China leads the United States in the lighting revolution.

China began pouring money into LED projects in 2003, to "facilitate a shift from CFL manufacturing to LED lighting," the Swedish Energy Agency and National Lighting Test Center in Beijing said in a presentation in May.Shopatron's superior led tube 5-point shopping experience is focused on rich product information, world-class service, effortless shopping The nation plans to create a million LED-related jobs. Chinese provinces subsidize manufacturers, and cities buy LEDs for street lighting, helping the industry.

Chinese government officials realized that China could produce the lamps, but others held the core technology — actual LED chips that produce light based on quantum mechanical equations. China set about to change that.

The research paper said Beijing established a strategy "to attract all the leading LED chip manufacturers to establish production facilities in China."

That appears to be working.

In 2009, Cree Inc., a major LED producer based in North Carolina, bought a manufacturing facility in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, that houses Cree's first chip production outside the United States. More than half of Cree's 4,000-plus employees work in China, according to the company.

When signing the deal, Huizhou's Communist Party Secretary YeBin Huang said: "We will do our best to support Cree through government projects, as well as government policies."

"China is our largest customer,The bulb is General Electric Co.'s entry Book scanner into the field of light-emitting diode, or LED" said Cree spokeswoman Michelle Murray. "We decided to grow the business where (business) is." She said the incentives helped.

Cree said that in 2010, "the company was awarded a tax holiday in China, which allows for 0% tax for three years starting in fiscal 2011.SST-50 1200umen Rechargeable diving flashlight flashlight extremely bright, long throwing beam 100 meters diving" In a March filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Cree said China could offer it tax rebates, "favorable lending policies and other measures."

Bridgelux, a Silicon Valley start-up billing itself as the "first, new U.S.-based LED manufacturer in the past 20 years," opened a plant last year. CEO William Watkins said Northern California offers advantages.

"You have access here to a very talented work force," he said. "It is Silicon Valley; you can always find someone here who knows something about anything."

Yet, he said, China's industrial policy offers great incentives for chip makers.

"We haven't made a decision, but we're always open to possibilities," he said of the chance that Bridgelux would expand there.
