LEDs-
Luminous Semiconductor
I put the bulb back on the front page, arguably the first time since Thomas Edison introduced it in 1879 to replace the kerosene lamp.
And, as in the Edison era, the lighting industry is being forced to struggle with some misconceptions, myths, and completely wrong claims about a product that will change the way we live.
You may have heard it.
The cost of the Led is very high.
They don't work.
They don't save electricity.
Led is part of the government plan to control your life.
If we don't stop them now, they'll find the mini fridge in the next garage!
We want to take a break from these myths.
LED bulbs typically consume less than half of the energy of compact fluorescence and less than 1/8 to 1/10 of the power of incandescent lamps.
Over time, these numbers of led will also increase.
After all, LEDs are chips: history and physics show that their prices will drop over time and their performance will improve steadily.
Conventional bulbs are vacuum tubes.
They are not getting better.
Incandescent bulbs are still the most popular bulbs in the United States. S.
Usually only 10% of the energy is used to produce light.
The rest became hot.
You probably don't have vacuum tubes-
The computer or crt TV is powered on.
Thanks to the integrated switch and relay array, your MP3 player weighs no more than 35 pounds.
So, why do you have a lot of vacuum tubes in your house lights?
The efficiency of traditional bulbs is low.
Consumers and businesses around the world spend more than $100 billion a year on light bulbs and fixtures, and more than $600 billion to power them.
However, only a fraction of the light is connected to the network that can dim them to save energy.
The lighting company has been out of the way for more than a century, partly because it has persuaded people not to think about light.
It's a light bulb, they argue.
Replace them when they burn out.
They don't want to say it's an expensive habit.
About 23% of the electricity supply in the United States.
By lighting, S is swallowed up: 18% of people use bulbs, and the remaining 4 to 5% use air conditioners to eliminate the waste heat generated by inefficient bulbs.
Talk to your doorman: replacing the bulb is still one of the main tasks of facility managers around the country.
In fact, automakers, TV makers, street lamp manufacturers and industrial equipment manufacturers have turned to LEDs to reduce power.
In fact, these manufacturers have chosen LEDs because they are better suited to the ups and downs of everyday reality.
Unlike traditional bulbs, the led does not break.
They also do not contain gases that are easily broken like Mercury or electrodes.
The LED bulb will last between 35,000 and 50,000 hours, which means more than ten years in a normal home or office scenario.
In fact, the led is the computer.
The Hydro festival will soon show what we are talking about.
The company will provide residential and commercial customers in Stratford, Ontario with 100,000 LED bulbs equipped with wireless chips and smart meters.
With smart meters and wireless connectivity, customers will basically have Festival Hydro dim the lights during peak hours or off hourshours. (
Bridgelux will provide LED technology, while Anycomm will provide software for the pilot to control the system. )
Consumers will be able to cover the system, but Festival Hydro expects most of them to stick to the plan.
Most of the time, consumers may not even notice the difference: Research shows that the lights in the office building can be darkened by 40% as long as no one complains in half an hour.
In the end, consumers will experience lower bills, utilities will be able to suppress peak power consumption, and maintenance personnel will not have to change bulbs frequently.
The led that will give its customers water saving electricity is free.
Let's repeat it.
Free, like never having money to come down.
The electricity saved will pay for the light bulb. (
Each bulb will leave the factory already equipped with smart meters, so the black market for free bulbs will most likely not erupt. )
If a trial like this is successful, utilities will start offering millions of free LEDs.
The power consumption avoided will push them back millions of dollars to invest in new fossil-fuel power plants.
Even the bulbs in the stores that are not part of the utility program are already rapidly cutting prices.
Several manufacturers sell LED bulbs for $20 and send out more than 60 lights
Watt incandescent lamp$20!
Yes, but that light bulb can save $10 a year on the electricity bill, which lasts until 2025 or more.
You will make over $100 in the long run.
The myth of "black helicopter" will convince you of legislators around the world
Australia, Europe, Canada, United StatesS.
Countries like China, New Zealand and the Philippines
In the past few years, the bulb efficiency method has been passed for the benefit of lighting manufacturers.
A broad list of countries alone is enough to detonate the concept of conspiracy.
This is not the first time the government has issued consumer regulations.
Lead gas was phased out decades ago.
Anti-child medicine bottles are common and purchase meat containing "meat that has not been checked by the US Department of Agriculture --
You're alone! ” sticker.
Instead, consumers will be attracted to the led as the features provided by the led have not yet been developed.
With the popularity of LED technology, customers will try to integrate motion sensors into bulbs and turn LEDs into nodes of safety systems.
The temperature and CO2 sensors allow the bulb to provide data to the building management system.
The Led can also change the atmosphere of the room with a flick of the mouse or help you sleep better.
City managers will deploy LED street lights to check traffic conditions and control municipal expenses.
With led, the metal lantern pants in the lighting industry began to discover Moore's law. Skeptics abound.
But skeptics always seem to miss the inflection point.
Cynics in their 1970 s predict that only amateurs will have a home computer.
They countered that the only person in the post-80 s who really needed the phone was Gordon Gico.
They claim that the internet broke out in 2002, two years earlier than Facebook.
Perhaps the only myth is that critics are always right.
