LED will replace the traditional lighting equipment

On November 6th news, according to a new study, a light emitting diode LED, by virtue of its superior performance, is expected to completely replace the traditional lighting system in the short term, so as to make a great contribution to the global power energy saving plan.

According to CNET News.com reported that today's consumers can easily buy LED lamps in the store, which can guarantee the same brightness and 60 watt bulbs. In the days prior to the convening of the forum of SEMI nano materials, Santa Barbara, a physics professor at the University of California said that the LED lamp life can be more than 100 thousand hours, far more than traditional incandescent lamp.

Of course, LED technology also has its disadvantages, such as the cost of the current stage is too high, it is reported that the price of LED lamps to more than $60. However, according to analysts, with the increase in production, the next year the price of LED lights will decline by 50%, by 2008, the price will not exceed $20. In fact, according to this price, the $20 LED lamps, a year can save money on energy products to buy the money. Next, LED will continue to save energy savings for users.

According to statistics provided by the U.S. Department of energy, 22% of the total energy consumption in the country, from lighting. According to experts, the current use of lighting equipment, a large part of the cost of energy consumption is wasted, and really be used for lighting only less than 5%, the rest of the heat in the form of sporadic. If the United States 25% of the lamps to replace LED technology, by 2025, will be about $115 billion to save energy costs. On the other hand, LED technology is also constantly updated, the current LED lamps can provide brightness, has reached 117 lumens per watt, while Japanese scientists have even raised this figure to 130.
