“On behalf of Bridgelux, I would like to express disappointment in the recent Department of Energy rollback of requirements for energy-efficient bulbs. It is a shame that the U.S. has led in the development of LED technology, but has lagged behind
Light is far more complicated than you think. Color, illumination levels, directionality, cost and heat dissipation are just some of the parameters that lighting manufacturers and designers consider when building their products. A lamp for retail is vastly different than a security light for a warehouse. Most consumers and businesses look at light bulbs and see a commodity. Instead, they are really looking at a thousand different engineering and technological choices.
