The Hi-tech Park in District 9, Ho Chi Minh city has examined, accepted and put into use 28 wind-and-solar lamp posts installed by Kim Dinh JSC International Group and The Public Lighting Company of Ho Chi Minh city.

These lamp posts use 160W LED bulbs with the brightness equivalent to the popular 400W high pressure lamps. According to Mr. Le Trong Dinh, Kim Dinh’s Chairman of the Board of Management, the life of the LED bulb is up to 50,000 hours and the life of other components is 25 years.

Without using the grid electricity, wind and solar lamps reduce CO2 emission, protect the environment and prevent climate change.

HCM city authorities have examined and approved the proposal of Kim Dinh International Group JSC to install 28 wind-and-solar lamp posts on Nguyen Hue road (District 1), each with two 160W LED bulbs.

Kim Dinh has sponsored the whole project in order to decorate the walking streets and encourage the use of renewable energy. These lamps will be installed in the coming time when the Decision of the People’s Committee is issued.
