeast coast of China. The pleasant climate, beautiful scenery and the high quality of the city's residents make her unique reputation in China's cities. As one of the ten famous streets in Xiamen, Xiamen, Zhongshan Road, is one of the most historic, cultural and most famous shopping districts in the world. Gathered in the streets of the cinema, department stores, shopping centers, restaurants, cultural venues, etc., is one of the famous Xiamen old prosperity of the old commercial street. But she is the unique architectural style of the most distinctive arcade, which has a rich Nanyang style building year after year, the continuation of Xiamen's history and cultural memory, attracting foreign tourists every glance. However, in recent years, the formation of a large shopping district to grab the scenery of Zhongshan Road, coupled with the transformation of consumer groups, Zhongshan Road gradually lost the city's commercial center. Compared with other shopping district, Zhongshan Road is the only one can not copy and replace the rich cultural heritage, the gradual decline in the increasingly deserted.

Last year, city managers began the transformation to save Zhongshan Road, the commercial street into a pedestrian street at the same time to strengthen their business functions, in Zhongshan Road installed a night project, according to their words, is to "activate" a hundred years old. September 6, 2005, the public have stopped in the streets of the old street, witnessed the lantern lit up bright scene.

Part of the transformation is the center of the century old street, 750 meters long, with a total investment of $about eight million. Each of the buildings on the street is sketched out with LED lights. According to the different styles of each building and sculpture design, the designer takes a different approach to the wall with the color matching, marking (billboards), as well as the decoration of the special pattern design changes. Mr. Chen Zhihe by the Xiamen municipal government's invitation, as the chief architect of this project, Mr. Chen said, "LED is can make a lot of changes, such as animal series, flower series, lantern series, and even modern abstract series, the last one is an innovation in this area, at the three street next to the transformation of the lighting, will use a lot of. The design, we will try to put the high-tech inventions and China tradition and culture combine to reflect the national characteristics, after such a transformation in Zhongshan Road, the flow of people than before has greatly increased, the development potential is great."

Landscape lamp is a LED material in the field of lighting one of the most important one of the applications, because the luminous efficiency of the same conditions, it needs the power of ordinary incandescent lamps only 1/10, compared with some high power lamp, gas lamp, energy saving effect is more obvious; on the other hand, because the LED is rigid semiconductor luminescent materials, not only the service life is much longer than ordinary light bulbs, but very little affected by the environment around. Most importantly, LED landscape lights can be controlled by computer programs, which is more varied, vivid and smooth patterns, color change. It is easy to adopt different design schemes for different buildings. In Zhongshan Road, a western style building with the style of the gorgeous lighting, the colored light like water pouring down from the high dome, Rome towering column with high brightness of the large area digital color conversion to reflect on the mechanics of rose, purple line Paris spring department store is strong and the wall surface create a relatively dense fashion and luxury; and for those with China national characteristics or wall construction is relatively smooth, flexible to highlight the rainbow tube changing curve profile and lightsome and elegant shape, a big red Chinese knot hanging high in the side wall of a building. In order to give people a strong sense of visual impact, complex
