LED/OLED Bulbs: The Future Cost Effective Lighting

Tuesday, May 4, 2010

Everything here is all about LED bulbs. But, before going into this topic, it will be wise to know all about the LED facts. In physics the terms LED stands for Light Emitting Semiconductor diodes. These semiconductor diodes have the property of automatic light generation to the forward direction or at the direction an LED semiconductor is pointed towards. In the recent years LED’s are widely used as the indicator lights in many electronic devices, musical instruments, vehicle’s dashboards, modern home decorative items etc. LED bulbs are already in use. The number of LED bulbs users is growing up at a good pace. You have seen the LED based traffic signal indicator lights; such lights are in use everywhere. The color of light will be generated from an LED depends about the components used in producing an LED bulb or light emitting device. But, as of now, LED generates two categories of lights, these are as (1) visible light, and (2) ultraviolet or infrared type of light. An advanced version of LED named as OLED (organic light emitting diode) has taken in the technologically advanced countries of the world due to its cost effective and safe to environment properties. At present OLED semiconductors are tremendously being used in television screens, computer monitors, small, portable system screens such as mobile phones and PDAs, watches, advertising, information and indication, and at your home soon going to find place as the LED bulbs. OLEDs can also be used in light sources for general space illumination, and large-area light-emitting elements. Due to the younger stage of development, OLEDs typically emit less light per unit area than inorganic solid-state based LEDs which are usually designed for use as point-light sources. In Recent time, LED bulbs proved to be the best means of saving power and electricity bills.

Why LED Bulbs at Your Home?
Around five years back, I used to use ordinary Tube lights and bulbs for lighting up my home. These would cost my electricity bill higher in every month. Later, I came to know about compact fluorescent light (CFL) as the best energy saving bulbs. Installing CFL bulbs had been a nice experience in saving electricity bills (around 40% down). And recently, I have replaced the existing CFL bulbs with
and experiencing the great pleasure of 70% reduced electricity bill. Being an environment conscious person and well aware about the reason of global warming, I would like to suggest you to install LED bulbs at your home. These will not only make you financially gain, but consume very less power which will help in storing power in the electricity production centers and will help in less exploitation of the natural resources as water and power.
