Save helping nature is the goal of many people. But how? Let’s start with the lamps to be careful what we use in our everyday environments, and if necessary, replace them with more suitable lamps.
Make sure you have on hand: Energy-saving lamps, LED lamps.
Let’s start with the environments in which we spend most of the day: home and/or office. It is very important to choose one that will go to the lamp that will accompany us for the next few years. The traditional filament bulbs have a very simple operation: the current through a thin filament, making it glow.
This will create lighting. Modern energy-saving lamps do nothing but use less power along the filament. This ” lack ” of illumination is compensated by a gas inside the lamp, which radiates uniformly light, amplifying it.
So here it is easy to see how they can, these energy-saving lamps consume less of the traditional filament bulbs. One of the first advantages is, of course, the annual savings (according to some calculations, with an average of 8 hours of lasting power.
A low-power lamp brings a saving of around $30 per year: a lot of money! If you think, you replace your lamp filament will cost about ten euros each, you know very well that with about 4 months of use, the cost has been amortized.
Another advantage will be the less heat produced by the same, which improves the life of the lamps themselves. It is clear why: passing less current in the lamp, this will consume (and thus heat) less.
Over the years we are developing more and better jobs that lead to lamps made from increasing at the same power consumption. We now come to the last frontier in lighting: LEDs.
The LED (or Light-Emitting Diode) is no more than the diodes traversed by electric current. Of course, their consumption is negligible. Suffice it to say that if we want to light up a room of about 20 square meters, we will need about 100W, which rose to about 25W for energy-saving lamps, for up to about 10W LED lamps.
These lamps have a very high yield, as well as their duration. They have a different mechanism than traditional energy-saving lamps, which allows them to have a consumption almost halved compared to modern energy-saving lamps.
Of course, the LED lamps have a much greater cost and are difficult to find. Having said that the council is obviously to replace as many bulbs as possible inside your home/office, at least as far as lamps that are turned on for more than two hours a day (otherwise, the cost is amortized over a long time), giving a helping hand not only to nature but also to our portfolio !.
