"It's not so tight as in Europe or the U.S. As long as you have good relationships with the leaders, anything can happen."
Also auguring well for the rapid take-up of new lighting technology, Wu points out, is that China's infrastructure is still a work in progress. "The whole country is like a construction site," she says.
"In the U.S. I'm not going to go to the Marriott Hotel and have them change their whole electrical system," Walker explains. "In China I get to go to a guy who's building a new hotel and say, ‘Design your building around LEDs.'"
