Swiss, Kicking Green Ass Again

A Migros store in Switzerland has become the first store to fully light the store with light emitting diodes (LED).

In 2005, the Department of Energy has estimated that LED lighting could cut national energy consumption for lighting in the US by 29% by 2025. The total savings on U.S. household electric bills until then would be $125 billion.

Keep an eye on the renamed GE LED unit and their partnership with Nichia. What's cool? Nichia has developed a UV LED.
