Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are well documented for their energy efficiency and usage diversity, but their poor colour rendering and colour temperature has slowed their adoption for domestic use. Expensive per unit in comparison to traditional light sources, they nonetheless dominate the research and development labs of some of the world's leading lighting manufacturers. This research project explores what it is that has got the lighting industry so excited about this technology that was discovered almost 90 years ago, whetherconsumers will share their enthusiasm and aims to establish the extent to which LEDs have revolutionised the lighting industry. This research project is an insightful, critical and interesting view into a rapidly developing technology which, if its current weaknesses are overcome, could change the way we see lighting and contribute to the slowing of global warming.
