For the last few years I have been working to promote SOLID STATE LED LIGHTING....while waiting for the big boys to become fully involved.
The big boys are General Electric and Philips.
Both of them seem to be waiting for various reasons.
The technology is here but there seems to be a delay in application.
Solid State lighting is the future of all lighting and at this point it just seems that people should be aware of that fact.
SOLID STATE LIGHTING uses 80 to 90 percent less energy than incandescent lights and 40 to 50 percent less than the spiral fluorescent bulb, which contains Mercury.
The price of High Powered LEDs is one of the reasons for the delay in application but when all things are considered the price should not be a problem. The amount of energy saved more than makes up for any initial expense.
THE MAIN PROBLEM IS WHERE TO FIND THE PRODUCT.
Home Depot carries accent LED lights but nothing to replace a 60 WATT bulb.
BUT THAT SHOULD CHANGE WITHIN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS.
The DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY is a great place to research all advancements in LED technology.
At this point you just need to be aware of the tremendous energy saving when switching to LED lighting...and tell your friends. The more people who talk about it the faster the BIG BOYS will make it available.
Solid State lighting is the easiest method for saving energy.
CHANGE A BULB
Start learning and start talking.
