Now efficiency of LED can be over 100lm/w in the market. In the lab, efficiency of LED is over 200lm/w. It’s over 10 times higher than efficiency of incandescent bulbs, and we believe with the rapid development of LED industry, the efficiency will still increase. more super high power LED lights will come to our lives.

I too am a fan of the LED lights. It seems nowadays, they are the light of choice. At least here in NY.

Interesting point from Ken and something that I had never picked up on, that LED lights can easily be disposed of and you don’t have to pay some sort of handling fee. I agree with others, LED lights aren’t quite ‘warm’ enough to make you feel fully comfortable.

It will be interesting to see the next development of light bulbs in and around the house. Yes LED lights are energy efficient, but if you had a house full of them, there wouldn’t be a ‘homely’ feel at all as most are so bright! Hoping some alternative designs and colours will be available in the near future.

I agree with Daniel, it can be difficult to find LED lighting that retains the warm glow of a standard filament bulb. I think this is improving, however. Try looking for “warm white” LEDs.

One thing to note about LEDs also is that color creation in diodes is hit-or-miss. Most white diodes come out looking sort of blue. Therefore, what you are paying for with high quality diodes is all the wasted bluish ones. This problem hasn’t really been solved yet, so LEDs may not drop in price as quickly as many say.

One other benefit of LED lights is that they don’t contain (as far as I know) the toxic chemicals that CFL lights contain and can be disposed of without any special handling.

It will be nice to see the new replacement LED fixtures which come out over the next few years. Hopefully they will continue to improve. Currently, the life of LED fixtures is limited more by the quality of non-LED parts (capacitors) than the LEDs themselves. So, if you have an LED bulb rated at 50,000 hours, it might fail before that time due to other failed parts.

Nice design for LEDs. Do they have these available in Europe or only in the US. If someone knows of where i can get a copy of these for my home office that would be appreciated.

Low voltage lighting, is for me at least, one of the most exciting developments in lighting technology we have seen. The potential of LED bulbs are amazing, lower power usage and a longer life will benefit everyone once they become mainstream. Lets just hope the cost of LED technology drops faster than it is doing so at the moment, so that we can finally replace current lighting technology such as incandescent bulbs and flourescent bulbs.
