Taking the Heat: Silicone’s Unique Properties Help Create the Next Generation of LED Lighting

As global energy demand rises, the significant energy-saving potential of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting remains a top consideration for lighting manufacturers as well as designers, architects, and consultants looking to offer clients more sustainable options. LED lighting uses one-tenth the power of standard incandescent lighting and lasts 25 times longer — it even has the long-term potential to produce more light, with less cost, than compact fluorescent lamps, or CFLs. In fact, LED lighting may soon replace most lighting in homes, offices, public spaces, and in many other applications.
