Nanocrystal Coated LEDs - The Best On The Market

By Nick March 13, 2008

LED Building

Some reports say that now nothing can stand in the way of LEDs. With the nanocrystal coating, the LEDs are more efficient than the fluorescent light, are warmer and produce a very beautiful white light. These LEDs are greener considering the fact that a quarter of the electricity in U.S. is used by illuminated buildings and we all know that the electricity comes from coal power plants which pollute through greenhouse gas emissions.

Current commercial LEDs are based on blue LEDs, but coated in phosphorus they change into an yellow glow. According to Hilmi Volkan Demir from the Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey, the color possibilities are infinite with the nanocrystal coating: “Using combinations of nanocrystals, one can generate any emission spectrum as desired”.

    Some reports say that now nothing can stand in the way of LEDs. Not even nuclear weapons. We are all doomed.

    Some reports say that now nothing can stand in the way of LEDs. Not even Chuck Norris.

    Chuck Norris invented the LED when he was three years old by rubbing his beard on a pile of dirt. He also roundhouse kicked Thomas Edison back in time from a future in which novel, non-LED light sources are considered collectible similar to how we consider Pez dispensers to be. Thomas Edison was merely a struggling purveyor of novelty lamps who just happened to be at the wrong time in the wrong place.

    Does this mean they’ll be able to synthesize high-band radio and microwave using a similar technique?

    This is amazing. I want some for my house.

    Does using lower power LED lights in buildings mean lighter and cheaper wiring and very long replacement intervals? Eat Shit oil Barons, American ingenuity is going to kick your asses once and for all, this is just page one in the battle. You will have to find easier economies to rape, your good times are over in the USA.P>S> We are going to export these things and you may end up drinking your stinking carcinogenic oil.

    Yes, Uncle, because America invented the LED.
    PS, I don’t know who your rant was directed at but America are also the most notorious for ‘raping economies’ and oil barons.
