Latest market intelligence report released by LEDinside reveals lighting-use market shrinked up to 16% and backlighting LED products market up to 13% in 4Q14.

UK Leicestershire County plans to convert sodium light to LED streetlights with a budget of GRB 25 million (US $39.2 million), while Taiwan leads the world phasing out outdated streetlights with LEDs spending NTD 5.79 billion (US $177.7 million) in the next two years.
