What do the Times Square Ball, Bay Bridge in San Francisco and Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris have in common? Apart from attracting millions of tourists each year, all three sites have a total number of 57,656 LEDs. LED lighting is now a part of both art installations and magnificent historical buildings that can show their unique features in a new and energy-efficient way.

Everybody has heard of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and her mysterious smile. The painting, currently housed in the Louvre, is one of the most famous works of art in the world. But what is the connection between The Gioconda and LED lighting?

There is nothing tastier than fresh fruit and vegetables, but how long can they survive in the refrigerator? The answer - no more than 2-3 days. Experiments with LEDs in recent years have shown that LED illumination can significantly extend the life of fruit and vegetables. For example, strawberries are kept fresh for 9 days, which is 3 times more time for consumption. Thus a healthy vitamin dish will have a longer shelf life.
