Please have in mind that I'm not a native speaker. Therefore I probably |
| 22 |
sometimes use terms that are not correct in a given context. I say this |
| 23 |
because I'm not sure whether "research" is the right word for what I'm |
| 24 |
doing when I try to get informations about specific products. Maybe the |
| 25 |
word "investigations" is better. :-) |

But to answer your question. I think that LED lighting will be the main |
| 28 |
"Light technology" for the next years or even decade(s). But there are |
| 29 |
maybe good chances that the classical semiconductor based LEDs will be |
| 30 |
replaced or at least supplemented by OLEDs or a similar technology. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
In the last months I replaced nearly all conventional and "energy saving" |
| 33 |
light bulbs in our house. I use LEDs with 4500K in the baths, floors and |
| 34 |
in the kitchen, 6500K LEDs in my office, 3200K LEDs in the bedrooms and |
| 35 |
4500K as well as 3200K LEDs in the livingroom. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I really prefer LEDs over conventional energy saving lamps, because they |
| 38 |
have a much higher lifetime and IMHO also a better light spectrum. |
| 39 |
Of course there are high quality full-spectrum energy saving lamps and |
| 40 |
I used these before in my office but they are expensive and they have a |
| 41 |
much shorter lifetime then LEDs. |
