On the occasion of Luminale 2012 (15 to 20 April) an art project by the lighting designer JK Lighting Design compared the energy consumption of different light sources. The focus of the installation, three oversized silhouettes of lamps was on the roof of the Chamber of Commerce building in Darmstadt. They were each equipped with 150 lamps; incandescent, CFL energy saving and LED. The displays showed the energy consumption of each of the different lamp technologies, hence the title "8:55 kW." Three pillars on the forecourt of the Chamber of Commerce gave further explanations on the project. The LED lamps were supplied by LEDON who
also sponsored the event.

The city of Frankfurt am Main starts a program "Frankfurt saves power" to raise awareness of the citizens for a reasonable and efficient use of electrical energy. Active power savers receive a bonus from the city. As part of the ongoing initiative by the end of 2012 was the model project "The lighting experts arrive" brought into being. Five Frankfurt households competed for the exchange of their traditional incandescent lamps to LED retrofit lamps from LEDON. As part of this project they reported about their experiences with the new light on a power-saving blog. At the same time their power consumption has been analyzed to calculate the savings through the use of LED bulbs. LEDON sales manager Michael Butz draws a positive conclusion of the project: "Almost all participants were not even aware that you now can replace an ordinary light bulb 1-1 with an LED lamp. All were satisfied with the quality of light more than satisfied.

When did you last see an advertisement for lamps on TV? You can’t remember? Small wonder, as LEDON will be the first producer of light sources advertising its products on Austrian TV in August. The four-week TV campaign is to include placements in selected slots across private and public broadcasting stations with the slogan “LEDON. Finally, really good light.“ The spot reflects the expectations of many Austrians to find equivalent alternatives for the traditional incandescent lamps banned from the shelves, as CFL energy-saving lamps in particular have not met these high expectations. Therefore, the phrase “Finally, really good light” also signals the start of a new era in terms of light quality based on premium LED lamps produced by LEDON.

From 15 August 2011, the TV spot will be used to put across key messages about LED light to consumers in a short and crisp way. LEDON’s exclusive partner will be the Expert-Group in Austria, who will be focusing attention on LED lamps from LEDON at their 200 electrical retail stores in Austria throughout the campaign. Detailed media schedule and further information at the LEDON Press Center

On 11 January 2011, the Swiss consumer magazine “Kassensturz” broadcast the results of a large test on LED lamps. The LEDON 10W LED lamp with double-click option was accredited being “excellent” with top values in terms of colour rendering and colour temperature. In general, the testers were surprised by the state of development of the LED technology: “The light intensity of some LEDs nearly corresponded with the brightness of 100 watt incandescent lamps.” Conclusion: “The future belongs to LED lamps –
they nearly work forever and save even more energy
compared to CFL energy-saving lamps.”

A total of 14 LED lamps were tested. Four of them achieved “excellent” results and three lamps were classified “insufficient”. Therefore, the testers recommended to buy quality products as there are still great differences between the various providers. “Kassensturz” has been broadcast on Swiss Television (SF1) since 1974 and is one of the most successful and popular TV programmes in Switzerland.
