Semiconductor lighting posts for city power saving

The day before yesterday, the outgoing message from Shanghai in the opening of the fourth session of China International Semiconductor Lighting Forum and exhibition, the near future, more and more Shanghai landmarks and road landscape lighting, public lighting, will be replaced by semiconductor lighting, the night of Shanghai is not only more beautiful, every year is expected to save 1 billion kwh of electricity, electricity with the equivalent of a small city a year lighting. The next few years, this new energy-saving light source will gradually enter the family.

Semiconductor lighting is a new type of solid-state light source, because there is no heat loss, energy conversion efficiency is much higher than ordinary light bulbs, has been shown in special areas. Such as landscape lighting (instead of neon) 70% energy saving, traffic lights (incandescent lamp) energy saving of 80%.

This energy-saving light source is gradually mount. Shanghai's iconic landscape of the Oriental Pearl and the upper and lower spheres with LED semiconductor lighting after the transformation, the power consumption of each spot is only 70W, the initial estimate of nearly 75% of electricity consumption than the original. At present, the implementation and implementation of the semiconductor lighting demonstration project also includes Chongming vanguard village, Luo Road Interchange, etc..

In the next few years, semiconductor lighting will gradually enter the people's home, but to achieve this goal must break through the two difficulties: reduce production costs and improve luminous efficiency. In 11th Five-Year, Shanghai science and technology planning, semiconductor lighting has been included in the development of one of the twelve key strategic products. By 2020, Shanghai should grasp the core technology of the semiconductor lighting industry.
