Since 2010, global LED lighting has been developing rapidly and policies have been introduced in several countries to promote its application. Our country launched a series of LED lighting application promotion measures, such as "ten city wan light", the national development and reform commission jointly with the housing urban-rural development, ministry of transport for semiconductor lighting products application demonstration project bidding, etc., the most attention to the LED lighting lamps and lanterns price subsidy policy has been raised, LED lighting lamps and lanterns has gradually entered a stage of large-scale application.

Our country illume market size is large, the product is given priority to with incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp and so on traditional illuminant lamps and lanterns. LED lighting is less than 1 percent of the general lighting market, and is far from mainstream lighting. LED lighting application in our country except the street light, tunnel light, etc, used more, as a whole, application behind Europe and the United States, Japan and other major lighting markets, also need to support and promote the application market. In addition, there is still a shortage of specific implementations of standards and specifications in terms of the requirements of the market, and have caused obstacles to the promotion of LED lighting applications.

The lighting industry foundation is very strong, our country is the world’s largest lighting source and the producer of lamps and lanterns. According to statistics, China lighting association in 2010, the national 3.8 billion incandescent lamp production, fluorescent lamp production in 6.69 billion, straight fluorescent lamps for only 1.83 billion, 1.8 billion ring type fluorescent lamp, CFL 4.43 billion only. In 2010, the national production of HID lamp was 174m, including 56m high-voltage mercury lamps, 54m high-voltage sodium lamps and 63 million metal halide lamps. China’s at the same time, the consumption of the lighting lamps and lanterns is mainly composed of domestic production enterprises, import products in the domestic share of less than 5%, while nearly 70% of the domestic production for export. Good lighting industry basis not only for the domestic market of LED lighting lamps and lanterns application provides a reliable product supply, also for the domestic LED lighting industry through scale effect to enhance the LED lighting lamps and lanterns price provides very good support.
