LED tube to be a valid choice for businesses and home owners

The installation of Light-Emitting Diode (LED) lighting in communal areas of social housing, such as stairwells and corridors suggests the new technology can deliver huge energy savings, reduce costs and makes residents feel safer.

It is suggested that LED tubes can last for up to 100,000 hours, compared with the 1,000 hours of traditional incandescent light-bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) 15,000 hours.The technology is also much more energy efficient, using up to 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs.

The long lifespans and low energy use make LEDs economically attractive because even though the fittings cost more, the running and maintenance bills are lower.

The emergence of solid state lighting has been discussed in the technical media, at trade shows and in labs for almost a decade.

Many of the initial technical challenges have been solved driving LEDs efficiently, heat management in retrofit LED bulb designs and circuit strategies to ensure reliability and longevity, to name a few.

Yet the technology is only now approaching universal acceptance as a valid choice for businesses and home owners. It is predicted the technology could dominate the lighting market by 2015.

Opinion is that 2012 will be the year when the technology matures and the hidden revolution in lighting becomes public. The reach of LED panel lighting will extend beyond the specialists and early adopters and into the consumer mainstream.
