#ENERGY: "LEDs Illuminating Your Future"


An LED light bulb is chock-full of electronics--from the emitter itself to the control circuitry that sculpts the quality of the light.

Every electric light in the world could be converted to LEDs, saving billions in the process, and in the process the entire electronics industry will be boosted by $100 billion in new revenue. LEDs are replacing all types of incandescent bulbs already, with major business biting the bullet to buy the more expensive LED fixtures, in return for long-term energy savings. Look for a solid-state lighting industry to take over most of the industry by 2020. R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog.
