Lighting accounts for about one percent more than the average American household energy usage, even to the commercial building energy use four. Traditional incandescent light bulbs for energy efficiency is very low, only 5-10% of their electricity consumption in order to change the illumination light output can be converted to use the rest as heat are wasted. Compact fluorescent lamps with higher energy efficiency, but in terms of performance and life is clearly insufficient. LED-based solid-state semiconductor lighting to a small minority of innovative technology since coming to realize the considerable progress. As a case study of residential lighting, as shown, LED has become in many areas has become a viable option. Moreover, a series of new technological advances for business applications provide more choices.
Within the lighting industry, leading manufacturers and lighting designers / teachers are aware of relying solely on the selection of energy-saving effect and can not guarantee the massive popularity of energy-efficient light source. Final term, energy efficiency, the comprehensive advantages of design, quality, performance and price are the key decision in the commercial and residential LED lighting market share.
A few years ago, Molex joined a by businesses and government agencies in the industry alliance, the implementation of a program to improve the technical level of the semiconductor lighting project, significantly reducing energy consumption while maintaining superior lighting quality. Oak Ridge National Laboratory
(OakRidgeNationalLaboratories, ORNL) of the measured results unambiguously confirm the LED energy savings, as well as its lighting quality can be optimized by proper design and technology.
