About LedPower.co.uk

The technology behind led lighting is simple. For the size of the led these are giants among lights. In the last ten years led lighting has evolved from status and indicator lights like the red light that tells you your television is on standby to the green light that tells you it is now been turned on

Future Developments

It is hard to know how far technology will take the humble led. It has already found its way into most of our lives without any us even realising it.

The roads we drive down have led cat eyes helping us see in the dark .road signs are illuminated by solar power led’s giving us safety messages and warnings in places saving lives.

We own phones which become smaller and more like computers every day as technology moves on. What would have filled an entire building a few years ago now can sit in the palms of my hands

We use screens and optical mice on our computers all using led’s.

The medical world relies on led’s to treat and cure illnesses’. Acne which can be helped by sunlight reacts well to certain kinds of led light boxes which can be purchased cheaper than a visit to a dermatologist’s office. These light boxes are small and cheap to use all it takes is thirty minutes relaxing in front of one of these light boxes to reduce and relieve suffering.

Certain kinds of psoriasis and eczema which can be debilitating to people suffering from them found led lights help cure and reduce localised inflammation.

People with seasonal problems brought on by a lack of daylight hours in the autumn and winter found using a led light box improved their mood lifting depression.

We also use led’s in freezer lighting as it can be kept below freezing without being affected by the cold temperatures.

In parts of America whole cities are being encouraged to use street light using led technology to light entire towns saving money in fact it is thought the scheme will pay for itself in savings within four years. This is on top of the fact that using led’s means the cost of the energy needed can be halved. Saving electricity costs. This scheme will also cut co2 emissions. It is also hoped it will make the blackouts of 2007 a thing that will never happen again.

This is obviously the way we need to go and research is continuing to help reduce our carbon foot print and lower co2 emissions making the world a better greener place to live in.

Every day new ideas are developed who knows what will happen to led’s whether they will stay with us. At the moment it looks to stay and become a big part of technology in our everyday lives.
