Parameter | Comments | |
Non Toxic | >> LEDs do not contain any toxic material such as Mercury. >> They not contaminate the environment when disposed. >> >97% material is recyclable. This reduces the burden on landfills used for dumping garbage. |
|
Health & Safety |
>> Since LEDs do not contain any toxic material, they are safe and do not pose any risk to life. | |
Long Life |
>> LEDs last as much as 20 times longer than other lighting sources, and therefore don’t need to be replaced often. | |
Low on Maintenance | >> LEDs also are designed to provide more than a decade of near maintenance-free service. Less servicing also reduces environmental impact. | |
Highly Energy Efficient | >> LED lights are up to 80% more efficient than traditional lighting. >> 95% of the energy in LEDs is converted into light and only 5% is wasted as heat. >> A 45W fluorescent TL can be replaced by a 15W Samudra LED TL. That is 67% lesser power consumption. >> Less energy use reduces the demand from power plants and decreases greenhouse gas emissions. |
|
Reduces Carbon Foot Print | >> LED lamps not only consume a far lesser energy than conventional lamps, but they also have the double benefit of lasting much longer and containing no mercury. >> Just by installing LEDs in homes, it is possible to reduce your carbon footprint by a whopping 6 tons per year. |
|
Reduces Load on Power Demand | >> Energy Saved is Energy Created >> LEDs consume >60% lesser energy in comparision to their conventional counter parts. If the world was to switch over to LED, imagine the amount of power saved and the avenues where the saved power could be utitlized. >> This means lesser thermal power plants, lesser dams for generating hydroelectricity, lesser nuclear power plants and this directly translates into lesser load on open/green spaces which are generally impacted when power plants come up. |
