LEDs with a power rating of 1W and above are expected to become the mainstream light source in mainland China-made outdoor wall lamps within five years. Advancements in related technologies and lower costs are projected to fuel adoption of the diodes, which are already incorporated in 50 percent of output in the LED-fitted category. Greater economies of scale are also anticipated, with the environmental movement fueling demand for solid-state lighting.
