Current Lighting uses anode and cathode posts with a filament that lasts only a short time because the heat expands and contracts the material.LED lights use a solid material (Solid State Light) in place of a filament that emits light which lasts 10x longer because the heat management is more efficientLEDs are based on the semiconductor diode, electrons are able to recombine with holes and energy is released in the form of lightthe color of the light is determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor. The LED is usually small in area (less than 1 mm2) with integrated optical components to shape its radiation pattern and assist in reflection.
This leads us to the construction or styDestruction of the environment and high recovery cost in mining mercury.Mercury seeps into local water tables from out dated land fields, dumps, and mines.Easily contaminates enclosed areas from lamp breakage IE: Home or Work.Disruption of the nervous system and damage to brain functions .DNA damage and chromosomal damage which lead to some cancers.Allergic reactions, resulting in skin rashes, tiredness and headaches.Negative reproductive effects, such as sperm damage, birth defects and miscarriages.And countless more ramifications with using mercury!le of the most popular types of lights.
Major advancements to the bulb over time
Depending on the Glass, shape, gas and gas pressure with in can change the out put tremendously! This can result in some of the following.
Construction methods very different but all based on same technology.Mercury VaporsBalast neededStarter neededLots of glass shrapnel if dropped
Powered Ballast Uses extra Electricity and additional materials including large quantities of copper, steel, tar (flammable) , and leadElectrical Wire gauges is thicker and copper costs are fluctuating wildlyProduces Heat in disproportionate amounts up to 60% wasted energy. Very HOT!Heat degrades the component materials to shorten lifespanBulbs contain mercury and lead and coal plants which produce electricity release mercury.
One of the challenges of creating a long-lasting industrial light is the heat generated by the entire fixture, bulb, ballast, and reflector. The heat generated degrades the materials from which these lights are made; rubber, copper, steel, etc., which in turn reduces the lifespan of the light.
