LED for Lighting

I did not realize there was a separate magazine for the LED Industry and a trade show! LED's have been a part of electronics for a long time. The small LED (Light Emitting Diode) was used as a small light. Then it became parts of displays, cell phones, then bigger lights as the power improved and the cost went down. The market size currently is $4.6 billion and growing about 11% per year, but growth has been as low as 6% in 2005 and 2006. LED's are great for applications that need low power (cell phones).
