Welcome to the Energy Zone

In this area of the website we have formulated some amazing statistics that will show you the potential energy savings in both kilowatts and electricity costs by using LED lighting modules as direct replacements for standard incandescent light bulbs.
Everyone around the world is concerned about our environment and the effect that energy usage has on global warming. Using LED lighting as an alternative to standard filament light bulbs will help the environment in several ways.
- The amount of energy needed to power an LED module can be up to 80% less than its conventional counterpart.
- LED's have no consumable parts so therefore no light bulbs to change. This cuts down on wastage and most importantly the damage to the environment caused by the production of incandescent light bulbs.
- Ultra-Violet Radiation is a big problem throughout the world - LED's do not output any harmful UV radiation.
The cost of electricity has become a major problem in our modern world, with power costs in Jersey increasing by 20% this year. The amount of money that can be saved by using LED's to light your homes, offices and streets is quite staggering.
Take a look at the PDF files listed below. These show a few simple scenario's of common lighting requirements pitching conventional lighting against LED lighting technology.

Scenario 1 - A room fitted with 6 conventional in-ceiling downlights.
In this scenario the comparison is made between using standard MR16 - 50 Watt Halogen bulbs against MR16 LED Modules fitted with 3 Watt Luxeon LED's.
|
Scenario 2 - A room fitted with 6 conventional in-ceiling downlights.
In this scenario the comparison is made between using standard MR16 - 50 Watt Halogen bulbs against MR16 LED Modules fitted with 6 Watt Luxeon LED's.
|
Scenario 3 - A exterior 300 Watt Halogen Floodlight
In this scenario the comparison is made between using a standard 300 Watt exterior halogen floodlight against an exterior IP67 rated LED module fitted with 12 Watt Luxeon LED's.
|
Scenario 4 - A exterior 500 Watt Halogen Floodlight
In this scenario the comparison is made between using a standard 500 Watt exterior halogen floodlight against an exterior IP67 rated LED module fitted with 36 Watt Luxeon LED's.
|
Scenario 5 - An installation using 3 x 500 Watt Halogen Floodlights
In this scenario the comparison is made between a typical installation using a total of 3 x standard 500 Watt exterior halogen floodlights to light the exterior of a building against 3 x exterior IP67 rated LED modules fitted with 36 Watt Luxeon LED's.
