What Is The Future Of LED Lighting?
Depleting resources will mean energy conservation being the buzz word in 2015. Both residential and commercial lighting systems are moving to light emitting diodes (LED) technology and the reason for this is that they are more energy efficient. LED lights last far longer than incandescent lights. What is the future of LED lighting in 2015 and beyond? The future is excellent for the LED bulb, and with LED lighting prices falling each year, their future is brighter than ever. LED manufacturers are able to reduce costs because they increase the brightness of LEDs. This simply means you don't need as many LEDs and hence the reduction in cost.
LEDs make light from semiconductors whereas the regular incandescent bulb makes light from a heated filament. They use some 8.5 per cent less power than incandescent bulbs and they don't contain mercury. LED in the semiconductor produces blue light, but when phosphors are put on top of the semiconductor, the light is converted into white light.
The LED Show to Demonstrate Latest Lighting Technology
Incandescent bulbs are being phased out and bulb companies such as General Electric and Philips Electronics are producing LED. In the space of just a few years, the use of LEDs for general lighting purposes is set to increase to more than 50 per cent of the lighting market.
When you consider that the basic LED bulb will save consumers significantly in energy costs each year, and that they can last for as long as 20/30 years, then the future of LEDs look most optimistic. There is even the LED Show kicking off early in 2015 in Las Vegas where the latest in LED technology will be demonstrated. All LED lighting issues and solutions will be made clear by lighting professionals and there will also be exciting and informative workshops.
Light for the World
There is no doubt that the LED white lighting market is booming, more so because companies benefit from subsidies and tax breaks for using these low energy lights. LED white lighting is set to take over the world, and because of this; retailers are even expanding their LED light product offerings as the performance of LED lights improve even further and prices have never been so good.
