As we indicated in our previous post , lighting our homes by traditional incandescent bulbs days are numbered. already stopped manufacturing the 100-watt bulbs and soon will be followed by 60, 40 and 25.
Like it or not, we will change in the very near future the way of lighting our homes. Currently, there are three solutions on the market: halogen bulbs, energy-saving bulbs and LEDs.
The first, halogen lamps, energy-inefficient remain . The second, the light bulbs have the disadvantage of contain toxic substances inside and LEDs are just developed for use domestically. But the latter is unlikely to be that will change soon.
Although, at present, the LED light emitting diodes are only used as lighting in traffic lights, some electronics or as parking lights to create atmosphere, and you start seeing more powerful versions serve to illuminate some of our streets, some stores pointers (especially in light of the windows) and gradually are opening the way at bars, restaurants and hotels.
Since its consumption is 90% less than traditional bulbs and its life cycle is virtually forever (about 10,000 hours or, what is, between 8 and 10 years of daily use normal), the LED technology has every appearance of becoming very common in the very near future.
the LED does not stop there. Your chances go way beyond being just a source of cheap and durable lighting. This technology enables you to work with it as a decorative element more in question. The compositions, lights and shadows and the transformation of space that it causes makes it an extremely useful tool for decorators with a little creativity.
addition, installation is relatively simple. For example, just put a string of LEDs connected via Ethernet and control the entire installation from a PC . With a simple netbook can do the same job that previously would have needed a special control board and several people in charge.
Hopefully, as the Law says Haitz, LEDs soon increase their strength and lowering its price. There will be letting them go way into our homes.
