What is the latest technology in lighting?
Lights will turn into data today and a new technology called LiFi like WiFi will be an emerging trend of 2020. Lights will be now used for light as well as communication. This technology will transform your shops, museums and indoor spaces into the high tech places where the new system will be created.
When was led lights a trend?
Since the 1970s, many more efficient light sources have been introduced but none as innovative as the LED. In the short time LEDs have been in the marketplace, their technology has rapidly evolved.
How long do LED Globes last for?
A halogen downlight has a lifespan of roughly 2 years or 2,000 hours. Some LEDs can last up to 100,000 hours! This means there is actually a good chance that you will never need to replace the globes in your home if you live there for less than 20 years.
How has LED lighting technology changed over the years?
Let’s take a brief look at the iterations LED lighting technology has gone through in the decades since: LEDs got their start as indicator lights for circuit boards and small electrical equipment. Early specimens were very durable, had a relatively low lumens output, and accordingly were very energy efficient.
How is LED lighting different from other lighting sources?
LED lighting is very different from other lighting sources such as incandescent bulbs and CFLs. Key differences include the following: Light Source: LEDs are the size of a fleck of pepper, and a mix of red, green, and blue LEDs is typically used to make white light.
Where are LEDs used in everyday life?
Industrial and Commercial Lighting The high efficiency and directional nature of LEDs makes them ideal for many industrial uses. LEDs are increasingly common in street lights, parking garage lighting, walkway and other outdoor area lighting, refrigerated case lighting, modular lighting, and task lighting.
What is LED lighting and how does it work?
LED is a highly energy efficient lighting technology, and has the potential to fundamentally change the future of lighting in the United States. Residential LEDs — especially ENERGY STAR rated products — use at least 75\% less energy, and last 25 times longer, than incandescent lighting.
