What is LEDification in the
lighting world?
In recently years, the
lighting Industry is carrying out a huge change in their own technology. In the
past, they used incandescent, fluorescent and discharge lamps for almost every
applications but since LED birth there have been a technological disruption.
Nowadays, everybody thinks in
LED for either retrofitting applications or new facilities without taking into
account whether the ROI will be profitable in a short or medium period of time.
It is truth that LED technology have lot of advantages such a high efficiency,
low consumption and lower impact to the environment but sometimes there are
still good solutions with traditional technology.
This new technology brings
lots of good arguments to change the lighting trends and stablish the LED as
the main technology but we have to keep the common sense to select the product
and manufacturer brand. Due to massive production in China, there are many new
actors in the industry and some of them are not specialists and they can
promote a bad solution for the projects.
To sum up, I think that LED
technology is totally welcome because it provides many benefits for
environment, architectural and industrial applications. It is estimated that
approximately a 19% of the global energy consumption is because of lighting
industry and thanks to LED we can decrease it around 10% within the following
10 years.
Wow! I was very happy with my new sneakers with coloured lights in their sole. They are a bit garish because you seem a Christmas tree. But, the truth is the whole family have bought ones so my daughter, my husband and I usually wear them at the same time and it's very funny. But now, I have watched this video, I like these new sneakers! They are much cooler than mine. I love them, above all because you can choose the image and personalize it. In a nutshell, I am a little tacky, and maybe I should criticize the use of lights in shoes, but, sorry, I like them.
ReplyDeleteHi Raquel!
DeleteIf you like the sneakers with coloured lights... Just wear it!
This season it is very fashionable!
Very interesting and technical writing, Alberto. You have described the advantages of Ledification: economical, environmental and of consumption but you have criticized the disadvantages of this new technology, that is: stablishing LED as the main technology.
ReplyDeleteFrom my consumer´s point of view I have noticed the low consumption and as a consequence the decrease in my electricity bill. But I have also experienced the "new actors" in the LED industry
