LEDs are already being used in tail-lights for cars, and some companies like
Lexus are experimenting with LED headlights
Home lighting: Imagine a light-bulb with 100,000 constant hours of use. In other
words:
100,000 hours/24 hours a day = 4,166 days
4,166 days/365 days a year = 11.4 years.
Not only will the light bulb last for 11.4 years, but it will also require much less
current than a traditional light-bulb. If one LED-light bulb requires half the energy
of one Incandescent light-bulb, we may not have to suffer through rolling blackouts
ever again!
LEDs are already getting brighter. Here is an example of one of the most recent
LEDs to hit the market titled the Luxeon Rebel. It is both twice as bright, and
uses half the current of its predecessor of only 2 years.
Technology will eventually dictate that LEDs are the light source of the future.
