This doesn’t surprise me at all. The words Color Kinetics keeps being dropped in this industry all time, and seeing the way the industry is progressing, I have no doubt that soon, LED’s will be standard across the board. I guess in some ways, it is already expected in large productions and entertainment….stuff.
by 2030? thats somewhat disappointing, actually.
i wonder if they'll be making LED bulbs that will fit into existing fixtures like they do for car headlights now.
(can't wait to plug in more than 2 or 3 fixtures into one 20A circuit)
I agree that the commercial industry will most likely be highly LED-based. Their efficiency is amazing, so it is definitely a step, or thought in the right direction. As far as the theatre industry, it will certainly not be paralleling the commercial industry. LEDs are hardly good enough yet for usage in the theatre, and while their industry is expanding at a ridiculous rate, they are just not where they need to be in quality.
I agree with bward on this...2030..that seems pretty far, I really wouldn't be surprised if it happened before that, since we are seeing them more and more in different applications, like most reading lights on planes have already been replaced with LEDs. The only problem they would have to deal with is probably making the dimming range a little more since LEDs can be so ridiculously bright.
