Favorable policies contribute to the development of LED Tube lights industry

Since 2011， the German new cars and small trucks has been a mandatory requirement to install headlights, while buses and large trucks also needed to install the headlights in 2012. If these headlights use LED Tube lights, illumination will not only increase , but can save power consumption even if opening for a long time. Meanwhile, the demand for automotive interior LED Tube lights is also increasing .
3, ” Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)” will enable the implementation of demand for LED Tube lights such as outdoor LED flood light alternating to traditional lighting surge.
