LED Lighting Saves 50%-80% On Electrical Lighting Cost
Led Lighting New Media Kit
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF TRADITIONAL LIGHTINGA typical commercial building's lighting averages 37-50% of it's electrical demand. LED lighting would decrease this by at least 50%. One billion fluorescent lamps are disposed of every year globally.That's 50,000 pounds of mercury waste. It takes only 4 mg of mercury to poison 7,000 gallons of water. Enough mercury to pollute every gallon of water in the US & Canada. 70% of the nations electricity comes from dirty coal burning plants. IF JUST 25% OF FLUORESCENT LIGHTING FIXTURES IN THE U.S. WERE CONVERTED TO LED'S WE COULD: Prevent the release of green house gasses equal to 10 million cars. Save 15 billion in electrical cost annually. Decommission 133 coal burning power plants. Reduce carbon emissions by 158 metric tons & avoid releasing 5,700 pounds of airborne mercury.
