Outdoor lighting: Spotlight on LEDs

Outdoor lighting is no stranger to revolution. In fact, today it's one of the two most dynamic general lighting market segments for LED adoption. Within the segment, architectural lighting was the early adopter, but the main driver these days is definitely road and street lighting. Historically the largest outdoor segment, it now offers the best prospects for LED development in professional exterior lighting. Road and street lighting is a very attractive market, with EBIT levels generally between 5-15 percent and steady growth despite the economic downturn.
