According to an industry consulting firm, LEDs will displace all other forms of residential light sources in just six years.
The conclusion from Navigant Consulting means LEDs are definitely a disruptive technology in that it will render its precursors obsolete.
In terms of lamps sold, according to the data, incandescents will disappear by 2017. Likewise, halogen bulbs and compact fluorescents (CFLs) (not linear fluorescents that are common in commercial installations) will go the way of the dodo bird by 2018.
Incandescent bulbs are being phased out by the government with 100W, 75W, 60W and 40W bulbs being discontinued. But market conditions, not government decree, will be the death of CFLs and halogens, according to Navigant, which bases its conclusion on a compilation of data from the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).
