As several homes and businesses are going green, so should you. Environmental problems such as global warming and the constant build-up of thrash that leads to pollution is taking a toll in our society which is why everyone is taking steps in helping Mother Nature preserve its natural habitat and keep a healthy environment.
One major problem nature is facing is our dependence on energy and resources such as electricity and fuel.
We are all guilty of relying on too much energy whether we are at home or in commercial establishments. It is undeniable that energy or power sources are a big factor in performing most of our daily tasks such as cooking or cleaning. Most entertainment outlets also rely on energy. Watching television and using our computers consumes a lot of energy that increases our bills yet we continue to do all these things because we enjoy them.
How LED lights decrease energy consumption
Also known as green lighting or solid state, the amount of electricity that LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting is required to produce is around ⅓-1/30 of the amount of watts a fluorescent bulb would take. In addition, it only uses approximately 85% less electricity compared to incandescent bulbs.
This keeps it to stay longer while still providing a decent source of light. It also does not produce heat which can help in reducing the need to use air-conditioning in a room and save energy and electric bills at the same time.
