In February 2008, Tianjin Economic
Development Area (TEDA) became the first city in China to join the
LED City program.
TEDA partnered with Tianjin Polytechnic
University in a large, student-produced LED street lighting project.
A group of graduate
students helped design and produce 1,500 LED street lights that now
illuminate 15 kilometers along the university’s streets.
“LED lighting not only reduces significantly the amount of energy we use for illumination, it also does not contain toxic materials like mercury and lead. In addition to these benefits, TEDA is supporting the development and manufacturing of high-quality LED fixtures in our region for even greater economic benefit,” said Ai Yaming, TEDA vice chairman.
“LED lighting is the most important new
development for energy and cost savings in
the lighting industry,” noted Pingjuan Niu, Ph.D., Tianjin Polytechnic
University professor. “We are especially proud of these initial successes
and our participation in the LED City program.”

"The City spends substantial amounts of money every year replacing and maintaining lighting. What the LED City initiative means is not necessarily that we will be spending more, but spending more wisely on emerging technology that will save a lot in the long run... The whole point of declaring this public/private initiative is to develop a long-term plan to save money and take advantage of LED technology to spend smartly. The goal is to get the best lighting value for the citizens of Raleigh and serve as a model for other cities seeking to do the same."
Dan Howe,
Deputy City Manager, City of Raleigh, NC
