Taiwan enterprises actively enter the LED street market

Global demand for rapid growth of LED street lamps, especially in China's largest market growth. Taiwan's topology research pointed out that at present our country LED companies in Taiwan, including EPISTAR, Everlight, Lite, Baihong and so on, have been with the mainland LED packaging factory and system manufacturers, as well as the traffic lights and street lamps suppliers, even photoelectric enterprises to cooperate, are actively seize opportunities LED street. The outdoor advertising market has been dominated by the new century, but also planning from 2009 officially cut into LED street lamps, lighting modules, systems and products.

Although there are different needs and specifications for different markets, so the regional strong.
