The plan proposed that some roads to the city street lights newly installed or modified as LED, LED lighting industry in output value reached 15 billion yuan in 2015.And six years to install 80,000 LED lamps.

Reportedly, the city in semiconductor lighting technology and product research, development, production and application of enterprises have more than 50 last year, sales totaled 1.65 billion yuan. The next few years, Dongguan, LED industry will grow bigger and stronger, to become new economic growth point.

LED lighting applications in the promotion, for 2015, part of the city's roads transformed into lamps or LED lights newly installed, 10 000 each year, accumulated to install LED street light 80 000; for the part of the new office buildings, commercial buildings, large Square and other large public building corridors, underground garage and the building interior with LED lighting, solar power available conditions.
