Recently, Taiwan`s major LED munafacturers including Chairman Y.F. Yeh of Everlight, Chairman B.J. Lee of Epistar and Delta Electronics executives have show their views for the LED lighting industry at the Photonics Festival Taiwan 2011.

According to Epistar`s Lee , the efficiency of LED lamps previously forecast to be achieved in 2015 will be reached in 2012, based on buyers from the world come to mostly purchase LED lamps at this show .

For Everlight`s Yeh, he believes that the March 11 catastrophe reminds people of the importance of nuclear power security and energy saving, inspiring people to embrace LED lamps. He notes that LED lamps can save an average 80% of electricity relative to incandescent and can help save 1.5 nuclear power plants in Taiwan when all lamps are replaced by LEDs.  Yeh expects his company to land two to three folds more orders from Europe this year than last year.

Delta Electronics executives disclose that three LED lamps that are equivalent to 60W incandescent bulbs for only NT$1,000 (US$34.4 at US$1: NT$29), only half current prices, will soon be available.
