Progress in the application of the Taiwan LED street lighting 12500 demonstration case is expected to be opened next year

The application of LED street lamp has been developing rapidly in China and Taiwan. In Taiwan area, Taiwan area to develop ITRI LED street lamp specifications, is expected to be announced before the end of 2008, following the counties have small installed LED lights, Taichung City has completed 5000 LED lights tender by the end of October this year. It is pointed out that the Ministry of economic affairs of Taiwan Energy Bureau next year will release a subsidy of 500 counties and cities respectively, the total size of up to 12 thousand and 500 LED street lamp demonstration case. At present, the price of each street lamp LED about 10 thousand yuan NT estimates, the total amount of about $150 million in this case.

It is reported that the original Energy Bureau of the model is expected to be carried out this year. However, because the relevant budget in the Legislative Yuan was shelved until October this year, was formally adopted, it seems that the end of this year before the completion of the tender may not be easy, may be postponed until next year. The main content of each county were subsidized 500 LED street lamps, to the Taiwan area currently has a total of 25 counties and cities, the total number of tender lights about 12 thousand and 500.

Although LED lighting accounts for only about 3% of the total global lighting market, which LED street lighting market size is limited. But in Taiwan area, because Taiwan is now the total amount of more than 1 million 500 thousand street lamp, LED street lamp has change but the proportion is still very low, with the regional LED Street standard formulated confirmed and announced, technology vendors have become more mature, the expected LED lighting will bring considerable opportunities for LED vendors.
