LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES (LED)
LED (or light-emitting diode) lighting is one of today’s most energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly lighting technologies. In an age where environmental responsibility is high on the agenda for most businesses, LEDs provide an attractive alternative to other forms of lighting.
One of the main reasons why LED light bulbs are considered so eco-friendly is the fact that they are designed to last much longer than conventional light bulbs. LED light bulbs can last up to 20 times longer than standard forms of lighting such as incandescent bulbs or halogen bulbs, which has a very positive effect on the environment.
Standard LED bulbs can be up to 80% more energy efficient than conventional bulbs, and waste far less energy than other styles of lighting. LED lights convert 95% of their energy into light with only 5% being wasted as heat, meaning that LEDs require less power than regular forms of lighting, so obviously the less energy they require, the more positive the effect on the environment.
FINAL LIGHTING AND WIRING PLANS
LED lighting is the best option for the EcoHub as it is a sustainable energy efficient, low maintenance and low energy cost source of lighting for the unit. It can also be used in several different forms, meaning the space can be lit through decorative and practical units.
