Now, when bad news of the accelerating climate change get at a greater level, it seems substantial to think about taking steps towards easing down our global carbon dioxide emission. Because of lighting adds 5%-10% (some even say 25%) to the standard electricity bill of the developed world, it looks a good idea to try to reduce the energy consumption of our traditional light bulbs. In addition, a serious pressure comes from the government's side to let us amend our practices and try something else. While the solution already is in our hands, people still hesitate. Albeit, it is possible that we do not even think about that change is affordable and remunerative, and that it will leave some money in the pockets at the end of every month.
Here are many facts about the [traditional|incandescent]{incandescent}incandescent light bulbs that would convince you.
· The electricity consumed over a lifetime of a single traditional light bulb costs from 5 to 10 times more than the cost of the bulb.
· Changing only one light bulb can save approximately $12 per year.
· According to professionals' calculations if three of the existing bulbs were substituted in all of the US based houses and they were operated 5 hours a day, it would save 23 million tons of carbon dioxide.
· This means that the energy consumption could be decreased by the amount of 11 coal-heated power stations and it would save up to $1.8bn.
What is the solution?
I'm sure you have used LED lights before. Those are the ones that are running in store windows to light the fruits, from clothes to meat. 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 lights.
Every one of these bulbs needs 70% less carbon dioxide and produces the same amount of light as an incandescent light.
More advantages of the LEDs:
· LED bulbs last 10 times longer than the CFLs and way longer than the incandescent bulbs.
· Because LEDs do not have a filament, they are not hurt under circumstances when a regular incandescent bulb would be over. Because they are solid, LED bulbs hold up well to jarring and bumping.
· LEDs do not produce heat so they do not add to the heat build-up of a room. Thus, they do not decrease the efficiency of the air conditioning systems.
· No mercury is used for manufacturing LEDs.
· LED bulbs use 1/3rd or 1/30th of energy in comparison to to incandescent bulbs or CFLs.
· LEDs are cost-effective. However, a decade ago their initial price was greater than for conventional bulbs, as the LED industry developes, manufacturing gets mass therefore cheaper. Not to talk about the maintenance costs that are far lower than for incandescent bulbs.
· Because of their low energy consumption, LEDs are portable. Therefore they can be used to light remote places as well.
So why would 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 possibly that they do not think about this opportunity. Albeit, the media started to write some articles about the topic, it was forgotten at some point. Now it's time to dust it again.
