PUBLISHER’S LETTER e often talk about LED lamps replacing CFLs or GLS Wlamps, however, these semiconductor-based light sources are striding fast to replace even the High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps. Almost all major lighting companies have already rolled out their LED lamps to replace HID lamps. In HID lamps, the light is produced by the arc discharge between two closely spaced electrodes, which are hermetically sealed within a glass capsule. LEDs are basically diodes, when in circuits, they produces electroluminescence. Although yet to gain much wider popularity, LED lamps are continuously in active role to replace the traditional HID lamps. Recently in the race, Michigan-based EarthTronics has released their products. As per the company, their high lumen, high efficiency LEDs are an energy-efficient solution for replacing HID lamps for interior and exterior applications in parking garages, site and security lighting, high bay warehouse fixtures and post lights. They also inform that these commercial quality lamps feature high-power LED, durable construction and advanced electronic drivers that provide extended performance life and full omni-directional light output. This is just an example, as I have mentioned earlier, there are many other companies offering their products in the same line to replace HIDs. So, LEDs are advancing fast in the mission to replace HIDs. Still there is a ‘but,’ a section of the lighting community still Mahadevan Iyer believes that side-emitting lights from HID lamps are easy Editor-in-Chief to focus compared to front-emitting light from LED lamps.
