Sustainable and Ecological Lighting: Saving Energy and Money with LED as a Light Source

The market for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in lighting is booming. It’s hardly surprising since LEDs consume less energy than incandescent bulbs and discharge lamps, help protect the environment, and have a much longer service life. Deploying suitable auxiliary optical systems and fiber optics allow light to be focused and directed more precisely, improving light quality and reducing light pollution. Excessive light spillover in urban areas is a concern among many scientists and environmentalists because it can alter the behavior of some birds and animals as well as change the quality of life for humans. Properly designed LEDs can bring back the “dark skies.”
