NEMA goes global on LEDs

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), Rosslyn, Va., has joined other key lighting organizations in the Global Lighting Forum (GLF), an initiative to coordinate and promote LED (light emitting diode) technology on a global level. The GLF will develop international standards, produce educational materials and work with key LED stakeholders in business and government.

According to GLF Chairman Jan Denneman, “LEDs will play a dominant role in nearly every lighting application. The world will witness a revolution in lighting that will help reduce energy consumption while enabling the development of new lighting experiences.”
