Compared with incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp LED lights on how to better protect the environment?

Have you thought about what kind of bulb (LED, energy-saving lamp or incandescent lamp) on the environment is best?

Sponsored by the Department of environment in the three part of the study, there is no doubt that LED than other lighting options (such as energy-saving lamps, especially incandescent bulbs) on the environment significantly better.

This study considers a variety of factors, and evaluate each bulb of our planet's air, water and soil resources and influence.

This is not surprising. Intelligent lighting consumes less energy, longer life, and are more secure than any other lighting materials.

Low power consumption intelligent lighting

When it comes to energy consumption, intelligent lighting dominant.

The traditional incandescent bulbs consume a lot of energy, in fact most of the energy loss of heat is generated, as high as 90%! This means that only 10% of the energy to light.

Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) of the heat loss coefficient is obviously low, one of the reasons why they can use 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs to produce the same amount of light. Unlike incandescent lamps that use electric heating filament, but will power through a chamber to stimulate mercury molecules to produce light inside.

Although the compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) is very efficient in the use of energy, but the smart lighting LED actually improved by 80% than incandescent energy consumption. This is partly because LED has a solid structure, which means that in fact there is no moving parts. The current only through a semiconductor from the electronic force from one place to another place, this process leads to the production of light.

These energy not only helps to reduce the monthly electricity bill, also help to reduce global energy production, reduce carbon emissions. For example, for example, only in 2012, American consumers saved more than $675 million by using the LED conversion, in 2032 before the complete conversion to LED, the United States can save more than $250 billion in energy costs!

Intelligent lamp life

Long life is a major environmental characteristics of second smart bulbs. The incandescent lamp typically lasts about 1000 hours a day, or about 6 hours of use, can be used for about 4 months. Energy-saving lamps provide about 10000 hours of life, at the same rate, is about 4 and a half years.

On the other hand, LED provides a staggering 25000 hours! This means that if you will LED lights for 6 hours, will continue for the past 11 and a half years, far more than the energy-saving lamps, especially incandescent bulbs.

It is easy to see the benefits of long-life bulb. The use of a LED time, equivalent to about 33 of incandescent lamp, this means that we do not need to produce too much lighting, also means reducing the amount of waste landfill, reduce production costs, reduce the consumption of transport, which of course means more clean air.

Lighting

The environmental impact on the smart bulb, another important point is that they do not contain the bulb and other harmful substances (i.e. energy-saving lamps) the same.

As we have previously noted, the interaction of mercury and electricity using fluorescent lamp to produce light. Many people know that Mercury will have some bad effects on our health. Due to mercury poisoning in inhalation is the most common, and therefore need to clean up the fluorescent lamp broken immediately.

In fact, fluorescent light bulbs special steps, to deal with the potentially deadly compounds. Although the content of mercury in fluorescent bulbs is much lower than before, but it should be as little as possible exposure to the elements.

On the other hand, LED does not contain mercury. Although still have to pay attention to smart bulbs damaged, but in the cleaning process, you don't have to worry about the inhalation of mercury.

Other functions

Although the smart lighting energy consumption, service life and safety of materials is one of the main reasons of environmental protection, but they have some other characteristics, can help reduce you to achieve other functions.

Compared with other lighting, LED light is more concentrated. Incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent light bulbs to light in all directions, LED can illuminate an area without affecting the surrounding environment. Think of the other bulb into a torch, and take LED as the spotlight. This means that you do not have to use 8 incandescent bulbs to light up a room, but you can use 5 placed smart bulbs appropriate to achieve the same effect.

Intelligent lighting also allows you to set a timetable, so they will automatically shut down. So, if you do the morning rush to work, forget to switch off, you will not waste a day with the lights.

The ability of intelligent lighting dimming can also reduce the amount of energy consumption. As time goes on, you will notice that in such a simple way to really help you reduce electricity. (compiled: LED James)
