Switch Lighting’s innovative bulbs have multiple LEDs around the edge producing what they say “is the closest alternative to incandescent-quality light.” Plus, they are liquid-colled, making them more efficient. Their 40 watt-equivalent bulbs are $20, much cheaper than the LED competition and the ROI is about a year. Hotels are testing them now. [...] Sensors attached to CFL and LED lighting can now communicate and be controlled via 6LoWPAN wireless mesh networks. Not only can, say, a large office building turn lights on and off remotely, the sensors can also improve the quality of the light. Earth2Tech has more. [...] Their new 17 watt LED bulb uses less power and lasts far longer than incandescents or CFLs. Plus, it looks like and can fit anywhere an incandescent does. Nokero hopes their solar LED will allow those in the developing world to have cheap, clean, safe light, by replacing dangerous, toxic kerosene lamps. The Philips 12 watt LED screws into ordinary light bulb sockets, is a mere 12 watts, glows in soft white (unlike CFLs), and has a lifetime of 25,000 hours. The future of lighting is LEDs, CFLs are a transitional product. Scientists at the University of Cambridge have discovered a way to make LEDs inexpensively. If this goes commercial, then LEDs could become commonplace. Among their advantages, they last for years and use much less electricity than conventional bulbs. . What, you’re still using those archaic CFLs? LEDs are the future! |  | ||||
