How LED Lighting is Solving America’s Energy Crisis
Among men and women of a certain generation, discussions of an “energy crisis” bring to mind images of long lines of cars waiting to purchase gasoline during the days of the Arab oil embargo in the 1970’s. The new energy crisis of the early part of the 21st century does not include such dramatic imagery, […]
A Look at Kelvin Temperatures in Lighting
We have all likely had the experience of sensing that a room’s lighting is too harsh, or of feeling that a room was so warmly lit that the lighting itself created a very relaxing environment. How we perceive lighting is a function of the relative concentrations of different color visible spectrum wavelengths in the lighting. […]
What Are Lumens? A Complete Guide to Understanding Lumens in LED Lighting
As LED technology continues to transform residential, commercial, and industrial lighting, many consumers are asking an essential question: what are lumens, and why are they more important than watts when choosing LED lights? If you’re planning to upgrade your lighting—whether for your home, office, warehouse, or retail space—understanding lumen ratings is critical for making the […]
What Affects the Lifespan of LED Lights?
LED Lighting has become a staple of sustainable and cost-effective lighting sources due to their long life, but what affects the lifespan of LED lights? Rather than generating light by passing electrical current through a metal filament or a gaseous substance, LED light comes from interactions at a molecular level among solid state elemental materials. […]
Important Milestones in the Story of LED Lighting
In just over fifty years, LED lighting has progressed from limited use by benchtop hobbyists who used tiny red LED bulbs as signal indicators in electronics projects, to a household presence in video screens and lighting fixtures. Advances in the field over this period have positioned the Story of LED Lighting as the predominant technology […]
The Rapid Growth of LED Technology in the Middle East
