Guangdong province in China has put forward a plan to promote use of LED products in commercial and household areas in the next few years.
According to the plan, LED products will be used in all public lighting in the Pearl River Delta region within the next two years.
Hu Xuejun, director of the Foshan Science and Technology Bureau, pointed out that,"We have also worked out a pilot program to implement use of LED lighting in about 10,000 households, to promote energy efficiency and emission reduction."
Ai Xiaoming, CEO of Osram (China) Lighting Co, predicted about 50 percent of households in Guangdong will use LED products because the technology is important in emission reduction and energy conservation.
And the company became a supplier of LED lighting of the Ancestral Temple, a landmark cultural structure in Foshan. Local authorities have taken the temple lighting as a pilot program to push implementation of LED lighting. "After renovation, the LED lighting will help reduce about 80 percent of electricity in the temple," Ai said.
