How to use green lighting to build science and technology environmental protection city

Guest key point

Ed Ebrahimian (Losangeles street lamp management committee):led environmental features are very obvious. Unlike some traditional light sources, LED does not contain chemicals that are harmful to the body

David Ferguson (Ontario, Canada, the city of communications supervisor): we also found that at present, many cities and countries in the promotion of LED lighting, lack of funds is the primary problem

Niu Pingjuan (director of the Tianjin University of Technology, semiconductor lighting engineering research and development center of Tianjin semiconductor lighting engineering research and Industry Alliance Secretary General): Tianjin is a big city Chinese very typical city construction, standardized, city management level is relatively high. We have been committed to promoting LED urban lighting

Deb Lovig (U.S. CREE LED City Project Manager): to promote LED lighting, the need to strengthen cooperation with the government. At present, in some cities in the United States, the government will set up a special utility department responsible for the procurement, installation and testing of LED street lamps

In the recently held 2010 "LED and LED Lighting City" forum, city lighting has become from the three city of Tianjin, Losangeles and the United States Chinese Canada Welland green lighting industry, common concern of industry experts and LED manufacturing enterprises on behalf of the topic. According to reports, as of October 2010, China in Tianjin city and Huizhou City, and the city of Boston City, Rowley, Toronto, Canada, Bremen, Italy City, Kwangju City, South Korea arpey Keogh, India Dilupadishi from 7 countries with a total of 24 city have joined a "green lighting project LED City".

Build a public platform to promote LED urban lighting

Niu Pingjuan: Tianjin is a very typical big city in China, the urban construction is more standardized, the city management level is relatively high. We have been committed to promoting LED city lighting, but also with the government to do a lot of work.

At present, Tianjin as a member of the LED City program, has benefited from two aspects: the first is through the implementation of Tianjin LED City plan, and strengthen the government and the general public awareness of green lighting, but also promote the further formation of government and the general public of the energy saving and environmental protection; second is in the process of building a green city in the the application of LED technology, we obtained from the parties involved in the LED City program, and the operation mode of the city green lighting experience and other aspects of information.

Deb Lovig: according to our statistics, there are 7 cities from around the world to participate in the 24 cities LED City this program. Participating in the LED City program, the city needs to set up a LED lighting test area for inspection at the beginning. At this stage, we will measure the use of LED equipment data, whether to achieve the effect of energy saving, and then test the service life of the device. Since the implementation of the LED City program, many cities are willing to participate in these test data to be shared with other cities, which is very conducive to the promotion of LED green city lighting.

Lack of funds: constraints LED urban lighting

Deb Lovig: to promote LED lighting, the need to strengthen cooperation with the government. At present, in some cities in the United States, the government will set up a special utility department responsible for the procurement, installation and testing of LED street lamps. Because the cost of LED lighting is much higher than the traditional light source, there is a problem of market failure, which means that the government needs strong support to solve the problem of LED lighting application funds.

David Ferguson: we also found that many cities and countries in the promotion of LED lighting, lack of funds is the primary problem. Therefore, the government's support for LED lighting is crucial. Compared with the United States and Canada, the United States LED lighting penetration rate will be much higher, mainly because the U.S. government invested more money in this regard than the Canadian government.

Ed Ebrahimian:LED environmental features are very obvious. Unlike some traditional light sources, LED does not contain chemicals that are harmful to the body. Now many users are more concerned about the environment, care about the quality of their lives. There is no doubt that LED lighting in environmental protection and design applications is a certain advantage. I believe that with the continuous decline in the price of LED, LED lighting will gradually civilians.

With industry associations to promote small towns LED lighting

Ed Ebrahimian: Losangeles now has a road maintenance fund, in the promotion of LED city lighting project. The fund is set up by the government to participate in the management of public utility companies to invest and operate by private institutions. Not only that, at present, the public utility companies each year in the form of loans, Losangeles road maintenance fund to provide the annual development of the required $40 million of funds.

I think, if Chinese some of the city, such as Tianjin to promote LED lighting projects, LED lighting needs through strengthen environmental protection and improve the city environment, in order to obtain the support of government financial funds and preferential policies.

Deb Lovig: I think there is another point also need to pay attention to small towns in the implementation of LED lighting plan may be different from the operation of large cities. Usually small and medium-sized towns do not have the conditions for the establishment of special funds, not like Losangeles, there is a formal fund, responsible for the implementation of the LED urban lighting plan. Therefore, small and medium cities and towns need flexible management, with the help of industry associations, in order to minimize the input of manpower and material resources, so that the realization of LED urban lighting
