Configurable and customisable outdoor led lighting
Cree has released a spaceship looking outdoor led product. The aeroblades are optimized for outdoor directional lighting. The luminaires can be fine-tuned through the use of NanoOptics and the number of blades to meet specific illumination needs in much smaller increments than either traditional designs or competitive LED products

Llot llov has a pendant style light adjustable in height and orientation. It has a bunch of wooden pearls with the led light at the end, topped by a silicone shade. It appears it has not migrated to their webshop and the website has a few bugs.

Increased use of fluorescent lighting may result in eye disease
Another reason to go with LED lighting:
Australia’s Helen L. Walls, BSc(Hons), MPH, PhD, Kelvin L. Walls, PhD and Geza Benke, PhD recently published research n the American Journal of Public Health, indicates that increased exposure to some fluorescent tubes may result in increased cases of Pterygium (Surfer’s Eye) and cataracts. This is die to the increased ultra violet radiation.
“Many people worldwide are exposed to artificial light sources at home and at work which until recently, mainly entailed incandescent lighting,” she said.
“The shift to fluorescent lighting means those people are now being exposed to ultraviolet radiation, which is compounded by increasing urbanisation and workers spending more of their work time in buildings instead of fields or other outside locations.
“The safe range of light to avoid exposing the eye to potentially damaging ultraviolet radiation is 2000 to 3500K and greater than 500 nanometres. Some fluorescent lights fall outside this safe range.”

Replacements for existing light bulbs
Suppliers are getting into the act and providing consumers with helpful (we hope) charts describing the more energy efficient replacement options for your existing light fittings.
LE technology is moving so quickly – we hope there will be an LED (CFL’s have issues too,so LED is better if you can).
Philips have a chart life, benefits and light qualities of various lighting technologies:
