The fifth Annual Advanced LED and Solid State Lighting Suppliers Conference, BLUE 2007, will take place on 17-19 April to promote the transition to this energy-saving technology.

Blue spectrum light emitting diodes (LEDs) that produce bright white light are quickly proving to be the most energy efficient form of illumination, destined to replace all forms of conventional lighting fixtures.
