Weifang vigorously develops LED industry

The coverage of LED street lights in Weifang Central City has reached more than 74%. By the end of this year, LED street lights will be fully covered.

According to the person in charge of the street lamp management office of the city, at the end of 2006, Beihai Road in Weifang City used LED light source for the first time in road lighting, and more than 400 sets of LED street lamps were on duty. Beihai Road became the world's first road to fully adopt LED lighting. After one year of inspection, its lighting effect and energy saving effect are good. The color rendering of LED street lamps is higher than that of metal halide lamps and high pressure sodium lamps, and the energy saving is above 50%. Since then, Weifang City has implemented a demonstration project of high-power LED lighting, and installed LED street lights on the main road. Up to now, there are more than 30,000 LED street lights in the central city of Weifang.

At present, there are more than 10 optoelectronic enterprises in the city, and Weifang has formed a photoelectric industry chain. In order to promote the development of the optoelectronic industry, the next step, the surrounding counties and cities around Weifang will gradually begin to install LED street lights. By the end of this year, the central urban road will realize the coverage of semiconductor lighting sources throughout the city, and strive to take the lead in building Weifang into one of the semiconductor R&D, production and application bases with strong technology research and development capabilities, high industrial concentration and application.
