The first lighting technology transfer center

According to the international online reports, 24, supported by the Ministry of science and technology Chinese, Beijing semiconductor lighting technology promotion center and the Kenya Ma Chaix county government supported the establishment of the "relevant semiconductor lighting technology transfer center" was completed. It is also the first lighting technology transfer center jointly established by China and African countries, and its promotion of semiconductor lighting and solar power technology and products, to eliminate the 260 million African kerosene lamps may provide.

Semiconductor lighting (LED) also known as solid-state lighting (SSL), is another source of revolution after incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp products, energy saving, long service life, has a broad application prospect in automobile, home appliances, mobile phone and other mobile communication equipment and planting and breeding, medical, optical communication, indoor positioning etc.. The semiconductor lighting industry has the characteristics of low energy consumption, resource employment ability, good comprehensive benefits, is widely regarded as one of the strategic emerging industry in twenty-first Century the most development potential, under the support of the government.

Apropos of semiconductor lighting technology transfer center is in the "China Africa science and technology partnership and China science and Technology Department of Kenya higher education and the Ministry of science and technology" to build a project, from the pertinent memorandum of understanding "Network Center under the framework of the implementation of lighting. According to the Beijing semiconductor lighting technology promotion center researcher Wang Guohua introduction, promotion of semiconductor lighting technology and products, development of semiconductor lighting industry, has important significance for saving resources, climate change, protect the environment, reduce poverty and improve people's living standards. With the semiconductor lighting and solar power, can make a contribution to solve the outlying areas of Kenya hundreds of thousands of households without electricity for lighting, and can improve the manufacturing level of the country lighting and related industries, to achieve leapfrog development of kerosene lamp to third generation lighting products become possible. In the long run, but also to eliminate the 260 million African kerosene lamps provide a viable path.

It is reported that the relevant semiconductor lighting technology transfer center uses a public - private partnership model (PPP model), this model provides a sustainable development mechanism for the project. The centre partner is a Sanya based company, which is registered in Kenya, which provides the site, manpower and other related facilities and funds for the project. Chairman of the company said that the establishment of the relevant semiconductor lighting technology transfer center in line with the overall strategy of Kenya to develop green energy and solve the lighting problem. As a national power shortage, Kenya solar energy resources are very rich, not simply for the local transfer center to provide solar power and semiconductor lighting products, but to have new ideas in solar energy applications in Chinese and China successful application products to Kenya, to Africa, from the design concept of transfer to a manufacturing technology. This is the time to explore the Chinese technology go.

Is located in Kenya Industrial Zone, macak Kenya semiconductor lighting technology transfer center consists of two assembly lines, a testing laboratory and an exhibition hall. Assembly and manufacturing technology, solar water heater system design and installation, operation skills, solar power systems and industrial solar power station design, installation and operation of Technology Center will transfer and teach the semiconductor lighting and solar energy products, and training design and maintenance personnel lighting and solar power generation local semiconductor.

On the day of the end of the semiconductor lighting technology transfer center inauguration ceremony, the power and energy experts from Kenya also demonstrated in detail the practical effects of semiconductor lighting and solar power products and applications.
