In the Netherlands it takes the combined output of two coal-fired power plants to produce the energy that is required for lighting crops in Dutch greenhouse cultivation. www.LEDTW.com can do this more efficiently. It’s the LED lighting solution for glasshouse horticulture. Crops only use parts of the full light spectrum to grow, and www.LEDTW.com lighting [...]
www.LEDTW.com Lighting is a fore-runner in sustainable lighting with LED technology
www.LEDTW.com Lighting wants to enable the transition from current wasteful lighting solutions towards energy-efficient alternatives, without making concessions on customer needs. In order to have the biggest possible impact www.LEDTW.com wants to be a paragon of this transition towards energy-efficient solutions that are within reach [...]
LED public lighting benefits
# Superior sight at night # Low energy use, so lower costs, less CO2 emissions. # 80.000 hours lifetime, maintenance free for 20 years # Cleverly designed luminaire prevents light pollution # Luminaire is produced sustainably, using recycled materials # Available in three light colors and a variety of light outputs. # [...]
Royal Philips Electronics extended further its leadership position in the lighting industry by outlining its holistic, energy-efficient and high-quality approach to lighting in response to dramatic shifts and market transformation that the industry is facing, largely fueled by the advent of solid state lighting (SSL).
Rudy Provost, CEO of Philips Lighting said Philips today is at [...]
Many people are making the switch to compact fluorescents (CFLs) from incandescent bulbs to save energy. But the CFLs are still not making people happy, because CFLs cost more than standard bulbs and they contain mercury – which is an environmental concern. They take time to warm up to full brightness, especially in cold weather. [...]
With the growing awareness of the importance of environmental protection, LED (light emitting diode), due to smaller size, energy efficiency, longer lifespan and quicker activation than traditional lighting sources, is regarded as the answer to future lighting needs.
The lighting industry generally agrees that LED lighting holds immense potential to replace traditional counterparts in the next [...]
There are millions of general service fluorescent tubes in the market place today, until recently these were considered the most energy efficient lighting solution available. The downside to this for of lighting is that each tube contains a small amount of mercury vapour, a toxic heavy metal. This can provide not just a health risk [...]
Even better, the industry offers a superior product with an earth-first attitude. The LED light bulb, which use current passed through a diode to provide light, is in the midst of serious growth. Databeans, a leader in electronics market research, estimates that the global LED market will grow to $5.3 billion by the need of [...]
LED Basics and Background
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor chip that emits light when conducting current. LED’s are very versatile due to their ability to emit nearly all spectrums of light. This has led to their nearly universal adoption as a light source for a wide range of applications from: status indicator lights, to [...]
In 2008 Lemnis Lighting launched a revolution in public lighting: the het Lumis-LED luminaire. This LED lighting solution for the public space saves 30 to 70 percent energy in relation to traditional lighting. With the Lumis-LED, public authorities can make a giant step in reducing energy use, CO2 emissions and light pollution. Street light by [...]
