LED Lights as a Sustainable Solution to Replaces Incandescent Lights.

LED Light Emitting Diode have improved enough to transition from being a source of ambient lights to a replacement for incandescent and other traditional forms of lighting. Not too long ago I wrote in the technical answers to questions on my website for solar outdoor lights that: "Solar LED lights were great for outdoor use but are not close to replacing incandescent bulbs for inside lighting." Well my recent reading and research have proven me incorrect.

As with many facts in life today: new developments have changed the outlook on the use of LED. LED Light Emitting Diode have improved enough to transition from being a sources of ambient lights to a replacement for incandescent and other traditional forms of lighting. There are now LED light bulbs, LED Fluorescent replacement bulbs, LED flashlights, LED neonskyltar security lights, LED traffic lights, LED under cabinet lights, LED lighting for commercial Applications, LED Task light, LED headlights, intelligent LED that help cut costs in warehouses and industrial buildings, vending machines, food freezers, retail lighting and solar LED light.

Energy Star recently stated that LED reduce energy usage by 75% and last more than 5 times longer than incandescent and 2 times longer then fluorescent lighting. It is because of the reduced energy usage that the use of solar to power LED light outside as the required solar plates are small and can be set directly on the solar light fixture.

The LED lighting revolution and setting the stage for incandescent light bulbs to become obsolete. Led lights offer a energy efficient environmentally friendly (by reducing carbon emissions) lighting solution.Currently the City of Des Moines is retrofitting city street lights and parking lot lights with LED to save energy costs. Initial cost is higher than standard bulb replacement. Yet the final savings in energy use and extended life of LED bulbs are significant up to 50% of the yearly budget for these lights. These savings are estimated to provide a pay back in three years.
