Long before saving the planet from global warming became the politically correct thing to do for millions of us, science hunkered down and brought in many technological advances aimed at reducing the consumption of electricity in the developed world. One of the most effective developments was the light-emitting diode – now know to us all as the LED bulb. Not only did it last ages longer than conventional bulbs, it unfortunately cost a good deal more, but the initial cost was balanced by the saving on our electricity bills. Maybe it’ll never be proven that the introduction of LED bulbs did anything at all to save the planet, but what it did was spectacular in terms of home light effects, stage and event lighting and much more. Decorative lighting and light designs for entertainments are hundreds of times more exciting and amazing than ever before. The art of stage lighting has been revolutionized by the new technology, and is especially effective when used on live music tours or for gigs due to be televised. Perhaps the first city to embrace the technology wholeheartedly was Las Vegas, with its amazing light and sound shows, huge concert stages and massive buildings lit up like Christmas trees. Now we’re all joining in and attempting to put on our own Vegas lighting effects, and not just at Christmastime. Parties, celebrations, even weddings and local festivals are glowing and sparkling with designer colors and effects. It’s all a long way from the first, dim, electric lights which replaced oil lamps and candles, and in such a relatively short time! Australia’s long, warm nights are perfect for outdoor events, festivals and suchlike, and Aussies certainly know how to party! LED lighting was actually invented in the 1950s, but hardly used commercially except in alarm clocks and indicators. Further improvements in the technology have resulted in the much smaller bulbs now being viable in the home and commercial spaces for down-lighting, thus saving money on regular replacements. For a really funky effect, a led strip lighting kit for the home can use single or multiple colors, with color temperature adjustability as an option. Whether you’re throwing a patio party, organizing a local concert or just need outdoor lights, LED floodlights, outdoor deck lighting or even colored, flexible strip lighting can brighten up the entire experience.
