interested in taking advantage of the recent energy shift in the country

According to Frost & Sullivan, a market research company, the LED lamp industry in Germany is expected to produce a compound annual growth rate of 27 percent between 2008 and 2018. Many municipalities in Germany see 50 percent of total energy costs being devoted to lighting. Newly installed Led linear high bay light fixtures have the potential to bring down energy used in street lighting by 80 percent.

"There is a call for foreign investment to support increasing LED installations. Germany provides an excellent infrastructure and a skilled workforce for international companies interested in taking advantage of the recent energy shift in the country," concluded Schoo.
