LED is half a billion tones less CO2 in 2017!


LED is half a billion tonnes less CO2 in 2017!


There are several reasons why LED is better for the environment. It is a technology that has a longer life span, consumes less energy than traditional lighting and therefore promotes the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Why reduce CO2 emissions?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas naturally present in the atmosphere (fires, volcanic eruption ...). However, in addition to the natural emissions of this gas, human activity tends to add a surplus of CO2 emissions (heating, vehicles ...). This leads to an increase in the so-called "greenhouse effect”. What is the greenhouse effect? The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon. The latter allows our dear planet Earth to maintain a certain level of temperature to preserve life. However, just as with carbon dioxide, human activity tends to accelerate this phenomenon.

How does LED lighting help reduce CO2 emissions?

Most of the carbon dioxide surplus comes from our electricity consumption. Light-emitting diodes use energy more efficiently than halogens or fluorescent lamps. Some LED lighting solutions can save up to 90% energy compared to previous solutions. In addition, they have a lifespan that can be 20 times longer than traditional lighting. All this reduces the overall annual electricity consumption (kW / h) and therefore reduces drastically energy consumption throughout the year, resulting in an overall reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. Investing in LED has an even greater impact than the return on investment, it is also good for the environment.

In addition, the manufacture of LED products is made with 100% recyclable materials. In fact, at the end of their life, LED bulbs will not end their lives in nature but will be recycled. This is another important factor in reducing their secondary carbon footprint. All these actions can have a significant impact on the environment as well as your electricity bill (17% of the electrical use of a home comes from lighting alone).

How much have CO2 emissions been reduced with the use of LED in 2017?

According to a study by IHS Markit - an American company world leader in economic information - the use of LEDs to illuminate buildings and outdoor spaces have reduced the CO2 emissions of nearly 570 million tons in 2017! We can hope to see this figure improve as the massive installation of LEDs in the world. We have been very involved in improving the carbon footprint. In 2017, we sold to nearly 150,000 companies worldwide. Of these companies, over 60% have only purchased LED lighting products on our site. Go to the LED!

What is LED binning?

What is LED binning? In the industrial production of LEDs, there are always differences due to the production process: all LEDs are different - in terms of their characteristics - in a batch of products. To avoid large deviations, those with similar performance are grouped together in "garbage cans". This process is particularly necessary for LEDs with white light spectra. But why are LED binning ranges important for consumers? The answer is simple: binning systems manage the different LED performance variations during mass production and guarantee LED-specific lighting standards. Most manufacturers sort their products into: ·          Luminous flux (Lumen) ·          Light color (Kelvin) ·          Voltage (Volt) Luminous flux and color temperature are the most important criteria that directly affect product performance. For example, to sort the...

Retro LEDs and vintage bulbs

Retro LEDs and vintage bulbs The world of LED is changing rapidly. Customer requests must be met. However, a specific trend has been going on for a few years now. These are retro LEDs and vintage. What are their characteristics? Their differences? Retro products are inspired by the old to make something new. In terms of retro LEDs, the products are manufactured in such a way that they recall traditional lighting technologies while sp orting LED technology. "You can say that all products are retro, but not the other way around." LED Retro: what is it? Retro LED bulbs are modern LED bulbs designed after traditional incandescent bulbs. In recent years, LEDs have appeared fairly standardized. This was mainly due to the use of flat LED chips that left little flexibility in terms of design. Manufacturers such as Osram, Crest, Philips, and Sylvania have developed a unique technology (LED Filament) in order to have LED chips vertically inside the bulb to mimic a pat...
