the world have visited the Nela Park campus for training and education

In addition to being the nation’s first industrial campus and GE Lighting’s world headquarters, the Nela Park property was once a vineyard known as “Panorama Heights.” Chosen for what was then a rural location, the 92-acre campus sits approximately 234 feet above—and three miles from—Lake Erie. The “Nela” in the park’s name stands for “National Electrical Lamp Association,” an organization that was eventually purchased by GE. On April 18, 1913, GE Lighting moved its headquarters from a downtown location at East 45th Street and Hough Avenue to Nela Park in a caravan of cars and horse-drawn carriages. At the time, the move was known as one of the biggest in Cleveland’s history. Not only was it completed in a day, but employees only missed three hours of work. Since its establishment, Nela Park has been home to a number of innovations including both halogen and LED technologies. In 1975 Nela Park was listed in the National Registry of Historic Places.

Since the founding of the Nela School of Lighting in 1924—it became the GE Lighting Institute in 1933—over a quarter million customers from around the world have visited the Nela Park campus for training and education. Approximately 4,000 customers visit Nela Park and the GE Lighting Institute annually.

According to an assessment released by the MOEA's Bureau of Energy, since the start of 2012, the government has been pushing for the installation of LED street lights to help the LED sector build a supply chain and create clusters of manufacturers. Under the projects, the government is expected to spend about NT$2.8 billion to install more than 326,000 LED street lights around the island.

The production value of the local LED lighting sector in 2011 jumped to NT$186.7 billion from NT$93.9 billion in 2009, the bureau said. And based on the government's efforts, the production value of the LED streetlight sector is expected to account for 20 percent of the global total by 2018.
