We are at a dawn of new light sources competing with each other. Since the new standards were put into effect many manufacturers turned their heads in search of new light sources mostly focusing on LED and all their potential uses. But we are also witnessing creative ideas emerging with the use of previously established technologies and giving them a boost.
A new kind of light source uses LEC technology to create a paper-thin lighting device that is flexible and extremely light weight.  This flat panel light promises 75 percent more efficiency over incandescent bulbs. Potential ideas range from night light panels to lit glass counter tops.
The technology is based on External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp technology, promising directed light and five times the durability of compact fluorescent light bulbs. Originally used for backlights in liquid crystal displays, the unique form factor could be used for a variety of residential, commercial and industrial needs, inside and outside. The LEED approved lighting will also be dimmable, allowing for further efficiency.
