LED

The tour production manager of Radiohead discusses their (gorgeous) LED lighting.

The LED industry is a growing industry; the LED (Light Emitting Diode) has proven itself to be an effective substitute for traditional bulbs. The main production and consumption of LEDs are in the USA, Europe, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, China and South East Asia.

Another win for LED bulbs: Anchorage, Alaska plans to replace 16,000 streetlight fixtures—a quarter of all the streetlight fixtures in the city—with LEDs.

On our way to cheaper LEDs, can't wait to actually get some at a decent price!

  LEDs to illuminate artworks: an interesting and quite unique application with LEDs, where  technology and art do mixes well togheter.

Spazialis has created a spectacular Cross of Light  in the centre of a wonderful glass sculpture by great artist Mario Ceroli in the new portal of the Church of Portorotondo.

New national standards could bring down cost of LED lights drastically.

LED Panel Desk Lamp uses an electronic ballast to stop power drain when you turn off the lamp. A typical LED Desk Lamp uses 8 watts even when it's off while ours only uses 0.40 watts! Electronic ballast consumes less than 1/2 watt when turned off, unlike other LED adapter-powered lamps. Meets the California Energy Commission updated standards for power consumption of external power supplies. RoHS Certification.

The folks at Advanced Lumonics sure seem confident in their new EarthLED EvoLux R LED light bulb, with them even going so far as to flatly declare it the "world's most advanced light bulb."

Ever wonder how many Huggers it takes to change a light bulb? No? Well, ever wonder the real cost difference between incandescent, CFL, and LED light bulbs? Here's a wiki article that looks at the cost of ownership of these different light bulbs that takes into account the initial cost of the bulb, its energy consumption, its light output, its lifetime length, and the cost of electricity.

Light-protection-system, designed by Manuel Perez Prada of Germany, is friendly to the environment because of the use of electrical induction technique. Energy is produced by movement of the human body. It also includes the development of a multifunctional clip-system, so that the lights can be used in various ways and situations for protection.

New entry in what seems now emerging as a sort of global competition, between large and small cities, to seize the primacy of being the first in the world to use LED technology for public lighting.

It's the time for London , as reported ,on sunday 9 march 2008, by the Independent.

Some reports say that now nothing can stand in the way of LEDs. With the nanocrystal coating, the LEDs are more efficient than the fluorescent light, are warmer and produce a very beautiful white light. These LEDs are greener considering the fact that a quarter of the electricity in U.S.

Its an obvious statement but I’m going to say it anyways, technology really is amazing. When you reflect about how far some daily aspects of our lives have come, it astounds me! This hit me when I came across the news that, yet again, lightbulbs have taken another efficient step forwards. At the moment it isn’t financially practical for companies to implement this development, but nothing is when it is first discovered.

I have the privilege to show to the public: the first ever official electricity bill , that come from a green energy installation for pubblic lighting. A copy of the bill it is even available for download - (just click the red sentence at the bottom of their blog page.) that show the huge saving of money that has been collected by the town of Torraca,

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) describes a new block grant program to provide funds to cities and towns to allow the localities to experiment with new environmental and energy-saving initiatives.
