So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Useful Information On OLED Lighting

By April Briggs


Usually referred to as Organic Light Emitting Diodes, they are panels that light up or illuminate when electricity is involved and created out of carbon-based organic materials. Today, people are more into beautiful and efficient displays. The light emitted is made possible by bulls that contain a thin layer of material that is light emitting. OLED lighting is the only technology that makes larger area lighting as opposed to line or point lighting.

The light product has been termed closest to natural light compared to other sources because its soft diffused and more so attractive. The panels created out of this technology can be manipulated in terms of colour, are flexible and transparent. Among the various companies that have been seen to already avail these panels to their clientele include; LG Chem, Konica Minolta, and Phillips. The production is however very minimal and the prices are very high.

Rapid advancements in performance and prices are being foreseen and it is expected that the OLED market will emerge in force in the next one or two years. UBI research also forecasts that the market will reach 82 million and experience exponential growth till 2020. UBI is considered the most optimistic analyst. Most researchers believe that this technology will not take off.

The illumination produced is not bright meaning that panels can be mounted in fixtures that are naked to ones eye thus doing away with the idea of having to install diffusers to cut the glare. This approach therefore creates opportunities for the development of lighting designs. Additionally, the technology is closely related to the LED although it has benefits that are slightly similar to the same.

The overall design of the OLED is of high quality and the light produced can easily be traced to the source. The lifespan of these elements lies between 30,000 and 40,000 hours of continuous use which is less than the 50,000 hours of use of LED. Their effectiveness is also four times better than that of compact fluorescent bulbs.

Production companies face an education challenge since most consumers have not heard of this technology. This is definitely an area that they will have a hard time working on. Most people stop in their tracks when they see OLED products because of their beauty. Inherent energy efficiency advantages are the key benefit in the lighting market that most consumers are looking for.

Lighting elements are required to meet some standards of lumens per watt that this technology has not achieved yet. The biggest push to this technology will be when consumers are able to play in the commodity market which will lead to a lowered price. This knowledge opens new doors for designers, architects and creatives.

You can entertain and amaze your visitors at home with an OLED wall that lets you play with light. In the future, the fixtures will have the ability to react to the people around. Sound and motion will be detected by a hidden mirror and microphone allowing you to be reflected as a living light form. This will bring the need for planning a light installation as the design will not only be in one plane.
