SAVING THE PLANET
Our “Saving our planet” page highlights information about energy saving schemes from various sources including our own customers and government funded groups in the UK such as the Carbon Trust and Energy Saving Trust.
"Only around 6% of the electricity supplied to a traditional light bulb is converted to light. The rest is lost as unwanted heat." - The Carbon Trust
This statement from the Carbon Trust highlights just how inefficient many of the lighting components are that we take for granted today actually are. When you also consider the volatile costs of our energy over recent months, the need for both companies and individuals to consider more efficient ways to meet their lighting requirements becomes ever more significant.
Governing bodies worldwide are reviewing their policies to reflect the need to conserve our energy resources and reduce significantly our carbon emissions:
Examples of country policies include:
Ireland bans incandescent light bulbs "The aim of such a move will be to end the use of incandescent light bulbs in Ireland. These bulbs use technology invented during the age of the steam engine. By getting rid of these bulbs we will save 700,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year."
Australia has announced plans to ban incandescent light bulbs and replace them with more energy efficient fluorescent bulbs "It'll be illegal to sell a product that doesn't meet [an energy efficiency] standard, so that will happen by 2009/2010," -Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull
The UK has the ambition to be a frontrunner by banning incandescent before 2011. 'Our aim is to be one of the first countries to phase out inefficient bulbs by 2011' - Gordon Brown, UK Prime Minister
The European Union requires eco-design for energy inefficient products - To influence the design process in order to increase life-time efficiency - This directive has specified 14 product groups, including streetlights (starting end 2007) and office lights (starting mid 2008) – Currently there is no directive for domestic lighting, but this is planned for 2009.
