In today�s green-centric world, designers and manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to improve energy efficiency in their products. From cell phone manufacturers to PC makers, new industry standards are emerging that will significantly impact the rate of power consumption in electronic devices. In the lighting industry, tremendous energy savings can also be realized with a change from incandescent or fluorescent technologies to LED lighting.

A light-emitting diode (LED) s a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices, and are increasingly used for lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.

With the development of high efficiency and high power LEDs it has become possible to incorporate LEDs in lighting and illumination. Replacement light bulbs have been made as well as dedicated fixtures and LED lamps. LEDs are used as street lights and in other architectural lighting where color changing is used. The mechanical robustness and long lifetime is used in automotive lighting on cars, motorcycles and on bicycle lights
