The future of LED bulbs is shining bright. All parties involved in preservation of energy are looking upon reduction of wasted energy. A lot of methods have been improved to reduced wastage of energy. Some of these methods are already popular while some of the strategies being used to control the amount of energy getting wasted are not very popular. Using energy saving bulbs is among one of the unsung song to popularity. However, there are hopes of LED light rising to popularity since a lot of research has already been done and the bulbs have been approved to be used instead of the obsolete and cost ineffective incandescent bulbs.
The traditional incandescent bulbs were invented over a century back. These bulbs dominated the industry unchallenged until 1930s when a fluorescent lighting was discovered. This was in 1930s. Fluorescent bulbs are so bright and effective for domestic use and are hence only suitable for use in commercial industries like hospitals, supermarkets and schools among other big institutions. Since introduction of these two varieties of bulbs, this industry has remained dormant for quite a long time. This was not until recently when LED technology was invented. This technology is helping to keep our environment green. The LED technology is leading in the category of energy savvy bulbs. Enthusiasts are recommending all people to adapt this lighting method to go green.
According to experts in the lighting industry, LED industry is said to be holding the future of various lighting purposes. These bulbs are so popular in the market since they have ability to save energy and also have a long life. The manufacturers of the LED bulbs have already started preparing to an increased demand in the bulbs suddenly.
The LED lights have now been in the market for a while. It is only that their popularity has not reached global level. There are some LED lights that are of low quality and some which are of high quality. Low qualities are the ones responsible for giving materials a faded color. The best LED technology is made using silicon technology which has ability to lower the energy wasted drastically. These lights have found use even in decoration of luxury pads.
The future of LED lighting stands a greater chance of success than it is currently. LED lighting has already been in use in different niche lighting like bicycles and of late in electronic industry. The manufacturers are starting to get prepared on manufacturing large quantities as there is an expected big increase in demand of the bulbs. Some countries like Canada have already declared use of LED lights only in the country by 2012 to increase energy efficiency. The LED bulbs can last for as long as 50, 0000 hours which can amount to over 5 year's full lighting before the needs of replacing it.
The LED lights are priced at a higher cost compared other alternatives. However, their effectiveness is making people still prefer to use. Currently, 30% of the lights in use are made of LED. By 2015, this figure is expected to rise to 50%. By 2020, 80% of the lighting bulbs will be made of LED. These statistics' are all proving the strength of LED lights in the market.
