Benefits of LED Lights Replacing CFL and Environmental Protection Recycle

What is an LED light bulb from BROSintl®?

Replacing your lighting with LED bulbs is one of the easiest things you can do to save electricity and money in your home! LED (light-emitting-diode) lighting surpasses the efficiency of existing technologies, such as CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) and incandescent bulbs. 

Benefits of LED Lighting of BROSled.com.

• Reduced Energy Costs.

LEDS use up to 80% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs.

• Dimmable.

Dimmable LEDs can be used with dimmers designed for LEDs.

• Long Lifespan.

LED bulbs last up to 25 Years or 25,000 hours based on average household usage.

• No Flicker.

LED bulbs don’t have any of that annoying flicker effect like other energy-efficient bulbs.

• Wide Variety of Colors and Types.

LED bulbs are available in a variety of forms, and emit a wide range of colors, from cool to warm. Need help selecting the right LED for you? Find our LED Selector Tool & Style Selector Sign at a participating retailers or contact our Energy Advisors at (206) 684-3800 or by email.

• No Mercury.

LED bulbs contain no mercury.

Environmental Considerations

Fluorescent lighting, like linear fluorescent tubes and compact fluorescent lamps (CFL bulbs), contain small amounts of mercury, so they must be recycled at a local collection site because they are banned from going in the garbage.

• Before recycling a working CFL or fluorescent tube, consider using it to in a place where light is not used very often. While LEDs may outperform fluorescent bulbs, there are few reasons to recycle a fluorescent bulb when it is still working.

• CFL recycling

If you're replacing a burned-out or old CFL be sure to visit one of these convenient locations that recycle CFLs for free: Bartell Drugs, Home Depot, Lowes, McLendon Hardware and SCL's North and South Service Centers.

• Linear fluorescent tube recycling

Linear tubes also must be recycled, for a list of locations visit Seattle Public Utilities recycling look up tool.

LED the Best Among Primary Types of Light Sources

Future-oriented LED Light

There are four main kinds of light sources used for indoors: Incandescent, Halogen, Fluorescent, and LED. Here is a brief introduction of each, to save the world, save the energy, LED should be widely used. Many countries have banned on the traditional incandescent light. All need make great effort on this. 


Incandescent

Incandescent lights produce light when an electric current passes through a filament, causing it to glow. Incandescent lights are generally the cheapest but also the most inefficient kind of lighting. Their short lifespan and high energy usage have pretty much made them obsolete for general lighting applications.


Halogen

Halogen lights are a more modern version of the incandescent light, often used for focused lighting needs, such as checkout area, display area, etc. Although they are less efficient than fluorescent and LED lighting, Halogen’s can be a viable option for some specific applications.


Compact Fluorescent Lamp(CFL)

Medium cost and fairly good efficiency, CFL lighting is a pretty standard choice for general lighting, because they are cost effective, last longer than incandescents, and are more energy efficient. Tube lights are the most common. CFL’s are an updated version of the fluorescent light that are even more energy efficient and longer lasting.


LED

Most expensive, longest lasting, most efficient, LED lights are the most efficient and longest lasting light source, which is why more and more area lighting are moving to LED’s, and more and more countries have banned rules for replacing traditional lightings to LED Lightings. We recommend LED’s for most applications. That's why we BROS International Co., Limited come to fulfil our obligations to save the energy and the world. 

You bring your determination, we've got everything else for your LED light solutions.
