LEDs – the Power to Save Energy!

ImageMore and more home owners and business are turning to energy efficient ideas. LEDs are one of the few technologies today that allow us to have a direct, positive impact on the global environment.

This article “Why LED?” does a good job of explaining how solid state lighting bulbs accomplish these goals - being energy efficient, safe and long-lasting.

  • Facility level payback: eliminates the need for large inventories, reduces the labor associated with lighting maintenance, eliminates the direct cost of labor associated with recycling, saving money on materials and reducing labor associated with installation
  • Safety: no hazardous waste, cool to the touch, no ultra-violet emissions, low voltage power sources or batteries, eliminating the risk of shock
  • Environment: directionality of the light (not into the sky), less carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere, saving power plants.

  • I have been closely watching the developement of this industry for the last year or so. Each item I have investigated has been a dissapointment. The replacement lamps for florescent tubes deliver an inconsistant light, just don't look right, and are very expensive. Par 20 and 30 and MR16s were similarly dissappointing. Streetlights and parking lot lights however are a different matter. The time for these lights is here. Check the website betaled.com for some examples. I haven't got final prices yet but I am watching the City of Los Angeles which has pilot programs looking at different manufacturers. It seem clear that even the leds that claim domestic manufactering are simply assembled here and most of the products rely on Cree to supply them with product. Jack Miller
