The Sustainable Public Lighting Strategy is now being implemented by the Abu Dhabi City Municipality to contribute to at least a 60 per cent reduction in power usage, 75 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and a reduction in maintenance works by 40 – 80 per cent in the future.
The improved performance capabilities and cost reduction of LED’s and other high-efficiency light sources is boosting demand for these products across all sectors. According to a report by the Centre for Industrial Studies the UAE lighting industry is now worth US$336 million and is expected to grow by 5 per cent in 2013 and by 10 per cent in 2014.
