With 20% of our electricity being used to produce light, the simplest thing we can do to save electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our home and businesses is to replace our light bulbs. With countries like Australia already phasing out traditional incandescent lights, many new high efficiency lighting systems will begin reaching mass market acceptance. High brightness Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) represent the de facto winner of the new revolution in lighting.
