LED lighting to create a colorful Expo Park

The revolutionary leap human lighting technologies often leave footprints in the history of World Expo: Edison invented the incandescent lamp display in 1878 in Paris of World Expo, and thus into the homes of ordinary people in Shanghai in 2010; World Expo, also showcases a new lighting technology, that is LED semiconductor lighting.

LED was applied in large area in Shanghai World Expo, the Expo was born application of semiconductor lighting technology by far the world's most concentrated. According to incomplete statistics, a total of 1 billion 30 million LED chips used in the Expo site, the Expo venue indoor lighting light source of about 80% of the use of LED green light source, compared to ordinary incandescent power up to about 90%.

"Semiconductor lighting technology lighting World Expo. Expo City best practice area, a four axis of landscape lighting is completely LED, the park more than 80% of the night scene using LED, which is currently the world's only. Shou Ziqi, director of the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission, held a news conference on the theme of the Expo science and technology.

Shanghai photoelectron industry association secretary general Tang Guoqing pointed out in an interview with reporters, from landscape lighting, LED make Shanghai World Expo become a visual feast; and in various pavilions, such as the Expo Center in the display, the U.S. Pavilion, the Canada Pavilion inside very beautiful display techniques, is the use of LED lighting.

"If the application of LED in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is a new start, then the application in Shanghai in World Expo, can be considered as a milepost type development. Tang Guoqing said, LED in the Beijing Olympic Games is a single type of application, while in Shanghai, World Expo is a comprehensive application.

Shanghai World Expo is the first to formally put forward the concept of "Low Carbon Expo" in World Expo, LED Zhao Mingzheng is a combination of "low carbon" and "energy saving" concept, to achieve a large-scale application in the Expo Park.

According to experts, the current semiconductor lighting and conventional lighting in the light effect comparison has shown good energy-saving effect. For example, LED in the field of landscape lighting can save 70%, in terms of LCD TV backlight can save energy by 50%, in terms of road lighting can save energy 40%-50%.
