Why using LED lighting?

LED Lighting Energy Efficiency

A 40 Watt incandescent bulb uses more energy than a 110v LED Light Bulb.  A large percentage of the 40 Watt bulb is wasted heat (great for killing moths but horrible for your electric bill).  LED Light Bulbs generate very little heat and most of the energy is light.

LED Lighting is directional instead of glowing light 360 degrees and they are about as efficient in terms of amount of light per watt as compact fluorescent bulbs.  You can direct the lighting in the area that you want it which offers another type of energy savings.  Led Lighting does not waste light in areas that don't need to be illuminated.  LED Light Bulbs are designed to fit standard bases and range from 0.75 to 1.5 Watts and are designed for low light situations.  In addition you get long life and energy efficiency which adds up to 90% savings over standard bulbs.

LED Lighting Is Vibration & Drop Resistant 

Incandescent bulbs are very fragile and do not last very long in areas with high vibration.  The filament breaks and the life of the bulb has ended.  LED Lighting has no filament so there is nothing to rattle or break apart.

Why Use LED Lighting?

• LED Lighting uses less energy than energy smart compact fluorescent light bulbs which save you money on you electric bulb.  They are so much more efficient they can pay for themselves in less than a year.

• LED Lighting is more durable than incandescent lighting and will last up to 60,000 hours.

• LED Lighting runs cooler than other lighting.

• LED Lighting turns on instantly.

• LED Lighting does not use mercury like compact fluorescents.

• LED Lighting For Grocer Cold Case & Freezers

Why use LED tubes replace fluorescent tubes?

 A broken fluorescent requires replacement of all food due to mercury contamination

LED Fluorescent replacement tubes use less electricity to operate

Regular Fluorescents are not very efficient in cold environments

Maintenance costs will be reduced as LED Fluorescent replacement tubes last over 10 years at 24/7

Ballasts are bypassed and the tubes are wired direct and in parallel which eliminates costly ballasts and their heat

LED Fluorescent replacement tubes already have a parabolic cover and can swivel to adjust the light and point it on the food items

Fluorescent tubes emit a high amount of heat which causes the cooling system to work harder than it needs to.  LED Fluorescent tubes run much cooler than fluorescents.

Replacement ballasts and parabolic coverings can cost more than LED Fluorescent Tubes.

LED Lighting For School Systems  

Fluorescent tubes are known to emit mercury when broken and young students are known to break fluorescent tubes for fun.  Cleanup of the hazordous material poses a challenge for our Nation's school systems. LED Fluorescent Tube Replacements can save money on the electric bill, but they also removed the source of the mercury all together.  Umpqua Energy, Inc. supplies school systems with LED Fluorescent Replacement Lamps to retrofit the school's current lighting.  Efficiencies of each bulb are greater than fluorescents and only use 18 watts of power as opposed to 40 watts of power for fluorescent technology.  Over time, there will be big savings for the school in terms of energy efficiency but also in terms of maintenance costs and the absence of hazardous materials from fluorescent tube technology.

LEDs Offer More Efficient Technology than Incandescent Lights and CFLs
LED bulbs are lit solely by the movement of electrons. Unlike incandescents, they have no filament that will burn out; and unlike CFLs, they contain no mercury or other toxic substances. Proponents say LEDs can last some 60 times longer than incandescents and 10 times longer than CFLs. And unlike incandescents, which generate a lot of waste heat, LEDs don’t get especially hot and use a much higher percentage of electricity for directly generating light.

LED Manufacturers are Working to Make Bulbs Brighter
But as with early CFLs, LED bulbs are not known for their brightness. According to a January 2008 article in Science Daily, “Because of their structure and material, much of the light in standard LEDs becomes trapped, reducing the brightness of the light and making them unsuitable as the main lighting source in the home.”

LED makers get around this problem in some applications by clustering many small LED bulbs together in a single casing to concentrate the light emitted. But such LED “bulbs” still don’t generate light much brighter than a 35-watt incandescent, which most people consider too little light for reading or other focused tasks.

Consumers Can Purchase LED Light Bulbs Locally or Online
Other bulb makers are working on similar designs for high-powered LED bulbs, hoping that an increase in availability will help spur demand, which will in turn lower prices across the board. Until then, consumers can find LED bulbs suitable for secondary and mood lighting purposes in many hardware and big box stores. C. Crane’s 1.3-watt LED bulb, for example, generates as much light as a 15-watt incandescent bulb.
