Recently, when matters of the accelerating climate change come at a deeper 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 typical electricity bill of the developed world, it looks a good idea to try to decrease the energy consumption of our traditional light bulbs. In addition, a hard pressure comes from the government’s side to get us alter our point of view and try something else. While the solution already is in our hands, people still hesitate. Although, it is probable that we do not even think about that change is affordable and rewarding, and that it will leave more money in the pockets at the end of every month.
Here are some facts about the [traditional|incandescent]{incandescent}traditional light bulbs that would convince you.
· The electricity utilized over a lifetime of a single traditional light bulb costs from 5 to 10 times more than the price of the bulb.
· Changing one light bulb can spare about $12 per year.
· Professionals estimated that if two of the existing bulbs were replaced in all of the US based houses and they were operated35 hours a week, it would skimp 23 million tons of carbon dioxide.
· This means that the energy consumption could be lowered by the amount of 11 coal-fired power stations and it would save 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 cars 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 needs 70% less carbon dioxide and generates the same amount of light as an incandescent light.
Additional advantages of the LEDs:
· LED bulbs last 10 times longer than the compact fluorescents and way longer than the incandescent bulbs.
· As LEDs do not have a filament, they are not damaged under circumstances when a conventional incandescent bulb would be broken. Because they are solid, LED bulbs hold up well to jarring and bumping.
· LEDs do not produce heat so they do not contribute to the heat build-up of a flat. Thus, they do not decrease 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. However, a decade ago their initial cost was higher than for incandescent bulbs, as the LED industry developes, production gets mass therefore cheaper. Not to mention the maintenance expenses that are far lower than for conventional bulbs.
· Because of their low energy consumption, LEDs are portable. Therefore they can be used to light remote areas as well.
So why should people say no to these LED bulbs? Money shouldn’t be a reason and there is not more that is worth to {mention}. The answer is possibly that they do not think about this opportunity. Although, the media started to write some articles about the topic, it was forgotten at some point. Now it’s time to dust it again.
