LED lighting innovations & LED production innovations during 2013



Are you too a part of the league that gauges the consequences of a certain innovation or technology on the environment? Are you too equally interested with the aftermaths of a novelty that comes with the tag of making the lives of the masses easier and comfortable? If yes, then this article is meant just for you and many others who are the flag bearers of the concept of energy conservation and decreasing pollution.

LED, one of the biggest innovations in the present scenario that not only promotes green energy but also prophesizes the concept of sustainable development into our lives, the LED technology is rightly called the future of lighting technology. It is currently at the break-through of entirely new dimensions of what lighting is, should be and can do and bridges the gap of analog and digital era. 

LED Innovations
With the last year – 2013 beaming with a radiant ray of hope of expanding possibilities and opportunities, LED lighting technology is the best bet for technology's future and role on our planet. Last year has definitely been the year of possibilities with innovations such as LED street lamps, LED blankets, LED in wearable gadgets and what not. It represents possibilities, revolution and hope in many sectors regarding savings, safety and sustainability and is far better than the older, more traditional and harmful incandescent lighting.


LED Investments
Myriad of investors are eyeing LED technology as a domain where they can draw more lucrative investment projects. The most prominent investor being Randall Sosnick, former counsel of Apple-Genius, Steve Jobs as it shows major potential in advanced controllability and its applications. 

LED Technology Dominates Market
LED lighting industry is expected to gain 90 percent of the market share for human-centric lighting due to the increased level of attention and significance awarded to the field of human-centric lighting. LED technology has already proudly marked its leading place in the global lighting industry as being the most efficient and green lighting solution to date.


 

LED Street Lighting : Energy Efficient LED Streetlights Generate Huge Cost-Savings.



Street lighting is one of the most important things that a government provides to its citizens. It is a pre-requisite for urban ambience, road safety and personal safety. It ensures visibility in the dark for riders, drivers and pedestrians which in turn help in preventing road accidents. This gives the citizens a sense of personal safety not only from accidents but also from crimes. But providing this amount of light to the whole city and the country as a whole affects the pockets of the government. But as safety is more important than the money, the world has come up with a way that saves the pockets and also provides the same amount of light. This effectual way is LED Street Lighting.

LED's are perfect for streetlights as they emit more directional light, meaning, the focus of the light illuminates only the targeted area. This is certainly beneficial, but the absolute gain in using these lights are that they are largely cost effective. One of the reasons for them being economical is that they have a lengthy Lifecycle. Studies suggest that the regular street lamps have a lifetime of 12,000 to 24,000 hours, which in comparison to LED lights is quite less, as they are operational for a good 50,000 hours, which is approximately three to five times more. The installation of a lighting system takes considerably less money than the operation of the lighting system. When LED's don't need to be changed as often, the cost of maintenance automatically reduces leading to the reduction in the overall cost.

It is time that these LED lights are taken into serious consideration and that our government takes measures to incorporate them in our country.
