The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, 2010 Shanghai World Expo lift China LED lighting market momentum

In the global energy shortage, environmental protection requirements continue to improve the situation, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and 2010 Shanghai World Expo have to focus on green energy as the theme, which brought a great historical opportunity to the development of LED lighting industry China.

LED lighting technology has the advantages of high brightness, long service life, energy saving, environmental protection and other advantages. It is a new lighting revolution in the history of human lighting following incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp. According to the (Sinotes) recently predicted that in the Olympic Games, the World Expo, driven by strong, the Chinese mainland LED lighting market will grow rapidly from 4 billion 850 million yuan in 2007 to $9 billion 810 million in 2013.

2008 Beijing Olympic Games will be the first large-scale use of semiconductor LED lighting technology in the history of the Olympic games. According to official statistics, the Beijing Olympic Games, including a total of 36 venues, the demand for lighting products will be around $500 million, which does not include the Olympic Village, Olympic Gardens and other public lighting market. In addition to the use of conventional lighting, at least 60% of the energy saving, LED lighting also has a long life, easy integration, fast response, environmental benefits, easy to control the distribution of light, rich colors and other advantages. The bird's nest and water cube and other major venues of a series of LED lighting project has been completed, the water cube as an example, the venue by way of lighting cavity transmittance, is currently the world's largest membrane structure building LED landscape lighting.

The preparation of World Expo in 2010 ushered in the climax of the new round of urban infrastructure, venue construction and transformation in which Shanghai was the center. At present, the Shanghai municipal government has formulated to promote the development of semiconductor lighting industry, promote the development of semiconductor lighting applications related policies and measures, including: semiconductor lighting as Shanghai in 11th Five-Year during the focus on the development of the twelve strategic products; the establishment of semiconductor lighting technology of semiconductor lighting project will be designed; as a "special" science and Technology Expo focus on the field; support LED lighting is widely used in World Expo. 2010 World Expo will be a major opportunity for China's LED lighting industry development.

LED lighting in the Olympic Games and the use of World Expo, its role is not only to promote the rapid growth of its own city LED lighting industry, more importantly, its exemplary role. LED lighting in the Olympic venues, urban landscape lighting on the outstanding performance, will dispel the concerns of other cities for the use of LED lighting. Li Jun, an analyst at, believes that China's LED lighting industry will usher in a new peak.
