The ecosystem for green devices is near complete, and the market is no longer limited to the bottom of the pyramid
The increasing quest for energy-efficiency has led to many innovations in the past few years that are decidedly protecting the environment. Being a responsible trade media, the objective at Sourcing Electricals & Lighting is to increase awareness about such innovations and assist its readers in improving their understanding of green concerns and the business opportunities therein. At the beginning of the year, we do this by literally shouting from the rooftops and publishing The Green List, a compendium of efficient lighting and electrical products that saw light of day in the previous year and that we really liked.
Conservation is no longer a concern that is being pushed down the throats by governments, it is an economic compulsion that none can ignore. Soaring electricity rates are incessantly burning holes in the pockets, and solar-powered products seem to be the only way out. No wonder the List features many products powered by the Sun.

The main pyramid is a complex inter-linked structure with a spathe of reflective glass. This wonderful structure doubles as the entrance doorway that provides the long overdue entrance portico to the galleries of the museum.
