L.E.D.: A History of the Future of Lighting (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546737421)

What kind of people does it take to change the light bulb? That is the question Bob Johnstone addresses in this follow-up to Brilliant , his critically acclaimed book on the origins of the LED revolution. The answer is passionate individuals determined to make the world a better - and better-lit - place. The book tells the story of what has been called "one of the fastest technology shifts in human history." It is a shift that affects us all. Lighting accounts for up to twenty percent of the electricity we consume. LEDs use much less electricity than incandescent light bulbs, leading to huge reductions in our energy consumption, and helping to slow down climate change. But the LED revolution also encompasses light for better health and year-round crops, as well new, previously undreamed-of applications.
