A startup company in MA, QD Vision, says it can combine LEDs with 5 billionths of a meter wide crystals referred to as quantum dots. This will reduce energy use and improve light quality. BusinessWeek’s Green Business article goes on to say QD Vision and its partner, Nexxus Lighting (NEXS), are coming out with a $100 bulb that uses 12 watts, matches the output of a 75-watt incandescent bulb and can last 50 times longer. Oh boy, am I impressed.
