  1. How to Replace All Your Household Bulbs with LEDs

    How to Replace All Your Household Bulbs with LEDs
    We can all agree that the best bulb ever is the LED. With a lifespan and efficiency way outstripping any other bulb, there really is no arguing with it. But where do you start when you’re replacing your bulbs when it comes to your home?
  2. Could an LED Revolution Give Us Light Like the Sun?

    Could an LED Revolution Give Us Light Like the Sun?
    Headed by a group of scientists over in Germany, is a project that aims to see whether LED lights can be revolutionised, providing a whiter light in the process. As a direct result of the research undertaken, they have devised a new luminescent material for LED bulbs, with the Phosphor it includes improving energy efficiency and makes the artificial light provided almost as natural as the light provided by the sun.
  3. LEDs and Sustainable Ethos Light Up Glastonbury Once More

    LEDs and Sustainable Ethos Light Up Glastonbury Once More
    Once again, this years Glastonbury Festival has been a resounding success - some minor flooding aside. With around 200,000 people descending upon a small farm in Pilton every year, at first glance at least, the festival seems entirely unsustainable.

  7. Understanding the Science behind LED Lighting Colour Temperature

    Understanding the Science behind LED Lighting Colour Temperature
    There are many obvious benefits to using LED lighting, from substantial energy and cost reductions to longer bulb life and lower overall heat generation, which the majority of people are aware of. However, many people are unaware that the colour temperature of their LED lights impacts the degree to which they are benefited.
  8. LED Adoption Necessary, Government Must Be Stricter

    LED Adoption Necessary, Government Must Be Stricter
    Many nations around the world are currently making the switch from old-fashioned incandescent and halogen bulbs to the more modern, efficient choice of LED light bulbs. In the UK, research shows that around 9 in 10 homes now purchase and use CFL or LED light bulbs, and although these statistics are relatively strong compared to the rest of the world, the UK remains behind Italy for adoption. Therefore, more should be done to explain the advantages of LED and CFL bulbs to make their adoption 10 out of 10 for the UK.
  9. Glasgow Becomes First City to Sign Up For ‘Green’ Street Lights

    Glasgow Becomes First City to Sign Up For ‘Green’ Street Lights
    Glasgow has officially become the first local authority in the UK sign up for a new green loan that will finance the switch to eco-friendly street lighting. At present, the city contains 72,000 sodium lamps, but it is believed that switching these to LED lights will see substantial savings to the city’s current £8.9 million street lighting bill.
  10. London to Be UK Bastion of LED Street Light Conversion

    London to Be UK Bastion of LED Street Light Conversion
    With the Government’s target of 80 percent carbon emissions cut by 2050, it needs to do all it can to reduce the number. One of the simplest ways it can do this is by replacing all old street lights with LED replacements. Following small, successful trials, the Government has committed itself to replacing 35,000 of London’s 52,000 street lights within 10 years, making it a flagship for this kind of project here in the UK.
