In recent years we have witnessed the birth of
a fascinating new technology which will revolutionize the world
of artificial light. Light Emitting Diodes are microstructure
solids and completely shock resistant. They last a 1,000 times
longer than conventional light bulbs, put halogen bulbs in the
shade, hardly give off any heat and consume less power. LEDs contain
no detrimental filling gases and emit no ultraviolet light. Thus,
they are going to play an important role in any future concepts
for environment protection. Furthermore, their small size allows
for completely new, undreamt-of applications.
