Spotlight Falls On 'Next Generation' LEDs

White LEDs are being hailed as the 'next big thing' in lighting design.

Although they've been around for two decades, the 'next wave' of innovative products that is emerging is expected to be dominated by products utilising white LED in spotlights and downlights, (pictured).

These will effectively 'take-on the existing CFL and halogen products'. Remote phosphor modules are said to be a crucial element in the development.

These are an array of LEDs that sit below a phosphored panel where the individual LEDs are not actually visible.

A range of such modules is being marketed in the UK, with luminaire makers such as High Technology Lighting supplying leading companies like Midlands-based Premier Lighting.

Industry experts say that advantages are many, with both efficacy and long life assured.

Around 50,000 hours is being touted as a realistic 'life' for lights, as opposed to around 4,000 for halogen units, with obvious savings in replacements quickly outweighing the cost of installation.
