Taiwan state-financed Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) has set up a partnership Tuesday among local companies to use LED technology to improve the quality and quantity of local agricultural and livestock products.According to the ITRI, it expected to draw participation of over 70 led high bay light and the farming sector to help nurture technology application capabilities in old economy industries.
Chan Yi-jen, general director of the institute's Electronics and Optoelectronic Research Laboratories, at a press conference, thought that the LED technology could help improve some agricultural applications, such as the control of lighting that would have a positive impact on animals and plants.The partnership is also expected to lead to the integration of industry and government resources, increasing the competitiveness of Taiwan's farming, fishing and livestock industries with advanced LED technologies.
Now, nearly 200 trees have their trunks wrapped in thousands of lights. After the city originally planned to keep the trees wrapped year-round, the San Antonio Conservation Society has prompted a move.However, a city forester assured them they wouldn't stay on forever.Nancy Hamner Avellar, president of the society, said "The trees will be unwrapped every three years so there should be no problems with stunting their growth."
While the society doesn't work in concert with the city in regards to the lighting project, it has brought up other concerns including the stringing of lights along the bridges over the river, many of which are historic.The lights strung along the bridges this year are temporary and rest on plastic tracks. The holiday lights will stay lit through Sunday, January 8. The city's downtown operations director Paula Stallcup said the city has had discussions with Paseo del Rio and River Walk businesses to possibly allow them to light up some of the remaining unlit trees along the river between the historic section and La Villita.
