The Future of LED Lighting Part II

The rate at which LED technology is growing is surprising even the harshest skeptics.  This evolution can be seen in advances such as incandescent technology being phased out, terminology (watts to lumens) being changed, and government tax breaks being offered.  It’s versatile in its use – from commercial to residential applications and everything in between.  What started out as a niche-oriented technology is now becoming widespread throughout the globe.

According to the U.S. Energy Department, there are about 971 million 60-watt light bulbs in use in the United States alone.  Part of the reason of the phasing out of incandescent bulbs is so that consumers will use the more efficient LED technology and encourage energy savings for our growing population.  Green initiatives are becoming more important now than ever and LED technology is already a leader in green solutions.  CFLs still remain a viable option; however, when compared to LED technology, CFLs contain mercury, have shorter life spans and give off a blue-green light.  Because of those reasons, and others, many lighting experts expect for LED bulbs to become the eventual replacement for incandescent lighting. 

Already major chain retailers are carrying LED bulbs in place of incandescent technology; the most common being a 60-watt-equivalent LED bulb.  Futuristic niche-uses of this technology still remain as well.  The U.S. military is using LED applications in UV-LED canteen water treatment devices, sterilization of field surgical equipment and LED flashlights for night-vision goggles.  The automotive industry is also moving toward using LED light bulbs in vehicles.  Next generation televisions are also being outfitted with LED technology to improve resolution, color and brightness.  With an increase in usage of this technology across the board, it opens up the door for entrepreneurs to utilize this technology and make it their own – including upgrades and customization to computers, photography and mobile phones.  Universities such as UC Davis and University at Albany-SUNY have also implemented solid-state lighting programs, indicating a shift in educating and arming graduates for the future of lighting technology.
