United Nations Makes Push for More Energy-Efficient LEDs

According to LightED Magazine, the United Nations is formally making the push for countries to use more energy-efficient LED bulbs. “One of the fastest and cheapest ways to deliver carbon savings and relief to stressed electricity grids is to shift to energy-saving LED lighting.

Noah Horowitz, Director of the Center for Energy Efficiency Standards at the Natural Resources Defense Council, noted, “Light bulbs are the low-hanging fruit in the efficiency tree. No other product offers such compelling savings on a per product basis. LEDs use up to 90 per cent less energy than conventional incandescent light bulbs.”

Making the Switch to LED Lights? The Environment Will Thank You!

Are you looking for more environmentally-friendly ways to upgrade your business?

According to LightED Magazine, “the use of LEDs to illuminate buildings and outdoor spaces reduced the total carbon dioxide emissions of lighting by an estimated 570 million tons in 2017.”

The efficiency of LEDs makes them environmentally-friendly and making the switch to LEDs doesn’t require consumers to reduce consumption or make lifestyle changes to help the environment.

According to Jamie Fox, principal analyst at IHS Markit, “LED component companies and lighting companies have transformed their industry. They are fighting climate change much more effectively than other industries.”

At RP Lighting + Fans, we make it our mission to stay on top of the latest technologies so we can provide you and your customers with the most efficient and up-to-date products to improve your business.

New ENERGY STAR® Ceiling Fan 4.0 Specifications & How It Will Affect You

New ENERGY STAR® Ceiling Fan 4.0 specifications will go into effect June 15, 2018 – this includes major changes to the efficacy requirements.

These new specifications create a series of concerns for suppliers and manufactures. It is feared that only ceiling fans with DC motors will be able to achieve the requirements, which are significantly more expensive, a cost that consumers may not want to pay. It's too soon to tell if consumers will choose the cheaper fans without the ENERGY STAR® rating, or if the rebates will make the extra cost of the DC fan the same as cheaper AC motor fans.

Switching to LEDs for Better Health

Did you know that switching to LED lighting is not only great for the environment, but could directly affect you, too?

Many companies and consumers are switching from compact fluorescent bulbs to LEDs due to their efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and significant environmental benefits.

Added to these benefits, new research finds evidence that bulbs could present health benefits as well, because the lights give off more “natural” light. Potential health benefits include:

• Increased employee motivation and commitment
• Improved concentration and energy
• “Mood support” in wellness and dining areas
• Reduced therapy times and capacity requirements

As a result of this research, more LED lighting has been installed in hospitals, health centers, schools, and offices. This concept, “Human Centric Lighting”, refers to the biological and visual impact lighting can have on the health and well being of humans.

Are you a lighting supplier? Are you looking for more ways to encourage your customers to switch to LED lighting?

Lighting solutions that allow individuals to adjust lighting levels, and the use of daylight-like lighting has been proven to help people who suffer from migraines, and mental health diseases such as anxiety and depression.

At RP Lighting + Fans, we have the most up-to-date research available to manufacture and sell LED lighting solutions. We can put you in touch with a vendor in your area to best serve your customers.

LED Lighting Manufacturing: Better for the Planet

You probably already know that LED lighting is better for the environment than traditional compact fluorescent bulbs and incandescent bulbs.

Did you know that the act of manufacturing LED lighting itself is also better for the environment?

LED bulbs consume less power per unit (lumen) of light emitted. This reduces greenhouse emissions from power plants, and carbon dioxide emissions for LEDs are also low. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, “lighting accounts for a fifth of the energy consumption in a U.S. household.”
In addition:

• LEDs generate less heat during use, so cooling costs for the average consumer are lower
• LED lights do not contain hazardous mercury, like compact fluorescent bulbs do
• Longer lifespan of LEDs means less production, packaging, shipping costs, transportation, and disposal
