Wei Feng, The China No. 1 LED City

According to Latest Shan Dong news on the latest Wei Feng High Tech LED general illumination project was approved by China as the special National Grade Semi Conductor illumination as the First City. After Wei Feng City has been granted the Ten City Ten Thousand Lamp Project “十城万盏” last year. Which is the Only City was granted this approval in the Whole Shan Dong province.

Wei Feng has been support by these major LED players such as AOD (Advanced Optronic Devices China Co. Ltd 中微光电子, Inspur Huaguang Optoelectronics Co浪潮华光, Geortek 歌尔光电…Specially AOD who had spent effort in building those Street Lamp for Wei Feng City.

Wei Feng City has install 30,000 Street Lamps and will be attaining 100,000 Lamps in 2011 this ensure Wei Feng City will be the Hottest City For LED in China under the Ten City Ten Thousand Lamp Project “十城万盏”

Wei Feng City is one of the four fundamental programme in Shan Dong Province. And Shan Dong has a target to make Wei Feng to be the China LED City by supporting these Players such as Inspur HuaGuang and other LED manufacturers by incentives and numerous subsidization in land and power resources. And Government would like to further supporting from them and make Government is the largest buyer for the LED Street Lamps. Moreover other Cities are also spending millions for inverting for building LED factory using the best in the LED equipment in the industry for their LED manufacturing. I have seen one whole new factory in the South part of Shan Xiang that they have 400 acres of land with total investment of over 1 Billion of RMB in the factory, We soon will see their first LED street lamp and Back light unit will be rolled off from the production line in End of August.


Haier, a China giant of Air Con, Refrigerators and domestic Electronics appliance colossus in China is building their LED manufacturing line in Dong Ying City and that will soon be one of the major LED supplier in the Shan Dong area. Their initial product is the LED back light unit for Haier LCD TVs.
These are the recent city outlooks whilst I was there last week.
I am looking forward to see ing Wei Feng City to be the largest China LED City in 2011.

Wei Feng, Shan Tung, the 2nd LED City in China

More and more LED City concepts driven by commercial decision as part of the promotion on creating more revenues by means of Selling LEDs, LEDs application and production. Government Subsidies and regulation (e.g. EISA 2007, EU regulations, Title 24 in California will be important in market Development).
Whereas in China. We are aware of his superfast economy and industrial development, as in less than 10 years time, China will be the World No. 1 in electronics consumer market, Automobile consumer, Oil consumption… and probably the World Richest Country.


China is doing all kind of promotions in the energy saving awareness; we have to go Green in the electrical home appliance, Reduction of emission by banning the use of incandescent lamp.
In China we can see a lot of LEDs, practically 100% Traffic lamps are lit up by Solid State LED, whereas almost “Zero LED” in Hong Kong… what a shame to the Government of Hong Kong!

There is the first LED City Tianjin, and by time I went to Wei Feng where it is about 300 Km from Qingdao of Shan Tung Province,… A lot of LEDs, I think this is not officially announced as the 2nd LED City in China… To me , this is in fact a LED city.

This is some of my snap shots taken by the Nokia N97 mini cameras…I the past few days when I was there for meeting the prominent manufacturers for LED bonding equipment promotions.

LED City

Cree, an U.S.-based Light Emitting Diode company and the City of Raleigh Durham, the anchor city in a rapidly growing metro area, announced a joint city-wide initiative to test, deploy and promote LED technology focused on a variety of general lighting applications on Feb., 2007.

The “LED City” initiative is designed to create a “living laboratory” to deliver the economic, environmental and usage benefits of LED lighting to the residents of Raleigh. The first project is focused on validating both the cost savings and technology capabilities of LEDs through an installation of LED lighting in the City’s Municipal Building parking deck.

Both Cree and Raleigh public officials expect the initiative to serve as a model for other cities that are considering implementing energy-efficient infrastructures. Now there a more than 10 LED cities including City of Toronto, Tian Jin of China, Torraca of Italy, and Gwang Ju of Korea are some of the Cities participating in this programme. The LED City is a way to promote using more effcient energy to reduce CO2 emission.

Besides, Some of the Asian country are the pioneers of supporting s Greener world by employing LED in the Cities, Singapore and Japan, a pedigree of environmental supporting countries, has been using close to 100% LED in the Traffic display and Traffic light, China has been intensively using LED for the traffic light and Traffic signage, where as Hong Kong is running backwards, there is close to 0% of LED on the traffic Light.

I am afraid that Hong Kong might be the last City to change LED for the traffic light in Asia.

On the other hand, HK Electric Lamma Power Station at Lamma Island has a total Capacity 3735MW. In 2008, power station’s coal fired unit generated approx. 83% of electricity where gas fired unit generated 17%. Hong Kong is not advance at all in term of Green Power utlization!

Every day, tons of sinter ashes are being generated and that would degrade the quality of air!
