As people's awareness of environmental protection, high power consumption and waste pollution problems of traditional lighting equipment, has attracted attention of governments, have invested a lot of money, manpower and material resources to develop new green light. And there are " green lighting " said the LED, because of its unique energy-saving, long life, maintenance-free, easy to control, environmental protection and other features, has become the direction of the positive development of all countries.
 
It is understood that the international eco friendly lighting industry in recent years to maintain 40% growth rate expected in 2008 global light-emitting diode (LED) market will reach $ 5.6 billion. Face enormous opportunities and encouraging eco friendly lighting prospects, countries around the world act, Japan, the United States, European Union, South Korea, have invested heavily in the introduction of the national eco friendly lighting plan.
 
Japan in 1998, the first implementation of the World "21st Century Lighting" program designed by the use of long-life, thinner and lighter blue and ultraviolet GaN efficient eco friendly lighting technology makes energy efficiency improvement is twice that of traditional fluorescent lamps to reduce carbon dioxide produced and completed in 2006 to replace 50 percent of conventional lighting with white light -emitting diode lighting. The program initiated and organized by the Japanese metals research and development center and the new Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, participating institutions include four universities, 13 companies and one association. The entire program budget is 60 billion yen. From 1998-2002, the first phase of the investment goal of 50 billion yen, has now been completed. Now, Japan is implementing the second phase of the project, plans to 2010, LED luminous efficiency of 120lm / w.
 
U.S. " national eco friendly lighting research project" developed by the U.S. Department of Energy, plans to use 10 years, $ 500 million investment in the development of eco friendly lighting, participants including 13 national key laboratories, companies and universities. The purpose of implementation of the plan is to make the United States in the future lighting market competition, ahead of competitors such as Japan, Europe and Korea. Time node plan is 2002 20lm / w, 2007 75lm / w, 2012150lm / w. From 2000 to 2020, the U.S. eco friendly lighting program is expected to achieve the following results: cumulative efficacy and potential savings will reduce the discharge 258 million tons of carbon pollutants. 2025, the use of solid-state lighting will make electricity for lighting reduced by half, saving amounted to $ 35 billion annually.
