According to the British Daily Mail reported that a revolution in lighting is quietly engaged in the traditional light bulbs and energy saving light bulbs will be fierce competition. Currently, the University of Cambridge researchers have developed an inexpensive light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs, which enables less energy to be released from the bright light. The price is only £ 2, the sustainable use of 60 years.
British scientists have newly developed light-emitting diode
Although this score currency LED light bulb is small, but it is the traditional incandescent light bulbs lighting efficiency 12 times that of low energy fluorescent light bulbs 3 times. It is different from the current energy-saving light bulbs, full power after the light directly. UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council that the use of new LED bulbs will reduce electricity consumption for three quarters of home lighting. If every home and office installation of such light bulbs, will the total annual lighting electricity consumption 20% to 5%.
Early January of this year, the British "Daily Mail" reported that, people are using energy saving light bulbs, and many shops to stop inventory of traditional incandescent bulbs of 100 watts. The resulting panic of many consumers to buy. The British Government that the use of energy-saving light bulbs can reduce the release of 500 million tons of carbon dioxide each year.
LED light bulbs they use a man-made semiconductor materials - gallium nitride, used to make light-emitting diodes. As low-cost light-emitting diode size and brightness compared with the traditional advantages of the lamp, it has been used to make bike lights, cell phone lights, camera flash and so on.
But if the manufacturing cost of LEDs were too expensive for widespread use, or cost, this is because the material must be manufactured from light-emitting diodes, "sapphire wafer" (sapphirewafers), means that the production costs of LED light bulbs will be higher, about 20 pounds. Currently, gallium nitride Cambridge Research Center scientists propose effective solutions, they will use silicon wafers to create a light-emitting diodes, thereby greatly reducing costs. Durham County, RFMD has now begun manufacturing prototypes of the product is expected to be the first LED light bulb on the market in two years.
