LED light strings were sold across the province

Under its  Power Smart conservation program,BC Hydro, gave the new lights to Van-Dusen and business improvement associations throughout B.C., which passed them on to retailers to test drive led high bay light before they hit the market the following year. Soon the city was abuzz with talk of the beautiful new lights.

Beginning in 2003, Power Smart incentivized switching to the new lights with coupon rebates for new LED strings in exchange for any incandescent strings that were traded in. That year, more than 450,000 LED light strings were sold across the province.

Fast forward to 2011 and Mathot said Power Smart has toned down its efforts at promoting the lights, partly because 45 per cent of B.C. families have at least one LED Christmas light strand. Of those families, most own an average of about six strands each, Mathot said.

Since the group’s LED road lighting products won the bid of the Project of Three National Ministries, it has obtained the Product Certificate and China Certificate for Energy Conservation Product issued by China Quality Certification Centre (CQC), which is an official recognition to the Group’s LED road lighting products in accordance with the Law of the People's Republic of China on Product Quality.
