LED Furniture

Light emitting diodes or more commonly referred to as LED’s are pieces of electrical equipment or components that will emit light when connected to or within a direct current.

The first to investigate and theorise LED lighting was a Russian named Oleg Vladimirovich Losev in 1927 and first published work highlighting the effects and the theory behind LED lighting. Despite Oleg laying the fundamentals of the first light emitting diode lighting, it wasn’t until the early 1970’s until the first LED was used in a use case scenario. The use of the first LED was fibre optics in telecommunications.

From the onset light emitting diodes were very expensive, costing almost £200 per piece. The high price of light-emitting diodes meant that it could only be used in professional environments and wasn’t actively available to the public. As the technological world advanced, however, creating and finding cheaper ways to manufacture electrical equipment and to produce in mass gave LED’s a much cheaper market price and the ability to use in consumer products.
