North Dumpling Island to become LED Island

The three-acre North Dumpling Island off the coast of Connecticut, an independent state is reportedly that installs Philips’s LED lighting system.

     

It is known that the Island belongs to Dean Kamen, an inventor of the Segway scooter and medical devices. And soon, Kamen's independent island kingdom will become energy-independent.

Working with Philips Color Kinetics, Kamen is using his island domain as a showcase for energy-efficient LED lights. He is replacing all of the traditional incandescent lights inside and out of his North Dumpling home with LED lights, which will allow it to run exclusively on wind and solar power generated on the island.

            

Kamen noted with increasing strain on their world's energy resources, their goal is to make North Dumpling a small but prominent example of what can be achieved on a larger scale with today's emerging energy-saving technologies. It's an excellent demonstration of science and engineering as the antidote to the complex challenges of their time.

Philips estimates that the move from incandescent to LED lights will cut energy consumption by 70 percent. With new lights added--outside the home and in the basement--total energy consumption will be reduced by half.
