There are 21 buildings are beautified with fascinative Lighting for welcoming this Christmas.
Only three buildings are using the Energy Friendly LED as the light source, The rest 18 buildings use up 94,000 incandescent light bulbs. From our estimation during this Christmas holiday those decorative light will consume 1,500.000 KW of power that is approximately the total electricity consumption for 338 families of 4 members each. The CO2 emission will be 1,000 tons.
Worth our appreciation are those three ECO buildings: Regal Kowloon Hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui Centre and Empire Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Solid State LED lighting can be reused for many years, where incandescent light bulbs will be degraded and or spoiled after the rains, many of them can only be used once!

This is a simply, smart, eco, light idea using LED, just one of many I have seen at Tsuen Wan City Hall today. They used a series of Vertical LED chain to light up the Paper folding decorative lighting hood.
Bright, Light, Low cost, ECO and most of all, looks attractive to me that I could not stop taking out my Hand set to make a picture of it.

This is some of the example of LED lamp. The one at the back is 14W 3000K LED Lamp made by one of the best LED compoanies in Penang Malaysia. They are bright, reliable, beautiful and coming out with reasonable price.
The one at the centre is a 4W LED decorative lamp which we can get it from Hong Kong.
These are some of the exampless of the lastest LED lamps.

When the compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) became popular 15 years ago, it was a welcome alternative to the toxic, energy-sucking incandescent bulb used around the world.
The light emitting diode (LED) bulbs were fast on the CFL's heels, and even though they're more durable and efficient, many people have avoided upgrading to LEDs because of the high price.
In late November, Lowes and Osram Sylvania announced plans to introduce what they say is the brightest LED replacement for America's most popular light bulb, the 60-watt incandescent (Intelligent Energy Portal).
The SYLVANIA Ultra A-Line 12-watt LED bulb provides 810 lumens of light while using only 20 percent of the energy required by its predecessor and lasts 25 times as long as a conventional bulb.
Best of all, the current price of the A-Line LED is around $20 - a small price to pay for a light bulb that will probably burn for 20 years without having to be replaced.
The new SLYVANIA bulb is already available on Lowes.com and will be available in all Lowe's stores by mid-2011.
According to Buildaroo.com, "Phillips is now selling a similar LED bulb for one penny less than Sylvania's bulb. Philips' bulb, called the Ambient LED, also uses 12 watts but gives off slightly less light than Sylvania's."

I had just bought Philips LED lighting lamp for replacing my last CFL on one side of living room.
It consists of three sets of LED modules, each LED modules should have three LEDs, looks like to be Luxeon Rebels. The power supply is mounted in the centre portion of the lighting fixture. That can effectively isolate from the heat energy of the LED. Thus to prolong the life time of the LED.
It is warm white and Bright enough for the room.
Price wise is about 6 times more expensive that the similar deign made of CLF. It was HKD$3,500.00 including installation. Well, It can reduce 360Kgs Co2 in 20 years of Operation.
Let me see how long this LED lamp can last, I am feeling alright as it save power evey time it is on.

Philips masterLED has been in Market for year, juts until now, we can see they are on sales in Hong Kong. As I have been asking, only with limited stick for sales.
This is a good sign as we can see more and more people is eager to spend more for high quality LED lighting product. Price is still high as compared with CFL. Most of the people knows what CFL is and I have observed that not too many people is aksing for LED Lighting fixture, as they are generally 5 times more expensive. This is the Display Philips LED lighting bulbs on sales in a Lighting Shop in Tsuen Wan.
All are made with Rebel LED, manufactured with Highest Quality attention in Penang Malaysia.
I believe that production of Rebel will be expanded 1.5X in 2011 to meet the market demand.

This is the latest and largest example of investment and state support for the LED market in Russia. A Russia-based LED manufacturer, the Optogan has opened a new manufacturing plant in St. Petersburg, which has benefited from an overall investment of EUR 80 million ( 3.35 billion rubles).
The facility, which is the largest LED component and module factory in the Eastern Europe and CIS region, was opened by Sergey Ivanov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation.
The factory will employ up to 800 people and covers 15,000 sq.m of floor space, including 5000 sq.m under a clean-room environment. The first production line has an annual production capacity of 360 million LEDs.
Optogan says that the opening of this new high-tech factory in Russia marks another step forward in the modernization and globalization of the Russian economy.
Optogan was founded in 2004 by three Russian scientists in Helsinki, Finland. Since 2005 Optogan GmbH has been developing chip technologies in Dortmund, Germany and chip production in Landshut, Germany. In late 2008, Optogan was acquired by Onexim Group, a private investment fund which is Optogan’s major shareholder. Other shareholders are Rusnano, a state investment fund, and the regional Republican Investment Company (RIC). The Optogan Group manufactures LED chips, packaged emitters, and LED lamps and luminaires.
Opening ceremony
As well as Deputy Prime Minister Ivanov, the ceremony was attended by Valentina Matvienko, Governor of St. Petersburg; Yegor Borisov, President of Russia’s Sakha Republic (Yakutiya); Anatoliy Chubais, General Director of Rusnanotech; Mikhail Prokhorov, President, Onexim Group and a large audience of well-known representatives from the world of politics, research and industry.
The three founders of Optogan – Maxim Odnoblyudov, Vladislav Bougrov and Alexey Kovsh – introduced the production facilities and demonstrated Optogan’s highly-efficient LED lamps and explained about energy savings and the avoidance of hazardous substances.
Maxim Odnoblyudov, President of Optogan Group, noted that the launch of the factory is a major step in the company’s development. Vladislav Bougrov, General Director of the newly opened factory, said that only the first production line had actually been opened with a production volume of 30 million LEDs a month.
LED assembly lines.
“LEDs produced in St. Petersburg will be sold in Russia and abroad to produce luminaries.”
Against the trend to establish new LED production facilities solely in the Far East like China, Optogan has found a suitable legislative and infrastructural environment to establish high-tech manufacturing in Russia to enabling high-volume LED output at competitive costs.
Rusnano, the state fund providing investment for technology projects in the Russian Federation, has provided support for the company and is one of the major shareholders. “The key goal of Rusnano is to develop modern production facilities based on leading international scientific knowledge, ensuring they can compete globally,” said General Director of Rusnano, Anatoly Chubais.
“The opening of Optogan’s factory is one of the major synergies of science and business," continued Chubais. "Technology based on the work of Nobel prize winner Zhores Alferov has been transformed into mass production, making this a first step in the development of a new energy efficient economy and development of the lighting industry in Russia.”
Mikhail Prokorov, President of the main shareholder Onexim Group, said: “Onexim's strategy is to invest in these types of innovative companies, which can produce quality products and win a major market share in Russia, as well as [having] the potential to grow globally. We are sure that, thanks to this type of production, our country has all the opportunities to develop on the global markets.”
I think Optogan will take a 5 years to ramp and to meet the huge internal consumpion before they can export their product. As 35 Million units a month is consider "Dwarf" as compared with any of mid size LED company in China.
