The lighting industry is shining brightly in the push to produce environmentally friendly products.
Many countries are urging the wide use of energy efficient lighting and encouraging manufacturers to produce more low-energy and eco-friendly products.
'The lighting fair's exhibits will cater for this trend, with the focus on environmental protection, greater energy efficiency and a longer lifetime of products such as solar lights and LED [light-emitting diode] lamps with low power consumption,' said Raymond Yip, Hong Kong Trade Development Council's assistant executive director.
Some lighting products provide the choice of krypton, halogen or fluorescent bulbs, which are more energy efficient than traditional bulbs.
Some lamps are being developed by replacing electrodes and filaments with fluorescent powders. Integrated electronic compact fluorescent lamps can reduce power consumption while lasting longer than traditional lamps.
LED lights are becoming increasingly popular for indoor lighting and hand-held products because of their low power consumption.
