Almost 130 years after being patented by Thomas Edison, the conventional light bulb is heading for the recycling bin. It is being replaced by LED (light emiting diode) lighting which are energy efficient, smaller, faster switching and have longer life spans than normal light bulbs. First invented in Russia in the 1920s, LED lights are being adopted in a wide range of electronics, household products and in homes. In fact, the European commission has recommended the banning of traditional light bulbs as of 2012. Australia, New Zealand and Canada have already done so with President Obama making similar proposals in his infrastructure programme. LED is the eco choice of the future.

Over the past few years, technology for LEDs (Light emitting diodes) have advanced so dramatically that the widespread use of these lightings range from traffic lights, cell phones, aviation, shipping, auto to video screens. The applications for LEDs today are endless and will continue to grow together with the advancement in technology.

Benefits

Consuming only about 15-25% of the power required by regular lighting sources, LEDS are very energy efficient. For instance, a regular traffic light with a light bulb consumes 150W, but with the application of LEDs, this reduces the energy consumption to 10W. This actually translates into a relatively huge amount in energy savings.

Lifetime of LEDs range from 35,000 to more than 50,000 hours, depending on the type and usage – this would equal to over 5 years of 24hours operation per day. Consequently, replacement cost of LEDs is also reduced to a minimum for the customer.

Durability

LEDs are very durable and tough due to advanced construction. They are very resistant to shocks and vibrations and any outside influences. This robustness makes LEDs highly suitable for the most demanding installations indoors and outdoors.

Environmental Advantages

LEDs are low energy products which reduce carbon emissions. They do not contact sulphur or mercury content like other light sources. They are an eco-friendly product for disposal, contributing actively to the protection of the environment.

    The problem I have with LED household lighting at the moment is that there are too many throwaway designs on the market. The LED “bulbs” are permanently fixed within the light fixture. When they wear out, you throw the whole light fitting away! Now that cannot be a good thing.
