A new report on the life-cycle energy usage of energy-efficient lighting by Cree, Inc. shows that LED lighting products are now more efficient than traditional lighting products when compared across the high-volume applications of recessed downlighting and display spotlighting. Evaluating light fixtures and applications, the white paper’s energy comparisons demonstrate that LEDs offer clear advantages in terms of energy costs and environmental impact over traditional lighting such as incandescent, halogen and compact fluorescent bulbs.

The second annual SYLVANIA Socket Survey, released today, reveals a paradox in Americans' attitudes towards lighting - while 74 percent have switched to an energy-saving light bulb in past year, the vast majority still don't know about the impending federal phase-out of incandescent bulbs, starting in 2012 with the 100-watt bulb. While increasingly price sensitive, the majority of respondents have warmed up to the idea of eco-lighting and say they are likely to purchase a CFL, halogen or LED bulb in the future.

Moreover, Christoph Zellweger has joined the product management team at headquarters to contribute to the effort. Recertification of the ISO 9001:2008 quality management system has also been successfully completed.
The background lighting provided in a room has an influence on how we taste wine. This is the result of a survey conducted by researchers at the Institute of Psychology at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany. Several sub-surveys were conducted in which about 500 participants were asked how they liked a particular wine and how much they would pay for it. It was found that the same wine was rated higher when exposed to red or blue ambient light rather than green or white light. The test persons were even willing to spend in excess of one Euro more on a specific bottle of Riesling when it was offered in red instead of green light.
