The US government has abolished the old incandescent bulb and is pushing consumers to maximize energy efficiency by promoting the use of LED lighting over fluorescent. LED lighting has several key advantages over fluorescent. LED offers a major reduction in energy usage, better light quality, significantly longer life, reduced maintenance expense, produces less heat, eliminates [...]
Why, in a world as technologically advanced as ours, would supplying low-cost energy to all be a problem? That is a question for wiser people than me to answer. I’m sure getting down to the truth of it all would be quite an adventure. Political correctness and vested interests aside, the fact is that most [...]
You’ve been hearing about the virtues of LED light bulbs and may get the idea that they’re too good to be true. They ARE a huge advance in lighting and energy efficiency—probably more significant than going from kerosene lamps to the first incandescent bulbs in the scope of possibilities! It’s true. Here are some of [...]
First the regular old light bulbs we’ve always used in our homes began disappearing out of stores. Now you may be noticing that getting your commercial building’s fluorescent bulbs replaced is becoming more and more difficult. Where have all the fluorescents gone? US Department of Energy (DOE) regulations began phasing out various sizes of commercial [...]
In the last 6 years and particularly in the last two, LED lighting has really taken off as the main benefits become more widely known and understood: Extremely low energy use Long lifespan High-quality light Durability None of the maintenance (re-lamping, re-ballasting) associated with traditional incandescent and fluorescent sources Inherent controllability (instant on/off, full-range dimming), [...]
What if there were an easy-to-install, inexpensive, solar powered, LED light that could be wall-mounted anywhere—needed no wires, was waterproof so it could be used outside, and had light and motion sensors so it would turn on at night only when there’s motion and would remain off the rest of the time? What if you [...]
Have you thought about how great it would be to upgrade your commercial property to LED lighting but then on the heels of that thought, figured it’s just too expensive? A lot of folks have that idea. I run into it daily. The funny thing is that we have financing available that creates a POSITIVE [...]
The movement to switch to LED lighting is sweeping the nation. Literally. From cities in California to Rhode Island, from an island off the coast of Maine to a Florida sports complex, and street lights in Minnesota to New Mexico! Why? Huge savings on energy costs Significant reduction in energy usage These bulbs last 4 [...]
1 It's environmentally responsible LED lighting does not use mercury gas, is completely recyclable, and so does not have a harmful effect on the environment (fluorescent lighting does). 2 LED lighting uses 50 to 90% less electricity Imagine the immediate impact on your electric bill when the [...]
What Is PACE Financing? Most of the energy in the United States is created by burning fossil fuel. In this day and age, anything that can help us reduce the consumption of this type of energy in a meaningful way is applauded. But the biggest barrier tends to be upfront costs involved with the purchase [...]
