Nowadays,Decrease energy consumption with LED lights Articles when problems of the concentrating climate change get at a greater level, it looks reasonable to think about taking steps towards decreasing our global footprint. Because of lighting contributes 5%-10% (other people even say 25%) to the standard electricity bill of the developed world, it seems a good idea to try to reduce the energy consumption of our incandescent light bulbs. Also, a hard pressure comes from the government's side to make us change our point of view and try something different. While the solution already exists, we still hesitate. Albeit, it is feasible that we do not even know that change is affordable and remunerative, and that it will leave some money in the pockets at the end of every month.There are some facts about the incandescent light bulbs that would persuade you.
  • The electricity utilized over a lifetime of a single incandescent light bulb costs from 5 to 10 times more than the cost of the bulb.
  • Changing only one light bulb can skimp some $12 per year.
  • Professionals estimated that if two of the existing bulbs were replaced in all of the US based houses and they were run140 hours a month, it would skimp 23 million tons of carbon dioxide.
  • This means that the energy demand could be eased down by the amount of 11 coal-heated power stations and it would spare up to $1.8bn.
What is the key now?I'm sure you have seen LED lights before. Those are the ones that are running in store windows to light the products, from machinery to birds. They are even lighting the Christmas decoration of a nice festive fair by snaking around the Christmas tree and all the stands. These are all LED bulbs.Every one of these bulbs uses 70% less carbon dioxide and put out the same amount of light as an traditional light.Additional advantages of the LEDs:
  • LED bulbs last 10 times longer than the compact fluorescents and way longer than the traditional bulbs.
  • Because LEDs do not have a filament, they are not hurt under circumstances when a conventional incandescent bulb would be over. Because they are solid, LED bulbs hold up well to jarring and bumping.
  • LEDs do not generate heat so they do not contribute to the heat build-up of a house. Thus, they do not hurt the efficiency of the air conditioning systems.
  • No mercury is used for producing LEDs.
  • LED bulbs use 1/3rd or 1/30th of energy compared to incandescent bulbs or CFLs.
  • LEDs are cost-effective. Although, ten years ago their initial cost was higher than for incandescent bulbs, as the LED industry improves, production gets mass therefore cheaper. Not to talk about the maintenance expenses that are far lower than for traditional bulbs.
  • Because of their low energy consumption, LEDs are portable. Therefore they can be used to light remote places as well.
So why should people say no to these LED bulbs? Money is not a reason and there is not more that is worth to mention. The answer is simply that they do not know about this opportunity. Although, the media started to write some articles about the topic, it was forgotten at some point.
