There are many ways in which modern science has improved our lives and one of them is definitely the lighting technology. Ever since the days when man first created fire and found out how to make torches, the life of humans changed dramatically because now they could also live by night without fearing that they will be eaten in the dark (or later on, that they won’t bump their little toe on pieces of furniture in the black of night).

The light source has improved over the eons. From the first torches and candles to the oil lamps that preceded the introduction of the incandescent electric light bulb, man has been improving his light sources so that they can be safer, shed more light and more recently, spend less energy. The incandescent light bulb has been one of the longest used electricity related technologies in the world even though its shortcomings were well documented and are now known even by the sparrows on the branches.

These light bulbs are known to produce significantly more heat than light and this is why the European Union, the United States and many other countries from every other continent have been fazing them out and replacing them with compact fluorescent bulbs. But an even more efficient technology has been introduced to the market in the form of LED GU10 light bulbs. LED GU10 is a technology based on the same principle that runs our LED monitors, only now it has a strong enough light to be used for lighting purposes.
