The evolution of the LED luminaire The luminaire changes skin! Evolution or revolution, lighting is changing unprecedented, driven by the development of new technologies. The lighting as we know it is living its last years. Our way of understanding light will evolve, in a context of energy savings leading to a gradual disappearance of incandescent bulbs. New solutions are emerging, such as the low energy lamp, the LED and the OLED (organic light emitting diode). Promising technologies for energy impact, but whose benefits are still difficult to grasp. Rethinking the luminaire This upheaval brings about a change in the way the luminaire thinks. Some manufacturers and designers no longer dissociate light source and support, but reason overall, even consider disposable lamps that last 15 to 20 years. Another innovation still little is known, the OLED, which offers powerful and non-aggressive ambient lighting, allows designing lamps without lampshades, hig...
