05.23.2008 — Green technology has officially arrived.

Lutron, however, has been ahead of the green revolution for years, introducing the original Grafik Eye 20 in 1987 and with its 12,000-square-foot Lutron Experience Center.

But more companies are developing complete lines of eco-friendly products to help clients use less power and conserve energy, simultaneously allowing clients to save some pocket change.

Some organizations -- the LCD TV Association -- even offer incentives for manufacturing more efficient solutions.

Energy-efficient products have become such a hot commodity, companies have dedicated facilities to green technology to showcase their products and educate clients about the benefits of green technology.

Terms such as 'RoHS', 'LEED', and 'green' are commonplace in today's CE industry and are here to stay.

And the majority will take advantage of any and every product that saves them some coin and betters the environment.
