According to Sandia National Laboratories recent research, diode lasers could eventually compete with LEDs for home and commercial lighting solutions. Sandia National Laboratories recently asked participants to rate various LED and diode laser lighting scenarios and found that in some situations consumers preferred the diode lasers. As we know, LEDs are the most energy-efficient replacements for the incandescent bulbs. But less people know LEDs lose efficiency at currents higher than 0.5 amps. The diode laser actually improves at higher currents, which means it ca...
