Action: Switch out your light bulbs to LED.
- LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs are the latest technology in bulbs replacing tungsten, fluorescent and halogen incandescent bulbs.
- Research shows that in a typical home, lighting accounts for 15% of all energy use
- LED bulbs are the most efficient - lasting up to 20 times longer than a halogen bulb and up to 50 times longer than a incandescent light bulb
- LED bulbs use only a fraction of the power consumed by other light bulbs - saving you money and causing less damage to the environment
- Using LED bulbs means less maintenance - they don’t give out so often and so don’t need to be replaced by your staff
- In Europe and other regions old style light bulbs are being phased out by law in favour of LED
- The average home in the US has 40 light bulbs. Replacing them with LED could save up to $300 a year in energy costs
- Start a list of what makes your business green. Once you have a few steps under your belt you might want to promote your efforts and reap the benefits of being environmentally sustainable. Your guests and clients will love what you are doing. Why wouldn’t they?
