DOE to the latest report: LED is affect the environment minimum efficient green lighting

The U.S. department of energy (DOE), according to a recent report LED lighting's significance, and than incandescent bulbs, influence on environment is low and slight super fluorescent lamps (CFLs). "LED manufacturing and utility" this report is mainly in comparing the three different light bulb life cycle, including production, operation and eliminated. This report for the LED bulbs to do comprehensive research and analysis of the three different kinds of light bulb production, assembly, transport, and eliminating effects on energy and the environment. This is the first report publicly discuss LED production process, support the doe to protect the public's air and water, to improve the competitive power of the American clean energy and help family and general companies save the cost of energy bills.

This is a department of energy's second big report, evaluation compared with the traditional light bulb, LED bulb life cycle cost of environment and resources.

This report used on a report that is published in the February 2012 "Review of the Lifecycle Energy Consumption of Incandescent and Compact Fluorescent and LED Lamps" conclusion, continue to make more detailed evaluation, comparing three different lighting source widespread impact on the environment.

Report points out that the traditional fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and LED lights are very similar in terms of energy consumption, the consumption of energy is less than incandescent bulbs, and compared with manufacturing and transportation, run time consumes most of the life cycle energy. Because running efficiency is high, consumption is 12.5 watts of power and can achieve and CFLs (15 w) and incandescent bulbs (60 watts). Report test has 14 15 shows the LED bulbs are the three most friendly to the environment of lighting lamps and lanterns.

In addition to discard positively, all aspects of the test showed that compared with LED bulbs, CFLs environmental impact is bigger. LED the inside of the aluminum alloy material after precipitation on the landfill can cause great harm. DOE the report pointed out that in the next five years, based on the short-term improvement technology, the LED will impact on the environment than today's influence to small,

When market-oriented in order to save money for customers and companies, from incandescent bulbs to save energy for use of lighting, LED lights and CFLs's impact on the environment, we expect to reduce today's 3 to 10 times as much.
