Lighting Science Group is pioneering new lighting technologies in the state where, 130 years ago, the incandescent light bulb was born. The company’s work focuses on new Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting that uses 84 percent less energy than the standard incandescent lamp, lasts longer and requires less recycling than conventional light sources. LEDs do not contain mercury or other hazardous materials as compact fluorescent bulbs do so they can be handled and disposed of safely.
