subject: Energy Efficient LED Lighting Finally Becomes Affordable! [print this page] This is also known as an energy saving lightThis is also known as an energy saving light. But though LED saves energy a part of the light bulb components
contains mercury, thus light bulb disposal is a high questioned and expensive problem.
Anyway, LED average life is long lasting, far bigger than that of an incandescent light bulb, and long lasting up to
15 times more than this traditional bulb. The economical LED is indeed a bit more expensive than a regular one but
these only use 20% of the energy that a normal light uses making them very efficient. Except the fact that these
efficient lights save you a lot of money, they also reduce the carburant necessary for lighting your home, thus
decreasing your carbon imprint on the planet making them a green environmental friendly alternative. Ireland is one
of those green countries in which incandescent light has been forbidden and you will never find a bulb like that in
this country. In the next years, Europe plans to do the same in all countries to save energy; efficient and
inexpensive ways to cost reduction solutions are highly discussed. Light bulbs such as MR16, GU10 and PAR20 are most
common and cheap, but even though the prices are a bit lower than a few years ago, the environmental friendly
fluorescent light is still expensive for many. MR16 is most cheap, since it's the standard fluorescent light, but
GU10 and PAR20 are 50 watt halogens and can't be used for big rooms.
Some complain about the fact that Solid State Lighting it has a different light than the affordable incandescent
light bulb, or the fact that it reaches maximum of candelas (measurement for the intensity of Solid State Lighting)
within 5 minutes after starting. Another problem with these green products is that they get small shocks of energy
even when the Solid State Lighting is on, so the bulb gives some flashes that might be disturbing when it starts.
You can fix this problem by a proper electrical installation. It might not sound affordable, but the electric bill
will diminish a lot with these long lasting bulbs.
Many voices say that the mercury pollution resulted from the brakeage of a fluorescent light bulb is insignificant
in comparing it with how much energy it saves by being environmental friendly.
If you are considering buying such a product you have to know that, now it's inexpensive price can save you tons of
money to the electrical bill in its life time.
Because it lasts longer, you don't have to replace it, compensating even more costs and becoming inexpensive in
comparing to an incandescent bulb. Since tons of producers make it, this bulb is now affordable. This means no money
spends on extra light bulbs. Believe it or not, the first attempt to create such a light bulb started in the early
80's with Hewitt.
