In the green lighting show, exhibitors show a wide range of environmentally friendly lighting products, and claims that its electricity consumption than traditional lighting products save 70% to 90%, just in line with market trends. However, such products rise, what is the Malaysia business and consumer awareness of environmental protection has improved, and energy prices, the industry have different views on this. JustinYang, director of international business at LED, Shenzhen's RiShang, insists that the latter is the key factor. He said: "the presence of the industry does not care about environmental issues.

Low said: "the government of Malaysia has launched an environmentally friendly procurement programme encouraging everyone to switch from traditional lighting systems to LED lighting products.". All new development projects must now use LED lighting. Implementation of regulations concern. Many products in the market are not up to standard, many of which are purchased from China, and the authorities must be more strict in regulating the LED lighting products purchased for the new development projects. Yong also considered that the authorities can further promote LED lighting products industry growth. He said: "last week I went to Singapore to attend another similar exhibition, where 10 times more people here.". Singapore government implemented many measures, encourage the use of environmentally friendly products, especially the introduction of tax incentives. Therefore, the return on investment in Singapore's LED sector is ideal, and the cost can be recovered as soon as 9 months. This period is much shorter than that in Malaysia. Many exhibitors believed that Malaysia consumers' cognitive level of the industry development stalled. Low said: "Lybase applies products to comply with Malaysia and international standards certification, highlighting product safety and benefits.". However, although our customers like to obtain certified products, but often do not understand the importance of this, we want to explain." However, many exhibitors pointed out that the LED lighting market is still in its infancy, to deepen the understanding of related products will be the next few years consumers. "5 to 10 years ago, LED was not a reliable or stable product," Ooi said. Today, LED has become very reliable and durable, providing high quality lighting, so consumer confidence in LED is increasing day by day." The development trend of solar industry and LED lighting. MSD Blue Ocean is a solar ring manufacturer in Malaysia, New Yoong Chee manager, said: "everyone pays attention to environmental protection, many developers want to build environmentally friendly buildings, the need to purchase all kinds of environmental protection products.". But many people don't focus on environmental protection, but they want to save money."

Trina Solar is a Chinese photovoltaic module manufacturer, the emerging markets, Asia and the Middle East Business Manager JunrheyCastro believes that Malaysia is a major emerging market, but now its importance still far less than Japan or India, China. He said: "the government of Malaysia tendency support solar energy and green energy development, the authorities will soon bring great changes to the revised policy, market, and will attract more domestic and overseas investors put more funds for the development of solar energy business."
