Watt Solid State Lighting CO., LTD. recently donated 14 smart LED street lights to National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST) to help brighten up the campus at night. The street lights, which were installed around the Department of Plant Industry and the Department of Plant Medicine, received positive feedback from teachers and students who said that they made walking on campus at night safer and more convenient.
At the donation ceremony which was held on May 14, 2025, NPUST President Chin-Lung Chang expressed his gratitude to Watt Solid State Lighting, saying “these LED street lights have excellent energy-saving benefits and match well with concepts that the university has been promoting for many years, including both Green university policies and sustainable development. What is even more valuable is that they can be monitored in real time and automatically adjusted through the Internet of Things according to sunlight intensity. They are also being used in agriculture research and have helped improve research and teaching efficiency. We hope that both sides can work together on more levels in the future to create a sustainable future.”
The general manager of Watt Solid State Lighting expressed that he was “very honored to have the opportunity to give back to NPUST, and would also like to thank Assistant Professor Hsing-Ying Chung from the Department of Plant Industry for holding exchanges and providing technical guidance. We are very pleased to see that our products can play a role in daily campus life and scientific research. We look forward to deepening our cooperation in the future and jointly promoting green innovation.”
The smart LED street lights donated by Watt are equipped with sensing and energy-saving technologies. Their features include automatic light adjustment, long operating life, high brightness and low power consumption. By effectively reducing energy usage, they embody concepts of environmental protection. The smart sensing functions can automatically adjust the lighting intensity according to the ambient brightness and human traffic, giving consideration to both safety and efficiency. With the support of Walt Solid State Lighting, NPUST has improved its campus environment and is also expanding its industry-university cooperation and practice of social responsibility.
