HALOGEN LIGHT BULBS NEXT TO BE OUTLAWED
High electricity consumers like the halogen light are next in the firing line as the European Union pulled the plug on the traditional light bulb recently.
LOW ENERGY CFL LIGHT BULB SCARE
Official advice from the Department of the Environment states that if a low-energy bulb(fluorescent curly tube type) is smashed, the room needs to be vacated for at least 15 minutes.
Environment Agencies have called for more information to be made available on the health and environmental risks posed by low-energy light bulbs. It says because the bulbs contain small amounts of mercury, more information about safe recycling is needed.
They also want health warnings printed on packaging and information on
how to clear up smashed bulbs in the home.

SAVING MONEY WITH LED LIGHTING
High volume end users of lighting equipment can achieve enormous SAVINGS by switching to LED lighting. LED offers proven energy savings, high levels of efficiency and a design life of over a decade.

Lighting equipment and light bulbs using LED light sources may appear to be expensive when compared with conventional incandescent lighting, a higher initial investment is required to benefit from 70% reduced operating costs.
LED Revolution supply commercial end users at discounted prices in return for high volume.
Because LED operates at low voltage and low temperature there is no reduction in brightness or yellowing, which is associated with traditional lighting, over the life span of the LED.
The low temperature also contributes to enormous 'hidden' savings in commercial applications where costly air conditioning is constantly battling against the heat emitted by traditional light sources.
High power LED light bulbs are designed last for up to 50,000 hours, that’s more than ten years, so the initial cost is easily amortised over a decade..
The cost of switching to LED can be spread by replacing old bulbs as they blow. Most conventional light bulbs only last about twelve months so the total cost is likely to be spread over at least a year.
Many ‘energy saving’ light bulbs are routinely criticised for providing poor brightness levels and light colour. The ‘flickering’ nature of some fluorescent lights has adverse effects in a work environment. High power LED provides a true ‘white’ light that is extremely close to natural daylight. High power LED lights are available in ‘cool white’ and ‘warm white’ colours.
LED lights require no regular maintenance so when the cost of replacement light bulbs is added to the labour cost of replacing an incandescent light bulb once each year, the LED light bulb actually offers exceptional value for money.
It is ESSENTIAL when comparing LED products to check that the LEDs used are the latest high power LEDs. Many products are now available in the market place but very few employ the same advanced technology as LED Revolution products.
WHO IS SAVING MONEY BY USING LED
Lighting is an essential and basic necessity, wherever you go, whatever you do, we all need light.
Schools, hotels, offices, banks, shops, factories, restaurants, hospitals, farms, supermarkets and local authorities can all benefit from a substantially reduced operating cost by switching to LED lighting.
Public opinion and increased awareness of the benefits offered by LED low energy lighting are beginning to have an impact on the lighting industry. LED Revolution aims to stay at the forefront of the market place by offering consistent quality and exceptional value for money.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Switching to LED lighting doesn't just save money. Adopting low energy lighting makes a powerful statement about your environmental responsibility and enhances your corporate image.
Corporations and public administration worldwide are showing growing concern for the well being of the planet and the reduction of fossil fuel reliance. LED lighting can make a colossal contribution to saving energy resources.
SMALL ACTIONS - BIG CHANGES
ONE BULB AT A TIME - As world wide energy resources dwindle and power costs continue to increase the case for alternative, energy efficient lighting has never been stronger. If you buy a LED bulb every time one of yours blows you will hardly notice the switch to LED and before you know it you won't need any more light bulbs!
We take our corporate responsibility to the environment very seriously. LED Revolution actively promotes awareness of innovative technologies that will help protect the planet by reducing our reliance on conventional fuels, save precious energy resources, halt the production of harmful emissions and contribute to keeping our planet safe.
There are many ways that each one of us can contribute to protecting our environment and preserving precious energy reserves. One of them is switching to low energy LED lighting.
