L.E.D. in Qingdao

7 February 2010

Arrived in China to find that they make quite good use of LED.  Throw on a copy of ‘Autobahn’ by Kraftwerk and check the video.  Our factory told us that they had problems a while back with power shortages and the main reason was that LED was being used for ‘beautification purposes’ and the Chinese cared more that the freeways were properly illuminated than if there were any power surges because of it.  It’s the Studio 54 underpass!
