IKEA has announced it will abandon all non-energy efficient lighting by 2015. The Swedish furniture giant has partnered with Scottish lighting company Design LED Products to create the lighting fixtures of the future. IKEA will fund DLP’s production in return for access to their technology. Of special interest to IKEA is DPL’s “Light Tiles.” These are basically grids of LED lights that are embedded in resin that is less than 1 millimeter thick, a pretty cool and innovative design for green lighting of tomorrow.
