If you have a house badly exposed to the sun and your future bills do not promise anything good, just a little patience! In two years, this will all be just a bad memory. The government of Great Britain has decided to finance Lomox with 450 thousand euros, a Welsh company that with its patents expects to create within two years wallpaper and paint able illuminate the rooms with natural and diffused light. A technology that would allow consume much less than the current ones bulbs low energy consumption.
No more lamps and then neon in the next future: the bright walls will exploit the already known light emitting diode technology, but significantly lowering production costs and simultaneously increasing the lifespan of the material. The new ones "ice", In fact, thanks to a special mix of chemical agents, they do not undergo the oxidation process, the main reason for deterioration.
Why is it an ecological system? The chemical developed by Lomox, based on technology oled, a new generation of LEDs, can be used to cover walls simply as paint or even in a stylized way, and it will have need only 3/5 volts, a power easily accessible with the PV from the roof or with simple batteries. The result will be a light with the full range of colors, like that of our parent star.
An adjustable switch can then allow you to choose the intensity of the light as it happens for the lamps already on the market.
The system is very promising and could also be used for the backlighting of televisions, computer displays and even the smallest cell phones. If this technology proves successful, Great Britain would have a significant contribution to the achievement of emissions cut of 34% by 2020. And, why not, someone else could take advantage of it.
Ken Lacey, the CEO of Lomox, in an interview with the Times announced that the first products will be put on the market as early as 2012, and will mainly concern traffic signs and barriers. “The light is very natural and has all the potential for the best décor solutions - explained Lacey“.
If all of this is possible, we may soon hear: "Hey turn off that wall I'm trying to sleep "
