Abstract

Lighting accounts for approximately 30% of the total energy consumption in the US. An increasing focus on energy efficiency and sustainability is driving the adoption of efficient lighting technologies. Solid state lighting, in particular light emitting diodes (LED) offer significant potential for replacing a large part of the general lighting applications, currently occupied by incandescent and halogen lamps. This paper discusses the opportunities and challenges for LEDs in general lighting, and shows the overall impact that this technology can have.
