Green Lighting
LED: Safe, Energy Efficient, Longer Life, Better Light.
LED’s consume less than half the electricity of compact fluorecent lamps and last about ten times as long. While there’s been concerns raised about the improper disposal and recyclig of traditional lights (CFL’s) as they contain small amounts of mercury, LED’s don’t have any mercury content at all.
In addition, LEDs are capable of producing a more natural light. Studies have shown that children were more alert and did better in school. Full spectrum lighting also enhanced the immune system so the health of people working under them was improved; they were less likely to get the flu during flu season, etc. For more info, see Jacob Lieberman’s book "Light: Medicine of the Future".
