Living Green - Episode 98 - 60 Year Light Bulb

LEDs are a sustainable lighting solution, lasting up to 60 years and reducing energy consumption. They use gallium nitride semiconductors and are traditionally made on sapphire wafers. By switching to silicon wafers, production costs decrease, making LEDs more affordable. As conventional bulbs are phased out, LEDs provide lighting that is three times more efficient than fluorescent lights. Available in various colors, LEDs offer a viable, eco-friendly lighting system for the future.

Discuss the potential lifespan of the new LED lights and its implications.
