manufacturers are advantageous over international patent holders in terms of cost efficiency

John resides in McDonough, GA with his wife and three sons. He currently serves as the vice chair of the Street and LED Linear high bay light Committee for the Illuminating Engineer Society and will take the chairman's role in 2011.In Wu’s opinion, the keys for LED-lighting manufacturers to win are distribution channel and cost efficiency. And Taiwan`s manufacturers are advantageous over international patent holders in terms of cost efficiency.

In an effort to create the distribution channel advantage, Unity Opto has been vigorously seeking partnership with retailers in Europe, mainland China and Japan. Reportedly, it has won led high bay light contracts from several Spanish retailers and 30 hotel chains in Europe.

Industry executives estimated each of the hotel chains would contract Unity Opto to supply NT$30 million (US$1 million) of LED lighting products a month.Wu predicted that the time for investors of LED commercial lights to see investment return has shortened to two years, based on the tendency that lights for commercial buildings like offices, factories, parking lots and shops would dominate the LED-lighting market in 2011.
