There are lots of very exciting things happening in the development of new lighting technologies. The desire to save energy and use fewer natural resources in lighting manufacturing means that big changes are right around the corner.
General Electric is developing LED lighting technology that makes use of organic compounds that are incorporated into light emitting diodes or OLEDs. This technology still has lots of problems to solve, but it actually works in the lab.
Sheets of plastic film containing OLEDs emit a blue-white glow when an electric current is applied. Because these sheets are flexible, it may be possible someday to have your wallpaper or ceiling also be your light source.
The OLED panels provide a diffuse lighting source that doesn’t need lamp shades or frosting like a conventional tungsten filament light bulb. GE and Siemens are already working with manufacturers of devices like cell phones and televisions, even though the cost is still far too great to be practical. That, no doubt, will surely change.
Meanwhile, anybody who has watched their electrical meter spin at dizzying speeds when all the lights are on, has better days to look forward to.
