LEDs offer a brighter future

By -
The BBC just published a report by the Energy Saving Trust: 'LEDs offer a brighter future', which discusses a field trial of LED light fittings in social housing to test he new technology:

'The study, carried out by the Energy Saving Trust (EST), measured the performance of more than 4,250 LED light fittings installed at 35 sites. It is predicted the technology could dominate the lighting market by 2015'

'James Russill, EST's technical development manager says "We are at one of those rare times when there is a revolution, I think it is fair to say, within the lighting sector. LEDs promise to be the way forward for the whole sector, to be honest. There are so many benefits: they can be smaller, brighter; it is one of those rare technologies where the trial has shown it performs better than the lighting systems it is replacing but, at the same time, using less energy"'

'The moon, unlike the sun, lets you look at her, it seems she wants to be looked at', commented Paolo Di Trapani, CEO of CoeLux, who is behind the latest innovation. CoeLux Moon aims to create a comforting and relaxing ambience and less light is used to produce the final effect than the original sunlight CoeLux uses. CoeLux’s artificial skylights have rocked the industry due to their convincing reproduction of sunlight. Now the company has launched a new version that aims to be just as successful at recreating the night sky. CoeLux Moon is being launched at Euroluce 2017, which is currently taking place in Milan. ‘The moon, unlike the sun, lets you look at her, it seems she wants to be looked at,' commented Paolo Di Trapani, CEO of CoeLux, who is behind the latest innovation.
