LED is Smart Technology

NEMO

Since 2010, NEMO has been an official museum with a historical collection. The heritage collection, therefore, consists of more than 17,000 objects in areas such as technology in and around the house, energy generation and storage, installation technology and lighting. In the new exhibition, you can see a number of lamps from the beautiful and very special collection of electric lamps.

SMART TECHNOLOGY

Since September 2012, there has been a European ban on the trade in light bulbs and everyone will illuminate their home with light sources such as LED. The new exhibition from NEMO Amsterdam is therefore very special. The innovation hall of NEMO shows sustainable technology / clean tech where the focus is on Smart Light, Smart Transport & Smart Electricity. This exhibition puts LED in the spotlight and shows that we are entering the "new light age". From November 27 you can learn all about all kinds of applications of LED light: from LED in fashion to LED in the hospital. In addition, the exhibition is about the future possibilities of this relatively new light form.

LIGHT DRESS

During museum night he was already worn by presenter Sylvana Simons, the luminous dress designed by Leon Klaassen Bos. This dress has been specially designed for the new NEMO exhibition. It is full of small LED lights that can turn the dress from a rain tree to a sea of ​​flames. Three other dresses with lighting can be seen during the exhibition. One of the dresses was worn by none other than Lady Gaga and another was specially designed by Philips for Fergie, the singer of the Black Eyed Peas.

FUTURE

The possibilities for the future are almost endless because LED lights can be made very small. The LED technology fits well in a sustainable environment, they consume less and last longer. An LED lamp can last for up to 25 years, whereas an incandescent lamp usually fails after one year. In addition, an LED light consumes only 12% of the electricity that an incandescent bulb would normally need to give light.

WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SEE?

In addition to applying light within fashion, you can also go to NEMO for various other purposes where light is used. For example, you can see how light is used to treat jaundice in babies and how, for example, LED lamps can help children in third world countries study. They also show what LI-FI is and how it works, this is a kind of wireless internet of light waves. There is also the possibility to find out if you are a morning or evening person, this is good to know for installing  LED bathroom lighting. All in all, this exhibition is a great opportunity for a peek into our future and the developments in the field of LED.

Instead, they rely mainly on kerosene to give some light as soon as night falls. It is time for an alternative. Why a new light source? Research by The World Bank has shown that it is estimated that around 780 million women and children have inhaled smoke from kerosene because they have no alternative light sources. That smoke is equivalent to smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day. 60% of adults, female lung cancer victims in developing countries are non-smokers. The vapors cause many eye infections and cataracts, but it is also life-threatening. In India alone, there are 2.5 million people a year with burns from blown kerosene lamps. In addition to the health risks, the costs of kerosene are also too high, which can add up to 10 to 20% of household income. GravityLight Applying the old principle of gravity has le...
