LED bulbs: The latest bright idea for lighting

The light bulb aisle at home improvement stores is an overwhelming display of options - CFLs, LEDs, incandescents, lumens and watts, warm light and cool light. That's not even getting into price variation.Sure, we're getting accustomed to the CFLs (compact fluorescent lighting), which are everywhere.Meanwhile, with little fanfare, higher-efficiency light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs are available for almost every application.LED is changing so fast that it's a full-time job just keeping up, says Preston Gomez, a certified lighting consultant and electrician at Sun Lighting, 4545 E. Broadway.
Products are here and more are coming all the time that have advantages over old lighting technology, he says. And, because of longer bulb life and LEDs' significantly greater efficiency - much more light per watt than incandescent or even fluorescent - he says the savings overcome the initial higher price.Porch, patio and garage outdoor lights. With lifespans up to 25,000 and 30,000 hours, these are guaranteed to last for years. If that's not a big enough plus, LEDs don't attract bugs so you can open the door without being bombarded by the swarming masses. Finally, they work well with motion and/or light sensors.
Although LEDs and CFLs are readily available to fit into standard lamps and lighting fixtures, the incandescent - despite some buzz to the contrary - will still be available.Market Research Forecasts U.S. Lighting Fixtures Market at $25 Billion by 2016.But the way you shop for bulbs changes.We've always shopped for bulbs in terms of watts which are "a function of power, not a function of light," says Levkowitz. Lumens are a measure of light and that's what consumers should be looking at no matter their choice of bulbs, he says.The oldest form of electric bulb is still the best for rendering colors accurately, though experts say LED is gaining ground. These are the bulb of choice for bathroom lighting where Preston Gomez suggests using light on the side of the mirror as well as over it. The best source of light for color rendering make them the go-to choice for applying makeup.
Popularized in the home market in the 1970s, halogen is a type of incandescent lighting, but smaller, more powerful than traditional incandescent bulbs, and sometimes dangerously hot. Halogen may still be recommended for detail lighting, making a feature - figurines or decorative objects - stand out. LED is gaining ground here, as it is also a compact light source, but much more efficient and without that insect scorching heat.

Market Research Forecasts U.S. Lighting Fixtures Market at $25 Billion by 2016

Demand for lighting fixtures in the US is projected to increase 7.4 percent annually to $25.1 billion in 2016. This represents a recovery from the declines posted between 2006 and 2011, as both motor vehicle production and construction activity recover from low 2011 levels.The commercialization of light emitting diode (LED) lighting is also having a significant impact on the industry. LEDs are longer-lived and more energy efficient than incandescent lamps but currently only account for a small share of demand. LED-based lighting fixtures are expected to provide especially strong growth through 2016 due to the rapid pace of technological advances in the LED light sources which will make them more energy-efficient, brighter and more affordable. In addition, while some LEDs can be used in place of traditional incandescent bulbs, lighting fixture manufacturers are also developing fixtures which are specifically designed for LEDs and help to optimize their performance.
Lighting fixture products include non-portable and portable fixtures, as well as separately sold parts and accessories such as aftermarket lamp ballasts, fittings, switches, globes and shades. Demand for lighting fixtures is dominated by non-portable fixtures, which accounted for nearly two-thirds of total lighting fixture demand in 2011. Non-portable fixtures derive their dominant position from widespread use in the full range of construction and vehicular applications. Demand for non-portable fixtures is also expected to post the strongest gains through 2016, benefiting from the rebound in construction activity and vehicle production.
The residential market is expected to post the strongest gains, nearly doubling between 2011 and 2016, as new residential construction activity rebounds. While demand in new housing will provide the larger share of growth, the residential repair and improvement segment will also rise from low 2011 levels, supported by both increasing housing sales and greater consumer spending.Throughout every major market segment, products that reduce the energy consumption of lighting will see the best prospects for growth. Much of this can be attributed to regulations banning the future sale of less energy-efficient lighting products, including the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007's restrictions on the sale of incandescent lamps. These regulatory efforts will spur increased demand for lighting fixtures designed to work with fluorescent, halogen, high-intensity discharge and LED light sources.
