Last Word: LEDs reach residential lighting market

Terry McGowan, director of engineering of the American Lighting Association (ALA), says it is vital that the residential lighting market is understood by LED manufacturers. Terry McGowan As homeowners and builders become more aware of LED technology, it's important for LED companies to understand the residential lighting market and how it differs from the market for commercial lighting. The US residential/decorative lighting market is sizeable, with two hundred and fifteen Millions units sold in 2007. Revenues amounted to $4.4 billion, and growth of the market is influenced by population demographics, the health of the housing industry, competition with imports, and of course product pricing.

Eventually, that will affect the number of different styles available .
