EcoLEDs.com launches energy efficient replacement bulb for 40 watt light bulbs; uses only 5 watts of electricity, lasts 50,000 hours

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

Currently, about twenty percent of the electricity used in the United States is used to power lights. About ninety percent of that electricity is wasted by the extremely inefficient lighting technology still used today in homes, businesses and schools across the country. Switching to LED lighting could save America billions of dollars each year in electricity costs while dramatically reducing CO2 emissions and helping the country meet its energy independence goals by 2020. The EcoLEDs E27 2W LED lights currently retail for $39 each. They can be purchased online at www.BetterLifeGoods.
It also saves consumers $178.50 in electricity over its life, more than paying for itself in savings on the electric bill. "This small, simple light can help consumers greatly reduce their environmental footprint while helping prevent global warming," said EcoLEDs founder Mike Adams, an outspoken advocate of natural health and environmental protection. "They represent a new era in environmentally friendly lighting, and they make incandescent lights and fluorescent lights virtually obsolete." Currently, about twenty percent of the electricity used in the United States is used to power lights.
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. It fits into any standard light bulb socket and lasts 50,000 hours before needing to be replaced (more than a decade of normal use). Because of its extreme energy efficiency, the light reduces CO2 emissions by 3,570 pounds over its life, compared to a typical 40-watt light bulb. It also saves consumers $178.50 in electricity over its life, more than paying for itself in savings on the electric bill.

The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing

This treatment amounts to the destruction of brain cells by electricity. It is physician-induced brain damage. In electroconvulsive therapy, 180 to 460 volts of electricity are fired through the brain for one-tenth of a second to six seconds. The result is a severe convulsion, a seizure of long duration, a grand mal seizure, as in an epileptic fit. As several hundred volts of electricity go through that brain, the brain becomes starved for oxygen and pulls more blood in. This causes blood vessels to break, damaging the brain.

One of the semiconductot properties of connective tissue is piezoelectricity, from the Gteek, meaning "pressure electricity." Because of piezoelectricity, every movement of the body, every pressure and every tension anywhere, generates a variety of oscillating bioelectri-cal signals or microcurrents and other kinds of signals. . . .15 Because cells are surrounded by and embedded in connective tissue, they can communicate via this piezoelectrical network, turning the body into one vast electromagnetic signaling system so that every cell knows what every other cell is doing.

It's a good thing antioxidants are around, because free radicals just can't be avoided. Free radicals arise from three primary sources: the body the environment, and other free radicals. First, the body creates some free radicals inadvertently during the complex process that derives energy from food.

Now researchers from the University of Alberta have discovered that trans fats can also wreak havoc with the electricity in your heart, worsening the severity of heart attacks and increasing the risk of death. They discovered these unnatural fats also affect the cells of the heart, causing an excessive build-up of calcium within the cells and disrupting the rhythm of electricity flow in your heart. 3. Cigarette Smoking The risk of cardiovascular diseases increases greatly with smoking.

Why light bulbs are accelerating global warming and mercury contamination

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!
The $500 incandescent light bulb But what if the price of the light bulb at the store included the entire cost of the electricity needed to actually power the light bulb? 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.

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. While the widespread consumption of fluorescent lights may save our nation from wasting electricity on incandescent lights, it may also lead to a mercury contamination catastrophe.

In other words, paying for 50,000 worth of light from an incandescent light bulb actually costs MORE than $500! That's no bargain. Not by a long shot. Especially when a $100 ten-watt LED light bulb can operate for 50,000 hours using only about $54 in electricity. (We're assuming 10 cents per kilowatt-hour for these calculations. Folks in California are paying a lot more than that, but in some states, it's less...

This is not to say that the eighteenth century was a time of therapeutic stasis; new treatments did emerge, ranging from Jenner's technique of vaccination to widespread experimentation with medical electricity. Surgical outcomes improved as dissection became gradually a more common feature of medical training: surgeons more familiar with the body's interior operated faster, more efficiently, and with less blood loss.

Dynamo LED Flashlight Multi-tool with Interchangeable Bits (ECL-600) This dynamo-powered LED light includes six double-headed interchangeable screwdriver bits that allow you to make simple repairs, even when there's no electricity or light. This handy tool gives you a source of light and a reliable toolset, all in a single device that fits easily in a kitchen drawer. Retail price is $24.95 The Better Life Goods preparedness bundle To help NewsTarget readers enhance their preparedness, we've put together an incredible deal on four preparedness products to help protect you at home and when traveling -- or even during any major emergency like a freak storm, act of terrorism or natural disaster.
Most people don't have a radio that actually works when the electricity is out! This is why a dynamo-powered radio is the best solution for emergency preparedness. By turning the dynamo handle for one minute, you can generate up to 30 minutes of radio listening time. No batteries are required, and the units are so small and portable that you can slip them into your pocket or store them in the glove box of your car. The best dynamo devices can also charge your cell phone. This lets you make outbound emergency calls when needed, even if your batteries are empty.

The six hour charging time is typical for electric vehicles. The power is supplied through your household current, so the electricity could be generated by coal, solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear sources, depending on what your electric utility company uses. Off-board charging can be accomplished with a special charger in as little as 10 minutes, and a company called GreenIt is planning the construction of rapid-charging stations for electric cars. Phoenix Motors is generating a lot of interest from consumers, and may start selling vehicles to the general public in the next two years.
