2. The Lighting Issues
• High Energy Costs
• Employee Health / Productivity
• Carbon Footprint / Global Warming
• High Maintenance Costs
• Availability Issues
• Compliance with government regulations
• Budget Restraints
4. Energy Efficiency =
Lower Energy Cost
Traditional light bulbs and tubes utilize less than 25% of
the energy used to convert energy into light, the balance
is burned off in the way of heat.
5. Temperature of Lighting
Lamp Temperature Test
Bulbs Wattage Lumens Life Span in Hours Running Temperature
Promlite LED 7W 700 50,000 87.1°
Ecosmart CFL 14W 800 10,000 134.1°
GE Incandescent 60W 580 3000 196.2°
Promlite T8 4' Tube 15W 1500 50,000 86.3°
GE Ecolux T8 4' Tube 25W 1860 12,000 113.2°
With traditional light bulbs and tubes unused electricity is converted
into heat requiring additional energy to run air conditioning to
counter the added heat in a room or building. Depending on the
climate this could add up to substantial additional costs for each
bulb or tube compared to LED lighting.
7. The Issue – Carbon Dioxide
U.S. Carbon Dioxide –
Emissions, By Source
Part of the cause
– Wasted energy
In the US, one kilowatt-hour of electricity
will cause 1.34 pounds (610 g) of CO2
emission. Assuming the average light bulb
is on for 10 hours a day, one 40-watt
incandescent bulb will cause 196
pounds (89 kg) of CO2 emission per
year. The 6-watt LED equivalent will only
cause 30 pounds (14 kg) of CO2 over the
same time span. A building’s carbon
footprint from lighting can be reduced by
85% by exchanging all incandescent bulbs
for new L.E.D.’s.
9. Lower Maintenance Cost
With a life span of 50,000 hours or better LED lights last up to 5 times the life
Span of comparable Florescent tubes. The results are fewer maintenance hours
used changing bulbs.
