The Cincinnati Reds defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in the first lighted nighttime major league baseball game on May 24, 1935. More than fifty years later, the Chicago Cubs hosted their first-ever nighttime game under newly-installed lights at Wrigley Field on August 8, 1988. The next revolution in lighting sports arenas will not be as dramatic, […]
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
As we coast further into 2016, countries in the Middle East are experiencing record population growth, which is creating an unprecedented demand for infrastructure developments and improvements, including LED Technology in the Middle East. The Middle East is rich with oil resources but that resource wealth does not translate into a profligate attitude toward energy […]
A Complete LED Rollout Would Cut Global Emissions by 2.3%
The Climate Group, a global non-profit group that advocates a lower-carbon emission world economy, has adopted a worldwide initiative to replace incandescent and fluorescent lighting with LED lighting systems. The Group has calculated that a complete LED rollout, by replacing all existing lighting technology with LED systems will remove 735 million tons of carbon dioxide […]
5 Reasons to Make the Investment in LED Now (Not Later)
The adoption of new technology in any industry often runs into a number of common objections from all but the most ardent of early adopters. Resistance to new technology tends to be driven by fears that all the bugs have not yet been worked out of new systems or that subsequent generations of a new […]
The LED Lighting Revolution is Here
LED Lighting Revolution has been called the greatest innovation in electrical illumination since Thomas Edison developed the first incandescent light bulb, more than 130 years ago. In slightly more than fifty years since the first LED bulb to produce visible light was created by a GE engineer, LEDs have expanded into commercial and manufacturing space, […]
Understanding White Color Terminology in Lighting
Understanding the nuances of white light is essential for selecting appropriate lighting solutions that enhance both functionality and ambiance. The terminology associated with white light—such as color temperature, correlated color temperature (CCT), and color rendering index (CRI)—can be complex, but a clear grasp of these concepts enables informed decisions tailored to specific environments and tasks. […]
A Glimpse of Next Generation LEDs
Light emitting diodes, or “LEDs”, are rapidly becoming the standard lighting solution for a multitude of commercial and industrial applications. First-generation LED’s were relegated to use as signal lights in electronic devices because of their high cost of production and limited light emitting intensity. As LED technology developed, costs came down as the color and […]
Are LED Headlights Legal?
