"In addition to the resources added this year, we plan to further capitalize on the markets' potential in 2006 by increasing our direct sales force, adding new resellers, and extending our partner presence to Shanghai, among other initiatives," said Bill Sims, President and CEO, Color Kinetics.
"With continuing economic growth in the region, we're seeing a major construction boom in business-centric cities like Shanghai, where the number of office buildings is significantly rising, and travel destinations like Macau, where massive casinos and hotels are in development," Sims added.
"Moreover, with all the new construction planned for the 2008 Olympic Games and World Expo 2010, we view the Chinese market as a tremendous opportunity to showcase the capabilities of Color Kinetics' technology on a global stage".
According to the China Solid-State Lighting Alliance, China is the world's second largest electricity-generating country, with 12% of its total electricity attributed to lighting.
In 2004 the Chinese government selected solid-state lighting as one of ten programs in its next five-year plan to promote energy efficiency.
The solid-state lighting program promotes the use of high-efficiency lighting systems in public facilities, hotels, shopping centers, office buildings, and sports venues, as well as in developing automated production facilities.
Today many Color Kinetics customers realize energy savings by employing intelligent solid-state lighting in place of conventional sources for colored lighting applications.
As LEDs continue to increase in performance while coming down in price, Color Kinetics' systems will become more applicable to general illumination, and therefore allow even greater potential for energy savings on a broad scale.
