Bright ideas are often depicted with a light bulb. And in Hollywood these days, that light is more likely to be LED than the traditional tungsten. The industry standard is shifting as cinematographers are turning to light-emitting diodes to illuminate their sets more efficiently and with less heat than tungsten lighting, according to Variety. But not all LEDs are created the same, so companies that rent the equipment to productions are taking a wait-and-see approach to which brand will be in demand. “Every cinematographer is going to have their own taste for how s...

  Jason Wu, the chairman of Taiwan LED packaging house Edison Opto claimed that the ex-factory price of LED lighting fall 30% in 2013 appears likely. For the ex-factory price in 2011 was US$4/W and in 2012, the price has fallen to US$1/W. Also, if the ex-factory price of a 3W MR16 is around US$3, the cost of LED components accounts for about 20%, it means there is limited room for price falls for LED components but it's still very likely to fall in 2013 , added Wu. Industry sources noted that the price drop of LED components has been easing but...
