The buzz is around global warming -what some may call the single most pressing issue we are facing in the world today, has many takers. The environmentalists say if we don’t do something to change our lifestyle now; we will reach a point of “no return.” Undeniably, the question we face today is – what are the changes we need to make.
Do you know one of the main sources of global warming today is the electricity generation? The electricity we use in our homes, offices and factories. And just the lightning uses about 19 per cent of total electricity. A conventional incandescent bulb turns only around five to ten percent of its consumed energy into light; the rest goes out as heat adding to the global warming.
So how you lighten up your house is not only about the aesthetics but also how it impacts the environment. Guess light has more relevance to it than just how it makes you feel. The kind of bulbs, the kind of fixtures, the kind of power, and the habits you keep can all add up to a very significant greening. Your one decision can take you to the first step toward helping to preserve the earth’s resources.
Earlier going green would just mean entering the prehistoric era. Nowadays with different options and products available in the market, it’s just about making a choice. CFLs and LEDs are few of the latest options available.
CFL bulbs are more efficient than conventional incandescent bulbs and convert 30 per cent of energy into light energy. A CFL can operate on only 20 per cent of the power of an ordinary bulb of similar output and has a life span 8-10 times that of a bulb. But LEDs deliver more brightness per watt and consume far less energy than even CFL bulb. The LED lightings have life as long as 11 years, thus, virtually eliminates the need for replacement.
The latest LED light bulbs now produce about the same amount of light per watt as CFLs, which are supposed energy efficient. Unlike incandescent bulbs and CFLs, which throw light in all directions, LEDs are directional and drive the light in one direction, so that one gets the light exactly where it is needed.
Some of the modern products designed using LED lights are the newly launched rechargeable Studylite Lamp by BPL. The lamp especially created to provide an ideal lightening system for studying uses LED bulbs for flicker free, UV and IR protected light. This environment friendly lamp is an endeavor towards a better and greener environment.
