subject: Led Lights Future Development Discussion [print this page] The lighting industry has undergone some major changes in recent years by the continuing progress of energy saving compact fluorescent bulbs and decisions taken by the EU to ban all incandescent bulbs by 2012. Despite all the consternation with CFL bulbs is not a subject that seems to be getting more interesting: LED light bulbs.
Many experts believe the future lighting of the lighting industry is based on LED technology. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of LED lighting in its current form? In this article I will detail the history of LED technology and discuss what they have to offer home LED light bulbs to lighting market today.
Originally used in devices such as alpha-numeric display and pocket calculators, LEDs have recently seen the successful application in commercial and domestic lighting. Two major factors are encouraging consumers to change their LED lighting are: -
light bulbs are more efficient in the market, reduce carbon emissions and reducing energy costs.
Last longer than any commercially available light bulbs, reducing maintenance costs and additional energy.
Why not change the entire LED lighting? The initial cost of purchasing LED products can be daunting for the batch of consumers around the commercial sector, where the number of bulbs required is greater. However, when considering the total cost of ownership far outweigh the LED incandescent and halogen lighting and are beginning to threaten the CFL bulbs. One of the high costs involved in the production of heat dissipation LED bulbs, without adequate protection of LED heat can be lost lifetime.
In the early days of 12 volt LED bulbs inside a common complaint was the color of light produced and the poor light output, which was often insufficient to replace halogen lights. However, in recent years manufacturers have developed "warm white" color LED bulbs, to replicate the traditional bulbs and lamps that incorporate more high power LEDs in a single circuit board to ensure that the bulbs can match the light output of halogen and CFL bulbs.
Another advantage of LED lighting is the short 'on / off', this has led many types of council in the UK changing its LED lights not only make them more efficient but also requires less maintenance. One drawback that has been associated with CFL bulbs is their toxicity, or rather the use of mercury, although this has been taken into account with the WEEE fee (a tax on each bulb to contribute to a cost of recycling and disposal), this problem smd 3528 LED lighting does not exist, what is most suitable for eco-minded companies and individuals.
In today LED lighting technology is paying attention to light bulbs because of the ability to manufacture circuit boards unlike CFLs that need to be a bit bigger to house the pipe. This is changing, albeit with the production of candles, golf ball and even light-LED strip for a handful of companies, this is a significant advance because it demonstrates LED could someday incorporate lighting industry all and not stay in your current market as a fringe technology.
