Led lights: a Nobel Prize invention

The eyes of the world are focused on the potential of LED lights.

Incandescent lamps have given light to the twentieth century, the LED will illuminate the twenty-first. With this brief explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2014 was awarded to Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano Shuji Nakamura of Nagoya University and the University of California Santa Barbara.

These three Japanese scientists have devoted themselves to research on semiconductor diodes used for the LEDs with blue light, which led to the creation of the new generation of LED bulbs with low energy consumption.

These, in fact, can also be operated at low voltage due to the energy supplied by a photovoltaic solar panel. Studies have shown that the use of LED lamps can increase and improve the quality of life of 1.5 billion people without access to electricity.

Precisely because of this aspect, linked to progress, research and positive impact on people, the three Japanese scientists have been able to achieve this prestigious award, the Nobel Prize for physics.

Benefits of LED lights

Thanks to the invention of LED lamps, an acronym that comes from the English light emitting diode, now everyone can choose to buy and use light bulbs that are much more efficient and durable than traditional lamps.

During the award of the Swedish Academy of Sciences, we could all learn that as many as one quarter of the world's electricity is used to power the bulbs.

The blue light-emitting diode, which diffuse white light, and can therefore help to save valuable resources on the planet.

Applications and therefore the potential of LED lights that do not disperse heat as halogen or fluorescent lamps are immense. The LED bulbs, which in recent years have come into our homes, they represent only a fraction of their potential.

The LEDs have become one of the systems of choice for lighting homes, offices, shopping malls, hotels and even residential areas. For example, the various LED products offered by Philips, allow lighting effects, wall grazing, general, functional, guidance and much more.

LED Sticks

Mario Nanni, in 2009, designed for Viabizzuno Magic Wand LED, a light fixture for interior and exterior, made in transparent polycarbonate and UV-resistant.

This can be used on walls and ceilings, using the standard attacks or the specific kit, also a swinging one.

It radiates a white light, but in the version with RGB LED converter, you can modulate the light from white to various shades of color and is available in four sizes.

Also of note is the wand led Mantis, a full-fledged LED lamp that illuminates the PC keyboard when working around with no lights on.

Mantis is a lamp clip - on, invented by Clinton Fleenor, which illuminates the workspace with minimal interference with the surrounding environment.

It is portable and it runs on battery power, so it is ideal to allow a clear view of the keyboard of the PC, but it can also be placed on a bookshelf, on a different level of work or at any other angle to illuminate.

Ideal for those who work or stay at the computer at night, is also original because of its shape like a rocket. It is for sale on the site Quirky.com.

LED lighting: new products

And there is no shortage of proposals in the field of LED: LED light and its mixed together LED system design to create new products, of great charm.

As Cylinder, a ceiling light on the ceiling, ideal for illuminating display cases, bookcases, shelving, entrances and hallways. Or Pillar, ceiling wall light designed to illuminate entrances, porches, buildings and columns.

Among the creations of note is the indoor LED projector, proposed by iGuzzini.

The introduction of the whole range of LED projectors responds to the need to precisely match light quality and energy efficiency. The LEDs provide the best performance in terms of lifetime, color consistency and efficiency.

To realize a proper light direction should be that each projector is equipped with internal optics, reflectors and lenses, which produce a wide range of lighting effects: light beams from very concentrated intended for small objects or the illumination of details, in bundles light wall washer 's uniform illumination of walls and vertical display surfaces.

IKEA as well has introduced a range of LED lamps.

The LED lights have, in fact, revolutionized the lighting industry. They last for over twenty years, they can be integrated in lamps and for this reason is believed to be the source of a more intelligent light, functional and sustainable. The range features both LED bulbs and lamps with integrated LED.

Among the many examples of systems for LED lighting, we point out the light that turns on automatically when you open a drawer and that turns off when the drawer is closed.
So not to waste energy and you have the convenience of seeing in any condition.

There is also a multi-colored version, with a remote control that allows you to choose the desired hue and change it later.

The other led lighting, indoor and outdoor, are proposed by the iGuzzini range of products.

In the pictures you can also see some work areas and to the effect that always gives suggestions sophisticated and compelling.
