 LEDs are incredibly power efficient, and last a very long time. The new Arciche bulb purports to be 25% more efficient than current technology and can operate directly from AC power. The press release does a decent job of explaining just what this can mean for illumination. And in what I think is a very different spin on proposed technology, the company (Seoul Semiconductor) says products will be introduced 'during the first quarter of 2010'. I'm not sure if that means units will be available for delivery, but it' exciting stuff. |

 When you build your next home (like who's doing much of that these days?) you may be putting aerogel into the walls as insulation, rather than that pretty pink, but very itchy fiberglass. Green Tech reports that the company Aspen Aerogels had been able to bring down the price of these materials that were previously only used in spacecraft, significantly. Enough so that we may be able to put the stuff in our homes. |

Solar garden lights have been around for awhile. Vincent D'Onofrio probably isn't the only homeowner to trip on one of his 'solar mushrooms'. But for Vince, a stubbed toe led to a bright idea. Picking up the offending party, he noticed that naturally, the higher he held the light, the wider the beam of light. Suspended from the roof gutter upside down, the solar powered glow was just right to illuminate a keyhole. Thus the Gutter Light was born, containing essentially two innovations designed by D'Onofrio : |

Its hard to talk about green without talking about solar. Unless we're talking geothermal, all our energy comes from the Sun anyway - fossil fuels are just big repositories of solar energy collected by ancient phytoplankton and friends. So it makes sense that switching to a pay as you go system is the best long term solution to keep our ecosystem in balance. |
