Light Your World With Solid-State Lighting

Partly due to rising environmental concerns and the increasing cost of energy, the industrialized world is now replacing billions of conventional incandescent light fixtures. While a significant percentage of these applications are moving to compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), the concerns over the mercury content of the CFLs as well as the potential for even greater energy savings are causing more and more users to move to solid-state lighting. The observed lower than advertised lifetime of the CFL is also a concern. The newest light-emitting diode (LED) lights consume approximately 80% less energy than incandescent lamps and contain no toxic materials.
