Why Are LED Lights Environmentally Friendly?
Many people are concerned about the environmental issues. The truth is that there are little details that can significantly contribute to improvement of green technologies that consume less energy and produce less waste. The effects of green technology can be seen in many aspects of our life. One of the most important factors of green technology is energy consumption. The electrical appliances are considered green if they consume small amounts of energy. Therefore the future trends and researches are mainly directed in development of highly efficient and low energy consuming electrical appliances. The development of efficient and high quality lighting is of utmost importance for the future of green technologies.
What kinds of lights are environmentally friendly?
The traditional lights, such as mercury, sodium, fluorescent and incandescent bulbs, are not friendly to the environment because of the fact that they include heavy metals and toxic substances. It is very difficult to dispose the traditional lighting systems. They require special waste treatment processes and they are considered hazardous waste. The other characteristic of traditional luminaries is that they have high energy consumption. High energy consumption is leading to higher carbon footprint and higher emission of carbon dioxide. On the other side, LED lights are considered environmentally friendly because of the fact that they consume low amounts of energy and do not produce toxic waste. Once LEDs are installed, they can operate continuously for up to ten years, without any need for replacement and maintenance.
LEDs for green lighting solutions
LEDs are definitely considered for application in companies that require a lot of energy for lighting. It is well known that industrial facilities, ports, mines, storage facilities and other objects require a lot of light 24 hours a day. Their energy consumption is very high and they are desperately searching for new methods to save money and optimize production. After installing LEDs instead of traditional luminaries, these companies can save energy and reduce carbon footprint. Beside these great improvements, LEDs will also bring benefits to production and safety of industrial objects. Their bright light will influence the motivation and attentiveness of the workers. Therefore the number of accidents related to low visibility will decrease.
