Big energy player EnCana Corp. has joined a group promoting an Ottawa company's revolutionary design for light bulbs that could use 90% less energy than regular bulbs and last two decades.
The design by Ottawa's Group IV Semiconductor Inc. is being supported by EnCana and Sustainable Development Technology Canada. It was showcased yesterday at the National Research Council.
Group IV's light bulb of the future would employ an electrical current passed through silicon, with almost all of the energy involved producing light instead of heat.
The proposed solid-state lighting design would consume one-tenth of the energy of a regular bulb using semiconductors to produce light instead of gases or filaments.
"Solid-state lighting is gathering momentum as a means to reduce the world's energy consumption," Group IV CEO Stephen Naor said in a statement.
