Are LED's the future?
With power bills going ever upwards Gippslanders are thinking laterally in search of solutions. Carolyn Crossley from the Cowwarr Art Gallery has introduced LED lighting and is confident it will cut her power bill by 90 per cent.
With lighting being the major cost to the gallery's budget each year Carolyn began looking for a lighting system that was more cost effective more than a year ago.
With the help of both a local electrician and a lighting consultant, she has recently installed a $5,000 LED lighting system which both showcases the art works on display and also promises significant reductions in the gallery's power bill.
Carolyn believes the future of lighting will be vastly different to what we currently have on offer with new 'greener' lighting systems becoming available.
CEO of Lighting Council Australia, Bryan Douglas says that while LED lights are an addition to the market place, consumers should do their research before investing in the technology.
"LED's will permeate just about every feature, every lighting application including at the domestic level but the technology is still maturing, costs are still quite high but perhaps they're not quite ready yet for domestic applications."
While urging caution Mr Douglas says that a home owner determined to make the change to LED should follow some simple guidelines.
"There are good products available that will replace the down lights but it's a case of buyer beware. I'd recommend that your listeners only buy reputable product...my organisation has developed a certification program, in the absence of... (international) standards. You can look for a label with Lighting Council Australia. We're a not for profit organisation. We do not promote one brand over another... We see test reports on the products before we issue that label."

Hella to Develop and Market LED Lighting Systems With Hubbell Lighting
Hella to Develop and Market LED Lighting Systems With Hubbell Lighting
Hella, a global automotive supplier of electronics and lighting, is partnering with Hubbell Lighting to develop and market a non-automotive application of its LED lighting technology in North America.
The strategic partnership between the two companies is defined as a traditional cross-branding relationship in which Hella designs, develops and manufactures the light module or "engine", while Hubbell Lighting markets and distributes the lighting fixture into municipal markets.
The commercial LED light engine is designed for installation into existing cobra head style roadway fixtures. The LED light engine will be manufactured at Hella's facilities in Flora, Illinois.
The Hella LED module will be integrated into Hubbell's RM series roadway fixture at the company's plant in Christiansburg, Va., and also will be marketed as a retrofit kit for existing roadway luminaires. The product is an ideal entrant into the LED roadway market and is intended to replace 150-Watt high-pressure sodium and 175-Watt mercury lamps and fixtures. Hubbell Lighting will manage product marketing and distribution through its global sales network. The companies expect to introduce the new LED product line during the third quarter of 2011.
"We see tremendous growth opportunities for LED lighting in North America," said Steve Lietaert, vice president of program management for Hella Electronics Corporation who announced the partnership during a media briefing at Pine Lake Country Club in suburban Detroit. "LED technology offers an energy-efficient, low maintenance alternative to conventional lighting."
According to Richard Abernethy, vice president of Hubbell Outdoor, Industrial and Emergency Lighting, "The opportunity to retrofit existing street lighting provides municipalities a simple, cost-effective, sustainable solution for the growing need to conserve energy and control maintenance costs."
It is estimated there is an installed base of 34 million streetlights in place in the US.
Known as an innovator in lighting technology, Hubbell Lighting leads the industry with the first LEED? Silver certified corporate headquarters in the lighting industry, which they located in Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) Millennium Campus in Greenville, South Carolina.

Svelato il mistero: «Quei tre punti luminosi erano lanterne volanti lanciate a una festa»
No unidentified object in the skies of Peschiera: UFO enthusiasts and lovers will be disappointed but the three luminous spheres observed on Friday night and photographed by many people are simply "flying lanterns" of oriental origin, very popular in the West that work with the same principle of the balloon. Have been used by Alice Hope in-law Claudia's birthday, celebrated on the shores of Lake Hotel Al Fiore owned by the family.
"I've bought on the Internet and we switched on during the party, "he says with amusement. "Before we turned one, around 21.30. After a while, 'we have seen that someone has sent around the campsite in the air two and so, almost like a challenge, we decided to light all three together, which were up more than usual accomplices apparently favorable air currents. And to be honest, given the height reached, "says the lady," there also were people who said "you'll see that someone will think UFOs. " It seemed to me an exaggeration but is actually just happened. "
"Sky lanterns": this is the trade name for this kind of "bags" of average size of paper coated with non-flammable material and supported by a rigid part. The base plate is placed a kind of fuel which, when lit, heats the air that fills the lantern making it fly. A flight that can last for twenty minutes and ends only when it ends the fuel and the flame goes out. Do you know the altitude limit that can achieve: to secure several hundred meters. In the Eastern tradition the lanterns are a symbol of good wishes. "But this is our meaning: you should write, " concludes Alice Hope, "their wishes on paper lanterns, bringing them in heaven, help to achieve them. " GB
