No Lamp is a Good Lamp

We have lamps, lights, tube lights, bulbs, and other lighting devices everywhere. Look around you and I bet you will be able to see at least two or three such fixtures. What can be done about the lights and lamps we use that just end up in landfills. How many times have you driven past houses where someone is throwing away an old lamp? How about if we just make them all disappear? Oh, I like the sound of that. No more freakishly tall and skinny light posts that seem to stand over us and mock our very existence...more on that later, maybe.

What if the ceiling or a wall became a large flat light? You flick a switch and the entire ceiling surface area will light up. What if that could be your light source and what if it can be 50% more efficient than the regular lights we now use. Introducing Lumiette an energy company that claims to create "efficient, cost-effective lighting."

s These lights are based off External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp technology which was originally used as a backlight in liquid crystal displays. Coupled with dimming technology, these new lights can not only save a ton of money and CO2, they can also be implemented almost anywhere. New houses or apartments can have these built into their walls or ceilings. Utilize an intelligent lighting system which can turn on or turn off lights by detecting the presence of a person and you can expect even greater conservation of electricity.

Now if only they can fetch me a cold beverage from the refridgerator...
