Environmental Benefits of using LED Christmas Lights

By changing one light bulb in your home for an energy efficient LED bulb, you could help to save the environment. Regular light bulbs put carbon dioxide, sulfur oxide and nuclear waste into the landfills and atmosphere. 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 in the U.S.A.

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 International Dark Sky Association (IDA). LED's emit light patterns directly toward 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 produces 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 BTU's with elimination of approximately 115 million metric tons of carbon emissions annually.

LED Lighting is an important step in the quest for a greener and brighter tomorrow.
