How LEDs Are Changing Design - from glowing wallpaper to hackable chandeliers

With their 'Power-saving' character and revolutionary technology, the LEDs have taken over competition in the Lighting segment. These customer-friendly alternatives to the traditional fluorescent bulbs have gone places by changing designs and showcasing innovation. Read on about some remarkable LED designs and features that have earned a wide clientele in the competitive  global market:

Small, thin and shrinking light bulbs:

The ultra thin and tiny sizes of LED bulbs have allowed various designers to create incredible structures for lighting by giving myriad sorts of fixtures a nip and tuck.

The coolness factor:

LED bulbs keep cool under pressure. Hence, fixing them in tight spaces will not heat up the surrounding surfaces. The coolness factor is also contributing to the continuing slenderization of lamps.

Massive power savers:

Not only do the LED bulbs cut down your electricity bills considerably, but also facilitate usage of thinner wires that are less thickly insulated. This characteristic has also led to the incredible invention of LED wallpapers that are made of extremely thin conductive material. 

Changing colors:

Did you know? LED lights can adjust the color temperature of white light. This remarkable feature called the 'Dynamic White' offers varied blends of white shade. Although this feature is primarily available in products aimed at architects and interior designers, it is trickling down to the consumer level.

Innovation n LED is booming rapidly and it's technological potential is now being recognized by the masses too. Be it the highly advanced designer bulbs or the consumer-friendly lights, LED is successfully making its mark as the most preferred choice for the Indian household.  

"Technology and innovation in the space of Eco friendly: Reincarnate your space!"

In the recent times, the world at large is following practices that are friendly to nature. The only reason for which being the retaliation and retribution from Mother Nature in form of natural catastrophes, thinning of the ozone layer, biomagnifications, oceanic acidification, global warming and what not; and its subsequent impact on the health of the public as respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, throat inflammation, chest pain, and congestion etc. 

Evolution of sustainable development practices:

Today there is a growing need for technological innovations that can achieve the aim of sustainable development across all verticals concerning nature and being Eco-Friendly. Bearing this thought in mind in recent years, the efforts of manufacturing industries to achieve sustainable production have shifted from end-of-pipe solutions to a focus on product lifecycles and integrated environmental strategies and management systems. Therefore, there evolved a need for creation, development and innovation of closed-loop, circular production systems, and adoption of new business models. 

Radical steps to seek Eco-innovation:

Eco- innovation or eco- friendly innovation aims to develop technological practices that are created basis keeping sustainable development in mind. It calls for industry and policy makers to work more positively towards radical and systematic development of new technology, expertise, equipment and machinery that are eco- friendly in nature. Many companies have started to use eco-innovation or similar terms to describe their contributions to sustainable development.

Key Aspects to develop eco innovation:

The new eco-friendly inventions compete with, and sometimes surpass, their conventional counterparts. Eco-Innovation is any form of innovation resulting in or aiming at significant and demonstrable progress towards the goal of sustainable development, through reducing impacts on the environment, enhancing resilience to environmental pressures, or achieving a more efficient and responsible use of natural resources. Hence the environmental policy and legislation should be such that promotes eco- innovation.

Other key aspect in developing eco-innovation is the collaboration and coming together of international forces to participate, support an contribute in this cause, mobilising financial instruments and support services for SMEs; and supporting the development of emerging skills and jobs and related training programmes to match labour market needs to develop eco innovation.

 

Let's Go Green!

We all have been witnessing the horrendous revenge of the nature since decades under the names of floods , earth quakes and all in this league. But, living on a land of development doesn't mean to exploit the gift; which we are good at!  Indubitably, our history, present (and the fear sways regarding the future as well); has smashed well into our faces vanquishing our endeavors of 'development'- prone to the loss of our 'ecosystem'; the system that always demanded and still demands for green and healthy surroundings, which is its right; and unquestionably, impeding it makes us score against common sense. It's our frivolity which is needed to come back on track for the time is not that far to even get a chance to lament over the aftermath left-overs. Amidst, sparing us from sarcasm for a while; we need to understand that we are like protons and neutrons encircling the nucleus called ecosystem. The more we degrade it the worst it will reciprocate. Adjustment is what, is a need of an hour! Whatever gone can't come back to us, but at least unflinching efforts would undo the loss to some extent. It will!  You may stop reading, if you don't agree. But if you believe in looking at the brighter aspects then, there are steps to be make our surroundings green. How? Good question! 

Let's start from the most personal surroundings to us,  i.e. home!

•        Overhauling the water leakage system or switching from non-conserving toilets with a water-saving one! Indeed! It will help to restore more water annually abreast, the most conspicuous issue will be smartly dealt. 

 

•   Driving luxurious cars and bikes is always a part of vogue; it's good! but what not good is the pollution that is 'blown out of proportion'. No matter how close one's destination is, one still prefers to drive. High time to change this habit! Giving a shot to walks won't be a big deal if destinations are at stone's throw. Isn't? 

•     Avoid drinking from chemical contaminated plastic bottles, and throwing them anywhere around. Needless to mention, but still, step out of niggardliness for the sake of your own health and that of ecosystem. 

•     Conserve energy! Use LED lightning- a solid-simple technology which saves electricity consumption, improve lightning besides, saves money. So, who wouldn't like to pay less electricity bill!  

 

     Say yes to Green Building, an idea supporting 'sustainable development' -  using present resources without comprising the needs of future generation. The idea flashes the concept of environment friendly construction practices; and in which, the debris of newly constructed buildings is met on-site only so as to avoid landfills which gives birth to countless personal and environmental problems.

     Hence, in a nutshell, let's try to switch-off the alarms of destruction before its too late and onto of that, better let-go the “let-go-attitude” towards ecosystem. Let the day come when the results of go-green-attempt makes us all feel green and we find an equilibrium with our ecosystem.
