LED (light emitting diode) technology has been taking the world by storm. LED news articles can be found all over the internet, crossing continents and languages. It’s beneficial for everyone to turn to LED lighting sources as their main lighting solutions. Perhaps, no other continent is making more moves to switch to LED lighting than Europe. According to these online LED News Articles, the two main organizations that are the major players in the European lighting industry – CELMA and ELC- have published papers and documents discussing LED-based lighting. These documents are for European citizens and businesses and give insights into relevant standards and specifications for lighting solutions. The purpose of these documents is to entice European society to make the switch to the more environmentally friendly LED lighting technology. They also inform society about the benefits of using LEDs including good-quality lighting, improved productivity, and environmental impacts. CELMA and ELC have been promoting LEDs for some time now. At the Strategies in Light Europe 2010 conference, they gave presentations involving the use of LEDs in practical applications. They expect the use of LEDs in Europe to continue to increase but do not shy away from the fact that there will be some issues to consider. The development of standards laid out in the new documents is a huge step in eliminating an issue. Other issues involved include what type of role the European Commission will play and what types of market segmentation will be necessary with the vast differences across the European continent.
