Sustainability is front of mind in today’s world—and lighting is no exception.
In case you're wondering what LED stands for: LED = Light Emitting Diode. Now, for some interesting facts. LED lights were first developed in the 1960s; however, they were limited in functionality and not suitable for the mainstream market. It wasn’t until the early 2000s that LEDs became widely available for commercial use.
Let’s take a quick look at the LED development timeline:
-
1962 – The first LED light is invented, emitting only red light.
-
1990s – Blue LEDs are developed, enabling full-spectrum white light through phosphor coating—laying the foundation for white LED lighting.
-
Early to Mid 2000s – Prototype LED downlights begin to appear, although they are expensive and have limited brightness.
-
2010–2013 – Rapid improvements in lumen output, heat management, and cost. LED downlights start replacing halogen and CFL in residential settings.
-
2015–2020 – Tri-colour (CCT switchable), dimmable, and wattage-variable lighting products become standard, featuring integrated designs that simplify installation.
Today, LED technology sits at the forefront of lighting innovation, transforming the way we illuminate our homes, workplaces, and public spaces. At Telbix, we embrace these advancements to create stylish, functional, and sustainable lighting solutions.
