It might sound too good to be true, but Firefly LED in Austin, Texas, state otherwise. The ranges of “Smart LED” bulbs, produced by the company, have a large heat-sink surrounding the unit, which reduces the temperature […]

Their quantum nanorod chemical lighting system could one day replace LEDs and run without electricity – just like fireflies, only better. The breakthrough system is said to be 20 to 30 times more efficient than previous […]
