IKEA Announces 'All-LED' Lighting Agenda

The Swedish home furnishings giant announced its’ intent to sell only LED lighting in its stores by 2016.

“No more halogen. No more Sparsam low-energy bulbs. No more fluorescent lights. We’re putting all our development and design efforts behind LEDs because we think  everyone  should be able to afford to illuminate their lives with the most sustainable lighting available.”

Bulbs and fixtures built around light emitting diode technology now produce the same color as traditional incandescent bulbs (earlier versions tended to a  blue  cast), noted the  IKEA declaration of intent.
