LED Light Bulbs


Meanwhile, Philips Electronics has also engaged with the eThekwini municipality and unveiled Philips LED Bulbs installations during the United Nations _frame_work Convention on Climate Change seventeenth Conference of the Parties, or COP 17. The installation involved 149 streetlights installed in six streets around the Durban International Conference Centre.These offer energy savings of 47.4 MWh/y, or 26%, compared with the older 250 W _meta_l halide streetlights. In the future, the LED Light Bulbs will be controlled externally, raising the prospect of even more energy savings through the dimming of lights outside peak times.Lighting currently consumes an average of 19% global electricity production and a significant portion of this current lighting is _base_d on older, less efficient, technologies developed before 1970.A full switch to the latest LED Bulbs for home will provide energy savings of an average 40%. This equates to about €130-billion a year in running costs, or 670-million tons of carbon.
