According to the International Energy Agency, 20% of all energy generated goes to lighting (June 2006), and half of that energy is wasted.
Since the 1960s, solid-state illumination has been undergoing a revolution that started with the invention of the visible-spectrum LED. Since then, continued innovations in the design of LEDs from leading manufacturers such as Avago, CREE, Lumileds, Optek, and Osram means that they are now powerful enough to offer an alternative to conventional sources with significant advantages in aesthetics, longevity, flexibility and, of course, efficiency. Devices such as Luxeon Rebel, Moonstone, XLamp, Golden Dragon have revolutionised the lighting market.
