BanTheBulb.org promotes energy efficient lighting, but neglects LED lights Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

These led lights are completely free of mercury, and they generate clean white light using 1/10th the electricity of incandescent light bulbs. They're more expensive up front (due to the use of high quality components), but they last 50,000 hours and pay for themselves within 1 - 2 years of use due to electricity savings. Promoting the use of compact fluorescent lights is, I believe, creating a serious threat to the health of our environment. Most consumers do not properly recycle fluorescent lamps.

My aim is to educate consumers about the advantages of led lights and make them so popular that even Wal-Mart starts selling them, putting my own company out of business. I will only consider EcoLEDs.com a meaningful success when led lights are sold at mass merchandisers and incandescent lights become a thing of the past. I hope The Home Depot stops giving away toxic fluorescent lights and starts selling led lights instead. Isn't it interesting how the U.S.

New LED lighting technology embraced by consumers, Total Cost of Ownership saves money over incandescent, fluorescent bulbs Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Our high-end led lights are fantastic in desk lamps, as they offer extreme brightness and outstanding light clarity that's useful for any work or study situation. They're also perfect for recessed lighting and down lights. I'm actually writing this article with the help of a 10-watt LED light in a small desk lamp that's aimed at my wall. It bounces white light across the entire room, illuminating my keyboard and computer. (It also stays cool enough to touch, since it doesn't waste much electricity as excess heat.

First, the price issue: led lights are, indeed, far more expensive up front than incandescent lights or fluorescent lights. Our high-end 10-watt LED light bulb, for example, currently costs just under $100. It replaces an incandescent 100-watt light bulb that typically costs around $1. So at first, the 10-watt LED light seems to be $99 more expensive. However, lights do not actually work unless they also consume electricity, and thus the real question about the cost of light bulbs must take into account the Total Cost of Ownership, or TCO.

Compact fluorescent lights will eventually be abandoned as the public learns the truth about their mercury content. Only led lights offer energy efficiency and environmental friendliness at the same time. That's why LED lighting technology represents the future for both residential and commercial lighting. Philips says it will even stop manufacturing incandescent lights by 2016, but most consumers will have switched long before then. Within a few years, only the most financially-ignorant consumers will even consider using incandescent light bulbs.

No consumer in their right mind would continue to throw away their cash (and destroy the environment) when a sensible, efficient alternative is readily available. And led lights will get even brighter, better and less expensive in the coming years. Through EcoLEDs.com, I'm making an effort to bring these lights to eco-conscious consumers around the world. Within a few years, we hope to have lights exceeding 500 lumens of light output that will cost under $50 at retail. The trends are already in place, and U.S. LED component manufacturers are gearing up their factories for higher volumes.

Even right now, buying led lights makes great economic sense. They pay you back in 1-2 years in electricity costs alone (depending on how much you pay for electricity), not to mention the benefits of protecting the environment from more CO2 and mercury emissions. That's an environmental cost that consumers rarely factor into their monthly electricity bill, but it's a very real cost associated with wasting electricity. What is the value of preventing the release of 10,000 pounds of CO2 into the air? What is the value of preventing the release of a kilogram of mercury from a power plant?

LED lights for home and office use, has announced the availability of an LED replacement for 40-watt light bulbs. Its "E27 3W LED" light uses only 5.2 watts of electricity and produces 135.2 foot-candles of light on a desk surface from a distance of 24 inches (a typical 40-watt incandescent light bulb produces only 10 foot-candles of light on the same surface). The light bulb exploits new technology in the area of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) to deliver a high-brightness, energy efficient light bulb that contains only three LEDs.

I hope The Home Depot stops giving away toxic fluorescent lights and starts selling led lights instead. Isn't it interesting how the U.S. government requires Energy Saver statistics to be printed on washing machines, dryers and other household appliances, but NOT on incandescent light bulbs (which are, by any measure, the least efficient household appliances of all)? I think we should start with mandated labeling that shows the lifetime cost of each bulb sold at retail so that consumers can start to see the different in the total cost of ownership right there at the point of purchase.

LED lights, radios and combo tools (see below for discount link). HEAT and SHELTER: In every emergency, you'll need heat and shelter. (Or, if you're in the desert, you'll need shade and water.) Heat is easy to conserve with a well-made low-temperature sleeping bag. A wood-burning stove is also a fantastic solution and far better than any fireplace (which loses most of the heat it generates). Don't try heating your house with a propane heater or outdoor cooking stove, either: The carbon dioxide emissions will fill your house and cause you to never wake up again.

Changing light bulbs to led lights is one of many ways to start making a different right now, but accomplishing it requires that the population can grasp concepts such as total cost of ownership. Here's a joke for ya: How many lawmakers does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: Only one, but there has to be a corporate sponsor to pay for it first. Learn more about the total cost of ownership of light bulbs at: http://www.ecoleds.com/PR03.

If that incandescent light bulb actually lasted 50,000 hours like led lights do, the cost of buying the bulb together with all the electricity needed to power it would be a whopping $500!. Would you pay $500 for a light bulb? Of course, incandescent lights don't last 50,000 hours. They last only about 1,000. Which means you have to buy fifty bulbs, replace them fifty times and throw fifty burned out bulbs in the garbage, all while still paying nearly $500 in electricity anyway. In other words, paying for 50,000 worth of light from an incandescent light bulb actually costs MORE than $500!

But the smarter, better-informed consumers out there (like NewsTarget readers) get this right now, and they understand that led lights make instant sense in terms of personal economics and planetary impact. (Full disclosure: I am the founder of www.EcoLEDs.com which manufactures and sells LED light bulbs, and I have a financial stake in the commercial success of EcoLEDs. A portion of every sale provides financial support to the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center, where I volunteer as the executive director.

One such device that I highly recommend is called the Litebook, which uses special led lights that peak at the same wavelength of natural sunlight in order to give you exposure to these light frequencies from a handheld device. See the Google Video about LiteBook at http://video.google.com (search for "Litebook"). These can help treat or prevent depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder, and they may even prove to have a preventive effect against behavioral disorders such as the fictional Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder that I talk about elsewhere.

Interview: Larry Pederson and the LiteBook portable phototherapy device Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The peak wavelength of sunlight is in the blue part of the spectrum -- it's 460 nanometers, to be specific -- and that is the peak wavelength of the led lights we're using in the Litebook. Mike: I see. Pederson: When this light strikes your eye, it actually excites that little photoreceptor that tells the brain, "Okay, it's bright, you need to be alert," and it shuts down your melatonin.

The "Simplic-I ity" led lights from Philips come in a range of shapes and look so great you wouldn't dare cover them up with a dusty shade. Philips is also working on a line of LED bulbs that change color and brightness with a simple twist or tap. In purchasing LEDs, we flex our power over the global market, driving down the cost of making them, and thereby increasing the developing world's access to them [see Using Energy Efficiently, p. 167]. Light-collecting-and-emitting Interiors ¦¦¦¦ Everyone knows that natural light is good for us.

Opposite, left: Aurelle "candles" from Philips use led lights. Opposite, right: The Parans lighting system brings sunlight inside. between various bulbs, we can now bring the sun inside for even better quality—and lower-impact—illumination. sr & jf Light-emitting Diodes ¦BR Compact fluorescent bulbs are currently the best choice for efficient home lighting (unless we're willing to outfit our homes with office-style big-tube fluorescents), but LEDs may soon outshine them. Light-emitting diodes give off light when electrons in a semiconductor oscillate.
