Prospective Of LED Light In Near Future
Light Emitting Diode or LED light has been in the market for several years, mainly in niche usage like small trinkets and indicator lighting. However, owing to LED light being highly energy efficient, not to mention technologically advanced than other light sources like the incandescent and fluorescent lighting, it is expected to reach beyond electronic applications into commercial and home lighting equally. In a recent report by Global Industry Analysts it is estimated that the market for fluorescent and LED light could move to $97 billion by 2010. The rise in growth would be mainly from construction and industrial development companies.
As more individuals become aware of the energy efficiency of LEDs, the cost of such items as LED bulbs will decline in price. Presently, the price of one LED bulb is considerably higher than the price of incandescent or fluorescent lighting. However, the initial price for the bulbs would more than pay for itself in the end. On average, one incandescent 60-watt bulb endures 1,000 hours whereas one 2-watt LED light bulb endures 60,000 hours. Therefore, one would have to purchase 60 incandescent bulbs for every one LED light bulb.
Home LED light is a cut above the rest when you consider energy efficiency. In comparison to incandescent lighting, LEDs wins hands down where energy consumption is involved. For every 60,000 hours of service, incandescent lighting uses around 3,600 kWh of electricity where LED lights use 120 kWh. Bottom line: energy efficiency equals a substantial cost savings. LEDs gives off directional light. Therefore, it is beneficial as a source of light for reading or spotlighting in the room. Its powerful light output also makes it wonderful for outdoor floodlighting and road illumination. These bulbs are now obtainable that can replace most halogen or fluorescent light bulbs used in the home.
Although LED light may not be convenient for all home lighting needs, changing a few bulbs would have an obvious affect in the amount of energy used.
LEDs are already used in signs and videos in many indoor and outdoor sporting events and parties. LED video displays and signs are often preferred because of their higher brightness, which is important when people are watching a sign or video from a long distance. Added benefits of these video displays are their capacity to incorporate curves and 3-D designs. This makes LED displays technologically better than currently available large screen shows. Research and developers in the consumer electronics space are eager to take advantage of this extremely useful technology in future devices.
Other uses for LED light incorporate flashlights and key chains, automobile taillights and interior lights, and LED-based projection TVs. LED light is also being used in the army for LED flashlights that is used in night-vision goggles, UV-LED canteen water treatment plants and the sterilization of surgical equipment.
With LED light being more energy efficient and technologically superior to other light sources, numerous applications are sure to grow. Future generations can expect to think LED light as the standard light source for most lighting applications.
