Why are LED lighting devices better than the traditional ones?

There is a continuous innovation in the display technology. The cathode ray tube based TVs or computer monitors are now giving way to the more advanced display lighting systems. These are the modern day liquid colour display and the light emitting diode technology based display lighting technologies. Companies like Sony are now fast outdating the CRT based display with the flat screen, practical LCD TV or the LED lighting technology based displays.

What makes LED so special? Why is its usage fast outstripping the demand of the CRT displays? There are many advantages which come with the LED. Some of these are the following:

1.Widespread use: LED lighting has been there for some decades now and is therefore a proven technology. Its use is not confined only to the TVs or ,monitors but is also being used extensively in different electronic and lighting devices like bulbs, telephones, and others.LCD TV have life in tens of thousands of hours.

5.Score over CFL: You must not confuse the LED with the CFL lighting devices. The latter contains mercury which makes it necessary to handle it with extreme care. The presence of mercury makes them dangerous to use. These are therefore very environment unfriendly.

6.Do not heat up: The LED lighting devices does not heat up even after using them for several hours. The incandescent lights and the CFL can get hearted within a few minutes but not the LED ones.

7.Constant light throughout their life: The light of the LED devices is of same intensity all through their lifetime. These do not get dim. In fact, they fade only when these are at the end of their very long lifetime.

All these factors make the light emitting diode based lighting devices extremely popular, especially among those who want to reduce their monthly electricity bills as well as are conscious of the damage to environment. These might be more expensive than the traditional ones but when their advantages are considered, these are found to be more practical.

Video cameras come of age technologically

The convergence of technologies has added numerous features and functionalities to the products. Now you have the mobiles coming with high resolution cameras. The TV, computers and internet are getting interconnected. This convergence is aptly called the ICE convergence. Though the convergence is enabling the creation of products with multiple features, some of the deeper complexities in the features that are essential for getting top quality performance have to be compromised. So, while the digital cameras are there in the mobile phones, these can not give the same quality pictures as that of the digital SLR Camera . The latter are still the most preferred ones by the serious professional photographers since these provide more control to the user to change their setting manually.

The same is true even for the Video Cameras . While you can turn the mobile camera to the video mode and capture the moving objects, these are no match for the video cameras which are singularly used for this purpose. Digital mobiles cameras are just one of the types of video cameras. The latter are broadly categorized into two types. The first type is the one which is used for the live broadcast of the videos as these are captured into the camera. This is the one which is used in the beaming live TV news, or for military purposes and even in the industries for maintaining a watch on the goings on of the different parts of the premises. The second type of the video cameras is the one which does not beam the proceedings live in real time. Rather, it records the captured images on some kind of optical device, hard disk or other storage medium. This is the most commonly used in taking the videos of the marriages or even for film production purposes.

While it is true that there is a dilution of the performance levels while incorporating different products features into one product, it is also a fact that the market of Consumer Electronics continually demands the new products. There is always an interest for these products among the masses and if reputed companies like Sony or Samsung do not keep pace with the market demand and constant product innovation in design and technologies, there is a good chance of the companies being outdone by their competitors.

Talking of video cameras, it is interesting to note that even these can now be used without the wires. The future is getting wireless and companies in the consumer electronics segment are now making products which do not make use of the wires for operations. The wireless video cameras are operated with the help of radio controls. These make use of the transmitters of different distance range of operations and the receivers. For common applications, you can use the ground to ground based systems or even the airborne systems. This innovation will help a great deal to keep your marriage parties or functions as well as your homes and office clean and clutter free.
