Taiwan cities and counties have plans to open a replacement LED streetlights

Government works to expand domestic demand starting, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs to actively promote energy conservation to reduce carbon, LED street lamp energy saving plan works, the central government's subsidies for the implementation of the project shall take the lead, is also actively cooperate with local governments to start planning the replacement of LED lamps, the current energy has A provision of the 2009 annual budget of NT about 2 ~ 3 billion, by the Legislative Yuan after the passage in 2009 counties and cities will start the laying of action by local governments to apply for at least a high degree of 8 meters below the poles of the secondary roads demonstration and extension , as well as verification of sunshine after the high ambient temperature, heat lamps will affect the detriment of product life.

Although the LED lighting accounts for the global lighting market share is only about 3 percent, including LED lighting lamps more limited market size. However, in times of economic recession, the weak demand for consumer products, the government's public expenditure LED lighting market has become a new opportunity.

Follow-up to the standards being released, LED interior lighting is just around the corner

At present, the standard lamps because of the need to test more than 4000 hours, many manufacturers have been sending in samples, estimated the fastest first quarter of next year will have a list of standards by manufacturers. And because China LED street lamp standard has not yet been completed, Taiwan's first enacted into standards, the estimates of Taiwan's LED lamps lighting standards will be in China to develop standards for LED lamps reference object, then in favor of Taiwan's manufacturers in the Chinese market opportunities attack streetlights.

Subscript seized Bureau for LED industry is expected to standardize the 17 kinds of national standards, in addition to "light-emitting diode lighting the road", but also actively develop "lighting with light-emitting diode components and modules in general life test methods", "LED diode thermal resistance measurement method of components, "" light-emitting diodes of optical components and electrical measuring methods, "" light-emitting diode module of optics and electrical measurement methods "such as a number of national standards, scheduled to published in January 2009, the future will combine to promote the "build energy conservation, renewable energy and forward-looking energy industry product standards, testing and verification technology platform" Science and Technology Program, synchronous establishment of detection technology and energy, and create LED products Standardization of the environment.

When after the completion of the above-mentioned standard-setting is conducive to outdoor lighting from entering LED lighting, LEDinside expected later in 2009 will be the first to see the Government and other relevant organs of the interior of the traditional light sources are gradually replaced with LED lighting.

LEDinside perspective

Taiwan's LED streetlight market that be? Despite the current Ministry of Economic Affairs Bureau of Energy proposed LED streetlight demonstration related budgeted 200 million to about 3 billion New Taiwan dollars, but with the cities, towns and villages, such as local governments in succession into the future, the overall efficiency is considerable. Road lighting norms of view, the need for every 25 meters a street lamp, if all replaced by LED, the number of Taiwan, about one million of the volume, consider the future of LED lamps light-emitting efficiency, cost reduction factors into account, the overall is still 4,5 NT tens of billions of dollars of market size waiting to be developed.

Although the LED streetlights currently facing problems although there are costs, institutions, luminescent efficiency, life expectancy, but the industry's technological progress is a continuous process, have to overcome and resolve to improve the way. However, LED street lamp can design and urban, rural streetscape with its industrial design can look beyond the standard of traditional street lights, and not just the responsibility of manufacturers, counties marked in the case of the municipal government, we must also should be taken into account.

The long run, LED street lamp specification matures, the future installation of a new, replacement of old, will run into consistency, product extension problem, how to resolve the problem? LED lamps will be related to the industry, as well as the efforts of government agencies, research direction.
