The event achieved an overwhelmingly positive response from supporting organisations and attendees. Sharing his views on the trends of smart lighting and lighting technology innovations was Mr Chen Yansheng, Senior Engineer and Vice President & Secretary General of China Association of Lighting Industry. He summarised: “LEDs are an important technology in the green lighting business, and will be widely embraced by China’s building industry. Meanwhile, the country’s smart lighting market will also experience fast growth in the near future. The platform was good for interaction and idea exchange among building and lighting professionals. I believe the conference was valuable to the industry.”
Mr Zhongming Shu, ECS & VDI Product Manager of Schneider Electric (China) Co Ltd Shanghai Branch, and a guest speaker of the conference also commented: “This was an important event for the industry.
