The governments in many countries have been nudging their citizens to move away from electricity guzzling incandescent bulbs to greener alternatives like LED. Incandescent bulbs are, in fact, banned in a number of countries. According to an estimate, the ban on the use of incandescent bulbs has helped Europe save as much as 40 TWh of electricity each year, not to mention reduction of CO2 emissions by as much as 15 million tons.

Energy-saving Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) could replace WiFi technology for transmitting digital data, without compromising the quality of light or environmental benefits, a study has shown. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh in the UK found that transmitting digital data via LEDs at the same time as using them to generate light does not make the light dimmer or change its colour. It also does not make LEDs more energy- hungry. These concerns have held back the more widespread adoption of Light Fidelity, or LiFi, which uses household LEDs to enable data transfer, said Wasiu Popoola of the University of Edinburgh, who led the research. However, the findings help eliminate key hurdles to using LEDs to help satisfy the increasing global thirst for wireless communications. Preserving the quality of lighting is, in particular, a vital consideration as it can have a major effect on the physical and mental well-being of people in both their homes and their workplaces.
