NEW YORK TIMES Start-Up Aims to Develop More Efficient Lighting | Soraa, co-founded by the scientist Shuji Nakamura, who pioneered light-emitting diodes in the early 1990s, is attempting to bring that technology to lighting for homes and offices, and has raised more than $100 million, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The results were published in 1984, officially describing SAD and pioneering light therapy as an effective treatment method.
Cree, a Durham, N.C.-based electric-lighting company, pioneered LED lights roughly 10 times more efficient than incandescent light bulbs and using a third less energy than fluorescent light bulbs.
In Germany, by contrast, faith in the offensive was never lost, although Adolf Hitler encouraged progressive officers to forsake light infantry and take up tanks—in effect taking the tactical principles pioneered by light infantry in World War I and developing, modifying, and adapting them to armoured warfare.
Instead, he says, we should learn from Japan, which has pioneered a light touch style of regulation built especially around this new technology.
At his theatre, the Folies-Nouvelles, which had opened the previous year, Hervé pioneered French light comic opera, or "opérette".

American painter and sculptor known for pioneering the Light and Space movement, a variety of West Coast Minimalist art that was concerned with the visual impact of light on geometric forms and on the viewer's sensory experience of the work.
We considered individual density, species richness, diversity, composition and functional group (shade tolerant, non-pioneer-light demander and pioneer species).
Overall, shade-tolerant species had the highest density and diversity followed by non-pioneer-light demanders and pioneer species.
For their part, astronomers vow to push for tougher light-emission standards later this year when public officials begin revising the area's pioneering lighting ordinance, first approved in 1972.
