Diogen Lighting is giving the world The Power to Save Energy TM.
Why LED? If you are looking for ways to have a direct, positive impact on the global environment, light emitting diodes (LEDs) are one of the few technologies today that allow us to accom-plish this goal. There are three key benefits of LED solid state lighting (SSL); energy effi-ciency, long life and safety. These benefits as listed below, are available today with Diogen Lighting’s state-of-the-art LED lighting. Three Key Benefits:
Energy Efficiency – Solid State Lighting creates more light while consuming 2 to 6 times less electricity. LED lighting uses nearly 80 percent less energy than an incandescent bulb, which translates to financial savings for you and a cleaner environment.
Environment – Solid State Light helps to lower levels of carbon dioxide and eliminate other wastes in the environment. The directionality of the light also helps to reduce light pollution.
Safety – The low temperature of solid-state lighting eliminates the risk of fire or burns. The low voltage also eliminates the risk of electrocution.
Other benefits include:
Long Lifetime— Solid state lighting has a lifespan 6 times greater than CFL’s and 40 times creater than incandescent Decrease maintenance
Quality of light is better than that of CFL and incandescent
Why LED? Energy Savings There are many different ways to evaluate your return on invest by switching to Light Emit-ting Diodes (LEDs) or Solid State Lighting (SSL). The fact is that by changing one of your in-candescent bulbs to an LED light, you can help protect the environment and save money. LED lights last 10 times longer than a regular incandescent bulb and are four times more effi-cient. LED lighting uses nearly 80% less energy which translates to financial savings for you. Though currently more expensive to purchase up front, LED lighting fixtures will save you in long-term operational costs. An 18-watt LED light (which has a life ten times longer than in-candescent) will save 570 kilowatts of energy. This would be a rough savings of nearly $50.00 on your energy bill. LED lighting provides immediate savings in power consumption. These savings are far reaching, from the Facility level to the Regional level. As LED installations grow from individ-ual usage to local or regional deployment there will be many payback factors to consider including environmental considerations.
Why LED? Energy Savings
Facility Level Payback – What to consider when estimating savings
Bulb Inventory – LED eliminates the need for large inventories of expensive replacement
fluorescent, halogen and incandescent bulbs. Labor – LED greatly reduces the labor associated with lighting maintenance. Recycling – Fluorescent bulbs contain mercury. LED’s eliminate the direct cost of labor
associated with recycling. Infrastructure savings – The low voltage wiring used in SSL is considerably easier to install
than 120VAC, saving installation dollars on materials and reducing labor associated with installation.
Regional Payback Potential reduction of $125 billion spending on electricity over the period 2005-2025 Potential 50% reduction in electricity use for lighting the United States. Potential 30% reduction in total US electricity production. Potential elimination of 28-40 million metric tons of carbon emission annually. Reduction in America’s dependence on foreign energy sources and the savings
associated.
An LED light easily pays for itself in its lifetime and benefits the environment! Intrinsically safe, no glass to break Instant Cold start Extremely durable Reduced thermal load Eliminating light pollution Low Heat Output Quality of light can be tailored to suit the human eye- eliminating eye strain
Why LED? Environment
By changing one light bulb in your home you could help to save the environment. Regular light bulbs put carbon dioxide, sulfur oxide and nuclear waste into the landfills and atmos-phere. By changing your light bulbs to low energy LED home lighting, one single bulb keeps one half ton of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere through its life cycle. It is possible that if every house in the United State switched to LED lights, 90 current power plants could retire. Another environmental benefit of LED lighting is the directionality of the light. Combating light pollution has become a primary mission for many organizations such as the Interna-tional Dark Sky Association (IDA). LED’s emit light patterns directly towards the desired illumination target and not into the sky. Furthermore, directionality aids in energy savings because energy isn’t being used to emit light beams that are trapped inside the fixture, thereby wasting lumens that are produced. There are many other incredible benefits to LED lighting technologies. These benefits are achievable over the next 10 years by aggressively developing and deploying LED technology. LED’s directly fight these wastes:
21% of all energy (oil, gas, coal, nuclear) goes to lighting 30%, the largest single category, of all electricity is consumed by lighting. 7% of the 463 tons of mercury used annually, or 32 tons is used to make high efficiency
fluorescent lighting. Using LED’s Produce environmentally sound benefits:
Reduction of $125 billion spending on electricity over the period 2005-2025 50% reduction in electricity use for lighting 30% reduction in total electricity production a savings of 3.5 quadrillion BTUs with elimination of approximately 115 million metric tons of carbon emissions annually
Why LED? Safety
No Hazardous Waste - LEDs are made from non-toxic materials, unlike fluorescent tubes
and HID lamps. There is no mercury in the LED source so the pollution danger is inexist-ent. Additionally, LEDs are recyclable.
Cool to the touch-With virtually no heat emission in the light beam, LEDs are perfect for applications where incandescent bulbs may constitute a safety hazard or may just damage sensitive materials (food for instance). LEDs provide cool light and safe-to-touch illumination fixtures.
No Ultra-violet emissions-Light emitting diodes contain no ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light can damage materials, cause color changes and harm living organisms in many ways. LED technology has eliminated the harmful components from the light sources. In museums and other applications where UV may cause a lot of damage, LEDs are the lights saving the day.
Low Voltage – LED’s emit light using semiconductor material instead of a filament or neon gas. Being semiconductor based they use safe and efficient low voltage power sources or even batteries so there is no risk of shock.
