ECIS-Veeco: Research Driving Down the Costs of Efficient LED Lighting

On February 14, 2013, in Energy, Energy Efficiency, Materials Science, Partnership, Research & Capabilities, Solid-State Lighting

Solid state lighting (SSL), which uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs), has the potential to be 10 times more energy efficient than traditional incandescent light bulbs. Currently, 20% of U.S. energy use powers lighting. SSL technology can potentially significantly cut U.S. lighting energy use, reducing electricity consumption for lighting by one-fourth. That’s why since 2003, the Department [...]
