Why switch to LED lighting?
Why switch to LED lighting?
LED LIGHTING HAS A LONG LIFE OF LIFE:
LED bulbs do not contain a filament or any other fragile mechanical part that could be damaged.They do not stop working suddenly, the degradation is done gradually throughout its life. The useful life of the chip (or chip) LED is considered to be between 30,000 and 40,000 hours.
Unlike incandescent bulbs of 50 Watts that last between 1000 and 2000 hours (about 1 or 2 years), LED bulbs can last more than 35,000 hours. (35 times more than incandescent, 15-20 times more than halogen and 5-7 times more than the energy-saving bulb).
An LED bulb used 12 hours a day can last more than 7 years. Used 8 hours a day, it can last up to 11 years. The useful life of LEDs double that of typical fluorescent bulbs and is ten times that of incandescent bulbs.
LED LIGHTING IS VERY EFFICIENT ENERGY EFFICIENT, AND EMITS VERY LITTLE HEAT (it makes it more eco-friendly than conventional):
An incandescent light bulb loses 85% of its energy in heat and so only 15% is transformed into light. For example, a halogen bulb that consumes 50W, uses 45W in the form of heat, implying additional costs in air conditioning (25W are necessary to offset the heat produced by this bulb).With LED lighting, 90% of the energy consumed turns into light and only 10% into heat.
In short, by using less energy and being more efficient, LEDs emit little heat.
LED LIGHTING IS VERY LOW CONSUMPTION:
LED bulbs to consume 3 times less than conventional low-energy light bulbs and 9 times less than an incandescent light bulb: resulting in great savings and quick amortization of the initial investment.The luminous efficiency of LEDs is around 90 lumens per watt in the laboratory, with some products up to 150 watts. Unlike halogen that reaches between 20 or 25 lumens per watt.
LED LIGHTING GENERATES many impacts ON THE ENVIRONMENT:
LED bulbs are completely recyclable and environmentally friendly: they contain no mercury or other toxic materials, unlike fluorescent lamps. On the other hand, their long life saves raw materials. Indeed, to equal the duration of an LED bulb, it is necessary to manufacture 20 incandescent bulbs.By switching your traditional lighting to LED, you will quickly see the savings on your electricity bill. things make LED lighting the most environmentally friendly and eco-friendly option in the environment:
1. Low energy consumption
2. The long service life of LED bulbs
A report from the US Department of Energy compared the type of lighting with its environmental impact, and one can appreciate the distinct difference of LED lighting compared to traditional lighting:In this study, they observed energy consumption, useful life, the environmental impact of manufacturing and disposal of residues, the environmental impact of hazardous substances used in the assembly of LED luminaires, fluorescent lamps, and incandescent bulbs.
The results took into account the energy needed to manufacture the bulb, the transport, the operation of the product for 20,000 hours and finally the destruction of the device.
While energy consumption is an obvious economic consideration, the right selection of lighting technology to minimize environmental impact is also key; for example, the manufacture and disposal of lighting technology have an impact on natural resources and the ecosystem, so they need to be considered. The authors of this report compared the impact of each technology through the evaluation of 15 "impact measures" in 4 sectors: resources, air, water, and soil.
LED = savings and environmental protections impact measurements were represented on a radar or spider web graph, with the relative impact of each measurement determining its magnitude in the graph. The type of lighting that performs the least well in performance is incandescent lighting, used as a baseline. Types of lighting with less impact appear closer to the center.
