U.S. and South Korea to increase the budget for the development of domestic LED lighting industry

Energy saving and emission reduction is not a slogan, the advanced countries have announced a timetable to ban incandescent bulbs, the United States, South Korea and China's Taiwan region have also included support for LED lighting budget. Among them, the U.S. government is at the end of June announcement will be restated $5 billion for research and development of LED lighting LED lighting development plan; South Korea is more positive, will invest 5 billion won funds as early as 2007, the standard LED lighting development work, and plan in 2015 to 30% in domestic lighting jig LED lighting. Taiwan is in the 2010 annual budget, budget of NT $2 billion 582 million to support the LED lighting industry.

President Obama is at the end of June announced in its energy policy staff accompanied by consultant Steven Chu, the U.S. economic stimulus plan will compile a budget of $346 million, which will be placed a $50 million budget, specifically for the development of LED lighting, and the main objective of the programme is through the development of LED lighting technology, LED lighting the related science and technology, accelerate the LED lighting into the market rate. The program will focus on supporting the development of LED lighting technology and reduce the cost of switching to energy-efficient lighting products. The United States is the Department responsible for the development and development of LED lighting standards.

Look at South Korea, the Korean government has proposed a "plan 15/30", is expected in 30% by lighting LED lighting to replace before 2015. Therefore, knowledge economy in Korea Province Technology Bureau of standards has been started in November 2007 with local research institutions and enterprises with investment in LED lighting standards, standard specification and invest 5 billion won in LED lighting luminous efficiency, durability and working out.

South Korea is ambitious to become a LED lighting power. First, South Korea's attempt to grab the lead in LED lighting standards, and actively promote South Korea's LED lighting products and measurement standards become international standards. Because South Korea is a member of the International Electrotechnical Commission lighting and related technical committee TC34, and the United States, Japan, Canada and France also have the right to vote, while South Korea is South Korea by lighting technology research institute as the delegates at the conference held in April 2009 on behalf of the international standard in South Korea proposed, 6 LED lighting industry standard. In addition to being a member of the national agency of the IECTC34, the company is involved in international standardization activities, and is also responsible for promoting the lighting technology and related standards in korea.

Including the use of LED lighting, general lighting lighting, lighting and optical properties of LED for white LED security module guidance standards are being developed, and has put forward the standard scheduled meeting of the 6 LED lighting industry in April 2009 will be the international specifications, to accelerate the development of green lighting in the field.
