Business gets behind LEDS

A subsidiary of global lighting manufacturer, has announced an official company focus on eco-friendly, energy efficient LED lighting.
LEDs have considerable potential for increases in brightness and efficiency, and can deliver even more potential energy savings than traditional light sources. LEDs are the most energy-efficient light sources available, as they can currently be five times more efficient than incandescent lamps, and are expected to be ten times more efficient in the future. Because they are point light sources, LEDs’ directional light helps reduce light pollution, thereby eliminating scattered, wasted light. With artificial lighting accounting for approximately 19% of global electricity consumption, replacing conventional light sources with efficient light sources such as LEDs could cut global electricity consumption for lighting in half.
    Double-figure growth is forecast for the LED market. As the technical performance of LEDs increases and their manufacturing costs decrease, LEDs will come to dominate more and more applications for which they offer significant energy savings and reduced overall costs. These applications include consumer electronics, automobiles, public sector/street lighting and solar energy applications. These will give a big boost to the LED market.
