What Can We Expect From LED Light In The Future

Light Emitting Diode or LED light has been out there for a long time, mostly in niche purposes like small trinkets and signaling. However, owing to LED light being highly energy efficient, not to mention technologically superior over other light sources like incandescent and fluorescent lighting, it is predicted to reach beyond electronic uses into commercial and home lighting as well. In a recent study by Global Industry Analysts it is projected that the market for fluorescent and LED light could go up to $97 billion by 2010. The increase in growth would be mainly from construction and industrial development industries.

As more individuals become aware of the energy efficiency of LEDs, the price of such items as LED bulbs will decline in price. Currently, the price of one LED bulb is noticeably higher than the price of incandescent or fluorescent lighting. However, the initial price for the bulbs would more than pay for itself in the long run. On average, one incandescent 60-watt bulb can last 1,000 hours whereas one 2-watt LED light bulb lasts 60,000 hours. Therefore, one would have to purchase 60 incandescent bulbs for each 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 power consumption is concerned. For every 60,000 hours of service, incandescent lighting uses about 3,600 kWh of electricity where LED lights need 120 kWh. Bottom line: energy efficiency equals a significant cost savings. LEDs gives off directional light. Therefore, it is excellent as a source of light for reading or spotlighting in the home. Its powerful light productivity also makes it awesome for outdoor floodlighting and road illumination. These bulbs are now on the market that can replace most halogen or fluorescent bulbs used in the home.

Although LED light may not be convenient for all home lighting needs, replacing a few bulbs would have an obvious affect in the amount of energy used.

LEDs are already utilized in signs and videos in many indoor and outdoor sports events and parties. LED video displays and signs are frequently preferred because of their better brightness, which is important when people are viewing a sign or video from a long distance. Added benefits of these video displays are their potential to incorporate curves and 3-D design. This makes LED displays technologically better than currently available large screen shows. Research and manufacturers in the consumer electronics field are eager to take advantage of this extremely useful technology in future products.

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 military for LED flashlights that work with night-vision goggles, UV-LED canteen water treatment devices and the sterilization of surgical equipment.

With LED light being more energy efficient and technologically superior to many other light sources, numerous applications are sure to evolve. Future generations can expect to think LED light as the basic light source for most lighting applications.
