Energy-saving Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) could replace WiFi technology for transmitting digital data, without compromising the quality of light or environmental benefits, a study has shown. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh in the UK found that transmitting digital data via LEDs at the same time as using them to generate light does not make the light dimmer or change its colour. It also does not make LEDs more energy- hungry. These concerns have held back the more widespread adoption of Light Fidelity, or LiFi, which uses household LEDs to enable data transfer, said Wasiu Popoola of the University of Edinburgh, who led the research. However, the findings help eliminate key hurdles to using LEDs to help satisfy the increasing global thirst for wireless communications. Preserving the quality of lighting is, in particular, a vital consideration as it can have a major effect on the physical and mental well-being of people in both their homes and their workplaces.

Fédération Nationale d’Achats des Cadres, more commonly known as FNAC, is one of the largest retail stores of its kind, with its Head Office located in Ivry-sur-Seine, France. Selling a wide range of cultural and electronic products, this retail chain is also famous for its iconic book fairs and forums. 

According to a study conducted by ElectroniCast Consultants, explosion-proof lighting with light-emitting diode (LED) technology is slated to be worth $787.7 million in 2026. The global consumption value will grow at a rate of 2.15 percent and increase to $743.6 million in 2021, up from $668.6 million in 2016.
