Tianjin started the city lighting project, to create a demonstration area of semiconductor lighting technology

The day before the Tianjin City Development Zone has launched the first China LED (semiconductor) city lighting project. In the next few years, the development zone will use the world's most advanced semiconductor lighting technology, and gradually in the community, landscape, road lighting and other areas of the use of LED light source, to build LED city lighting demonstration zone.

Industry believes that LED lighting is one of the most promising high-tech areas in twenty-first Century. LED as a light source after incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp, high pressure gas lamps of the fourth generation light source, under the same lighting conditions, the average saving more than 50% than ordinary lamps, and does not contain harmful substances such as mercury and lead, life of up to 50 thousand to 100 thousand hours, the average in January of this year, Tianjin city has "power LED lighting product development and industrialization project" in 2008 20 major innovation project.
