The global energy crisis requires new solutions

Lighting makes up 19% of global electricity consumption:

Major Energy shortage in India as high as 9% and peak demand shortfall as steep
as 12%
Two options available to meet the increased demand for energy
supply more energy
improve energy end-use and supply efficiencies.
Energy Efficiency A better Choice
Conservation + efficiency = smart energy
energy efficiency can generate nearly immediate results
Energy saved is Energy generated
LEDs new paradigm means reliability, safety, durability and feature:
Instant "on" with no re-strike delay
Cold starting
No arc tube or bulb
Vibration and impact resistant
No mercury or lead is used
RoHS and Dark Sky compliance
Longer LED life reduces waste (When properly engineered, LED life is more than f
ive times that of metal halide)

LED are solid state semi conductor devices that can convert electrical energy di
rectly into light. The inherent features of LED decide it to be the best alterna
tive to conventional light sources and provide a wide range of application. It i
s used indoor and outdoor including parking points, street lights, highways, cor
porate offices, hotels, public buildings, restaurants, gallery, lounge, cars, si
gn boards etc.
Due to its high adaptability in any device, LEDs are used gadgets and instrument
such as Mobile phones, LCD screens, indicator signals, radar detectors, digital
cameras, road signs and traffic signals.
Offices are already seeing the first niche LED applications with desk lights and
particularly emergency lighting
In the leisure sector, hotels and restaurants are installing LED lighting for de
corative purposes in bars plus reception and dining areas. Hotels are also begin
ning to use LED bedside and standing lamps and effective 3W LED downlighters, (d
esigned to replace 20W halogen versions), are expected within a year or so.
LEDs are also being used in hotel signage to replace fluorescent, incandescent a
nd neon lamps. Their low energy consumption, bright clear colours and long life
make them ideal.
LED Technology is now efficient enough to drive real benefits in lighting
LED technology for lighting applications has the potential for wide-scale use an
d large energy savings.

LED light will be the future of lighting , turely
Performance trends suggest that LEDs have the ability to become predominant ligh
t sources, given their longer life, durability, non-toxic materials, lack of rad
iated heat and UV, and flexibility to accommodate wide-ranging fixtures and form
factors.
It is with advantages:
1. Low power consumption, saving up 80% evergy than traditional halogen bulbs
2. Green, no pollution. It is solid state lighting
3. Long use life. Up to 100,000 hours
it is means that for years, there will be no any addtional maintenance cost
Thanks to advances in physics, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) will soon move from
traffic lights and electronics panels to home lighting, bringing dramatic energy
savings, adjustable colors for ambiance, and light-shining furnishings.
the combination of the energy savings, reduced maintenance and disposal costs an
d the environmental savings demonstrate that LED lighting is now a real alternat
ive to traditional lighting solutions.

LEDs are future solution to lighting problems. The prominent feature of LED is f
it and forget
LEDs today represent the most significant development in lighting since the inve
ntion of the electric light more than a century ago.
In 1879, Thomas Edison made the first public demonstration of his incandescent l
ight bulb and the invention was so perfect, nothing rivaled it for more than 100
years. However, today LED lighting is on the edge of becoming the lighting meth
od of choice and surpassing the market dominance Edison s invention has held for s
o long.
Today LED technolgy is vast and growing by leaps and bounds.
Solid state devices such as LEDs are subject to very limited wear and tear if op
erated at low currents and at low temperatures. Many of the LEDs produced in the
1970s and 1980s are still in service today. Typical lifetimes quoted are 25000
to 100000 hours but heat and current settings can extend or shorten this time si
gnificantly. [25]
HOW IT WORKS: LEDs are essentially tiny light bulbs that fit into an electrical
circuit, but they are lit solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductin
g material. A diode is the simplest semiconductor device. It is made by bonding
a section of a positively-charged material to a section of a negatively-charged
material with electrodes on each end so that it only conducts electricity (in th
e form of free-moving electrons) in one direction whenever a voltage is applied
to the diode. Electrons move in a series of fixed orbits around the nuclei of at
oms. Whenever an electron absorbs extra energy from the added voltage, it jumps
to a higher orbital, and when it returns to a lower orbital, it emits the extra
energy as a photon -- a particle of light. LEDs are specially constructed to emi
t a large number of photons, unlike ordinary diodes, in which the semiconductor
material absorbs most of the light energy before it can be released. LEDs are al
so housed in a plastic bulb to concentrate the light in a particular direction.

» LED lighting consumes 50 percent less energy than traditional sources. It is fou
r times more energy efficient than regular light bulbs because more of the energ
y is converted into light than is lost as heat. There is no glass or filament, a
s in a light bulb, so LED tiles would last forever, and the tiles are so rugged,
someone can jump on them without breaking them. LED lighting also covers the en
tire color spectrum of visible light so lighting can change from one color, or t
one, to another with just one touch of a control panel.There are intrinsic reaso
ns for the popularity of LEDs as they are high energy saver, are pollution-free
and have handsome payback period.
Due to non-emission of infra red and ultra violet rays, LEDs do not attract bugs
which other sources of light does. It also lasts 5 to 10 times longer than othe
r conventional products thus eliminating the chances of frequent replacement. LE
D products do not contain mercury and do not have ballasts too.

OLEDs (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes) are thin, organic materials sandwiched

between two electrodes, which illuminate when an electrical charge is applied
Transparent

The display of the future
Organic electronics are lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than their in
organic counterparts.
They are also biodegradable (being made from carbon).
This opens the door to many exciting and advanced new applications that would be
impossible using copper or silicon.

In the coming years, the light output of LEDs will continue to increase, enablin
g mass-market general lighting applications from approx 2010 onwards. The first
effective general LED solutions to replace incandescents will appear on the mark
et over the next two to three years, but initially they will be relatively expen
sive.
LEDs are designed to operate with no more than 30 60 milliwatts [mW] of electrical
power.
