The future of LED lighting panels could see flexible light sheeting become commonplace thanks to a new breakthrough by researchers. The production process, reported by Plastics News, is described as like the roll-to-roll technique used in newspaper printing. The technology, which has been the result of three years of research at the Swiss federal laboratories for material science and technology, is now described as ‘ready to market’ as its already…

Previously we wrote about advances in LED panel lights which researchers were using to grow leafy crops which could be utilised in extreme locations from deserts to snowfield, and even in outer space. Well, there’s been a further development in the use of LED lighting to grow crops – meaning we won’t just be limited to salads when we take our first holiday on Mars. Cereal plants like oats and…

So, as you might already be aware, LED light panels are already touted as the next big thing on the internet - providing superfast connections through new Li-Fi technology - but a new study has found that it could be even more revolutionary to our lives in the future. The research, led by the University of Arizona, aimed to test the most energy-efficient ways to grow food in space for…

While converting to LED light panels is great for your wallet, it's also great for the environment - using more energy efficient bulbs that last much longer, therefore creating less waste. If the environment is something you're particularly interested in, then you might have known about (or even taken part in) Earth Hour - a global initiative where the world turns off its lights to raise awareness about the issues…

The M8 motorway will be bright for night time motorists, as it has been revealed that more than 100 lamps will be replaced with LED light panels. Scotland TranServ, on behalf of Transport Scotland, stated that the second phase of a big overhaul of lights in Renfrewshire began last night (March 13th). The work between Junctions 16 and 17 is expected to last five nights, with the new LED lights…

LED panel suppliers look set to be pretty busy over the coming months - it has just been revealed that the nightly illumination of Niagara Falls will be upgraded to LEDs as part of a $4 million investment. According to Buffalo Business First, the new state-of-the-art system will last for 25 years, use 82 per cent less power than the lights currently in operation and also need a lot less…

The environmental impact isn’t the only reason to make the change from regular incandescent bulbs to LED panel lighting – it’s also a money-saver in the long term as LED bulbs use energy more efficiently than their more traditional counterparts. Of course, there’s an initial outlay in cost in making the change, replacing your old lighting with LED panels, so we’re sure one of the concerns for this when it…

It looks as though councils in Scotland will be making heavy investments in LED panel surface mounting kits and other LED accessories, with almost one-third of all street lamps in the country set to be LEDs by April next year. Figures from the Scottish Futures Trust (SFT) show that of the 900,000 street lights currently in operation in Scotland, some 125,000 of these are now LEDs. By April 2017, this…
