Tokuyama will start to let users evaluate the LED within 2013, aiming to commercialize it by fiscal 2015. The company expects that the LED will replace disinfectant mercury lamps used in the fields of medical care, water purification and food manufacturing.
LEDs set to eclipse fluorescents in lighting industry. Although priced at around 20 times more than the incandescents, LED lighting bulbs last much longer and use far less electricity, a savings that homeowners are beginning to recognize.
As retailers like Home Depot and Lowe's sell LED high bay light aggressively and manufacturers improve the technology, prices for them are falling steadily.
In addition, because the light in LED bulbs comes from chips, companies have been able to develop software applications that let users control the bulbs, even change the color of the light, with tablets and smartphones. Apple sells a three-pack of such bulbs, made by Philips, with the hardware to operate them for about $200.
