the new LED street lights signal a true improvement for the Distric

When it comes to city planning, smart infrastructure saves lives and dollars," said Jim Haworth, chairman and chief executive officer of Lighting Science Group. "The Mayor's office, DDOT and DDOE are clearly united in their commitment to promoting both the safety and financial interests of District residents with their joint vision for a Sustainable D.C. Lighting Science Group is proud to play its part in bringing that vision to life. Our PROLIFIC Series roadway solutions offer notably longer-life expectancies than the District's existing lights and real reductions in maintenance and energy costs. With less glare and better illumination, uniformity, and color, the new LED street lights signal a true improvement for the District."

The District Department of the Environment (DDOE) supported and funded the LED lighting project, under the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Efficient and Conservation Block Grant program. Eventually DDOT plans to install energy-efficient light fixtures throughout D.C., including all of its alleys, streets, bridges, tunnels and underpasses, pedestrian walkways, bike and running trails.

They will display their latest products ranging from epitaxy wafer and sapphire to packages and lighting fixtures at over 200 booths. Around 60 buyers from 18 economies, including India, Turkey, Russia, South Africa and Singapore, will shop among them.

According to Photonics Industry and Technology Development Association (PIDA), it has enrolled around 10% more exhibitors than 2011 event. 61% of the buyers will come for LED lighting modules and lighting fixtures. In addition, a mainland Chinese trade delegation composed of around 100 LED specialists and enterprises is invited. Forums are also arranged with topics addressing LED horticulture lighting, OLED lighting technology, market development, and so on.
