Taiwan Wants to Establish LED Streetlight Standards by 2009 May 29, 2008... Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) reportedly hopes to accelerate reaching a set of standards for LED street lamps, according to an article in Digitimes. The MOEA reportedly expects to publish its first set of standards during Q1 2009, the article indicated. The agency in part hopes to catch up with the progress of governments from other countries. In 2007, the MOEA reportedly created an alliance to help establish LED lighting standards and hold quality reviews in 2007. Wednesday, the alliance introduced five related protocols, which will be sent for review by the Bureau of Standards, Meteorology and Inspection (BSMI). According to the published protocols, LED street lamps will be required to deliver a life-cycle of 20,000 hours. Additionally, a device operating continuously for 11 hours per day, will be required to carry a life-cycle of five years. The agency is targeting the end of 2008 as the time for the complete review of 11 protocols (which includes standards for in-door LED lighting applications) by year-end 2008. The MOEA expects to release its finalized standards in March 2009. See the Current Industry News Summary
