The Role of Using LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) in Helping Preserve the Environment

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, November 20, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Before you decide which materials to use when planning for your next showroom, high rise building or even for your home, consider using alternative materials which helps towards the protection and preservation of the environment. A perfect example of this is using LED lights.

Commercial LED based lights with ultra-high brightness (UHB) are a wonderful, fairly recent technology as although they have been around since the 70’s, different colored LEDs with practical uses was only perfected in the late 90’s.

It is not only that LED lights lasts long due to its high resistance to wear and tear, they also have a lot of environmental and economical benefits. LED lights on average lasts 10 times longer than incandescent or halogen bulbs, does not use nor contains harmful elements such as mercury which are present in CFL or compact fluorescent bulbs and most importantly, it uses between 50 to 80 percent less energy than ordinary incandescent, halogen, neon or fluorescent lights. This means that if people will replace their traditional lighting with LEDs, they will not only reduce their carbon footprint across the region but they will also have huge savings on their light energy consumption as about 18 - 22 percent of an average household's electricity bill goes toward their lighting cost.
