A company in Wales has developed light emitting wallpaper in a bid to replace traditional light bulbs with a better energy-saving alternative. The wallpaper uses an electric current to stimulate chemicals that produce light.
Light emitting wallpaper could be developed to replace traditional light bulbs and cut carbon emissions from lighting in the next few years, it has been claimed. A Welsh company developing the technology, which uses an electrical current to stimulate chemicals to produce light, has been awarded a £454,000 grant from the Carbon Trust to help get it into homes, business and on the roads.
