Emotionally Durable Design intends to develop products that will generate emotional links with users, with the intention for them to keep these products for a long time. This, from a sustainable point of view, is an interesting step towards stopping resource depletion and minimize production rates needed. LED lighting is changing the way luminaires are produced by making possible to have all light components embedded in a luminaire, which with the disposal rate of products becomes a big problem. Many working components, given the long life span of a light emitting diode, are likely to be disposed of. Emotionally durable lighting is an attempt to define ways to develop luminaires that will be taken care of, and kept by their owners.
