Energy Efficient LED
Lighting and Technologies
Rapid advancements in LEDs and the global need for energy efficient lighting
alternatives are creating opportunities to replace conventional light
sources with LED lighting for general illumination. LED lighting is gaining
momentum for many reasons, and chief among them is energy efficiency.
With the landmark signing of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and other
nations similarly devoting resources to energy conservation, the potential
impact of LED lighting is increasingly gaining national and global
attention. A 2001 Department of Energy study estimated cumulative savings of
$98 billion by 2020 once LED lighting reaches the performance crossover with
conventional sources. Color Kinetics believes this day is approaching faster
than ever anticipated.
Today CK's energy efficient lighting systems deliver big visual impact
without the big energy drains. Yet LED lighting can achieve energy savings
on a much larger scale as it becomes more applicable to general
illumination. With the introduction of
IntelliWhite™,
CK now addresses specialty white light applications while developing systems
that will meet the growing opportunity to cost-effectively apply LEDs for
general illumination |
