The primary benefit of LED technology is the tremendous cost savings for the user as a result of eliminating replacement cost, lowering power consumption, and reducing operating temperatures. Moreover, LED lamps improve efficiency by providing reliable status indication.
When cold, and incandescent filament draws ten times as much current as it does during normal operation. The initial powering of hundreds of incandescent bulbs simultaneously causes significant voltage surges that lead to lamp failures.
LED lamps are designed with series resistors to limit the operating current, resulting in no cold filament current variation.
Designed as drop-in replacements, LED lamps offer several advantages compared to incandescent bulbs.
2. What is E-Lite¡¯s aim
E-Lite aims to tackle the problems by global warming.Global Warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. The direct manifestations of a widespread and long-term trend toward warmer global temperatures will increase Heat waves and periods of unusually warm weather, Glaciers melting, Ocean warming, sea level rise with coastal flooding, Arctic and Antarctic warming. Events that foreshadow the types of impacts likely to become more frequent and widespread with continued warming, is without doubt to cause Spreading of disease, Plant and animal range shifts and population changes, Downpours, heavy snowfalls, flooding, Earlier spring arrival, Coral reef bleaching, Droughts and fires.
Global warming is caused by the build-up of man-made gases in the atmosphere that trap the suns heat, causing changes in weather patterns on a global scale.The greenhouse gases of most concern are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides. If these gases in our atmosphere double, the earth could warm up by 1.5 to 4.5 degrees by the year 2050, with changes in global precipitation having the greatest consequences.
We must all take this issue seriously and take action now to amend what was caused by mankind in the first place. Act now, before it¡¯s too late!
3. LEDS at work
Using LEDs at work and saving money while maintaining good lighting requires thought and some basic change. Most work areas need at least two types of lighting:
-Light to navigate the work space safely.
-Light to carry out the task at hand (task lighting).
Since LED light bulbs are directional, they are perfect for task lighting. With a little planning and experimentation, once you achieve the setup that is right for the job the only difference you will notice will be the 90% savings on your electric bill.
At work, LED light bulbs can be real money and headache-savers. Install them in hard-to-reach areas to cut down on maintenance costs, or in areas where a vibration-resistant light is of the essence - like in an emergency corridor, in a workshop, or down by a fuse box. |
