Living LED Screen Created by Bacteria!

What are you think to this nice picture? Yes, it is a LED screen. It is not an ordinary screen as is make from millions of fluorescent E. coli bacteria flash at once.

This fantastic idea is carried out by Jeff Hasty, a professor of biology and bioengineering and his research team in the university. Actually, they used 5 years to develop this living LED screen what they calls the “biopixels”. In 2008, they showed the bacteria can produce a glowing light with it’s biological clock inside. In 2010, they were able to let bacteria in different colonies to light at the same time. Now, the bacteria could communicate with each other even in different colonies and light together.

Then, the living LED screen was born!

Although incandescent is much cheaper than LEDs, almost 80% of the energy is give off in heat. HomeLights can help you enter LED market successfully!

Actually, with LED not only help improve energy efficiency, but also make your facilities more smart, like this data center http://www.datacenterjournal.com/design/lighting-as-the-unsung-hero-in-data-center-energy-efficiency/

The European Commission launches consultation on LED lighting for a massive deployment of this technology

The European Commission adopted a Green Paper on the future of LED lighting and launched a public consultation to identify the conditions for a massive deployment of this technology in Europe.

The LED lighting is a promising technology in terms of design and energy efficiency, since it promises energy savings up to 70% compared to traditional lighting. Thus, across Europe, its deployment could reduce the energy consumed by lighting by 20% by 2020.

But the massive deployment of LED lighting requires overcoming certain obstacles, the cost still too high compared to other types of lighting, lack of technology maturity, ignorance of the effects in terms of quality and safety and the lack of common standards. This is why the European Commission is organizing a consultation until 29 February 2012 to gather views on the following issues:

• What actions would overcome existing obstacles and accelerate the deployment of LED lighting in Europe?

• How to ensure the presence in the market for LED luminaires that are of good quality, safe and consistent with consumer expectations?

• How to strengthen the cooperation of the lighting industry with architects, lighting designers, installers and electrical systems in construction and building?

• How EU could act to support entrepreneurship and competitiveness in the lighting industry?

LED lamp, where the way is?

Since the sense of environmental spreads widely, people prefer to choose a “green life style” which is energy conservation. According to this, specialists forecast the development of LED lamp should be a lot of worthy.

What’s the strange thing is that the clients still prefer the incandescent lamps even when the technology of LED is highly developed. Of course, the price is a big factor for clients to choose. Generally, LED lamps cost twice more than the incandescent lamps. While recently years, LED lamps tend to be cheaper and cheaper, but few of customers will choose LED lamps.

Concerning about the research result, the mainly reason is the packing file. Normally, clients can’t distinguish which product is better just based on the LED lamp packing. So if we have a standard to be shown on the packing file, maybe our customer can decide which one they really need instead of buying the lamp they have to take a risk.

COMBINE SOLAR ENERGY WITH LED LIGHTINGS

As we all know, LED lighting are the most energy-saving lightings nowadays, while solar energy is the most sustainable energy in the world. Have you ever try to combine these 2 source into 1 product? It has been realized by WakaWaka creators.

With this product, you never need to worry about the possibility of fires, explosion, asphyxiation and toxic fumes. It is solar charged and portable. You can bright your apace at anytime where there is the sun.
