Use LED light bulbs as an energy saving alternative
25 February 2009, by Isabella
It seems like LED lights are quickly taking over the lighting market these days. You see them in now in everything from flashlights to holiday bulbs. They can use as little as 15% as much energy as a standard incandescent bulb, so about 6 eco-friendly LED bulbs still use less energy than your standard bulb. They contain no mercury, no lead, and are run very cool.
Marktech LED Lighting Products has added the EnergyLED E26 LED light bulb to their line of LED lighting products. This energy efficient bulb uses just 4.6 watts to generate 160 lumens of light, a stark comparison to standard light bulbs. On average, LED light bulbs use up to 85% less electricity and last up to 50 times longer than current incandescent lamp offerings. This E26 based, UL approved family of LED light bulbs are currently available in three white color temperatures, 2800k warm white, 5200k full spectrum white, and 6000k cool white. Colored bulbs include red, green, blue and yellow.
“Our LED bulbs are engineered to last 50,000 hours,” says Mark Campito, CEO of Marktech. “This extremely long life will virtually eliminate maintenance costs, and will help users see a return on investment as LED Bulbs typically pay for themselves in a period of one to two years.”
Campito adds, and research confirms, that Energy LED light bulbs are also environmentally friendly as they produce far less CO2 emissions than standard incandescent and fluorescent lighting. Additionally, disposal is not a concern because the bulbs are lead free and contain no mercury. These lights generate very little heat and emit no UV rays, which make them an ideal choice for the museum industry and similar displays. If you’ve looked at the label of CFC bulbs, you may see mercury listed.
“In applications where vibration is a factor in the life of a light bulb, LEDs are not affected,” says Campito. “These lights are also perfect for store fronts and point of purchase displays where illumination is needed for long hours and may be changed or moved frequently.”
Marktech also offers LED replacements for T5, T8 and T9 type lighting.
The EnergyLED series of bulbs is currently offered for $32.00 on Marktech’s web store. Its expensive compared to regular lights, but you’ll save that money in about 18 months.
