AffordableLED shares this vision as well. We believe that by providing various products such as scrolling LED sign that on the same technology, we are able to encourage business owners to take part in saving the environment.

Over the years, a number of studies have proven the merits of using the LED technology in terms of energy consumption and product longevity. This resulted to adaptation and various innovations not only in the lighting industry but in the manufacturing of computer screens and televisions as well.

This promising technology may still have a long way to go but it is well on its way on turning our planet into a green one.

 The infographic below provides the following insights:

*  Lighting amounts to 20% of the world’s electrical consumption

*  The 6% of global greenhouse gas emissions attributed to lighting is equal to 70% of the emissions from the world’s passenger vehicles

*  LEDs achieve 50 to 70% energy savings. This increases to 80% when used with smart controls

*  By 2020, the penetration rate of the LED technology is expected to be at 64% which translates to an 800% increase. During this time, the prices of LED bulbs are expected to drop by 80%.

*  A 40% energy savings through LEDs could save $ 129 billion in electricity costs and 670 million tons of CO2

And most importantly…

*  If LEDs reach their full potential, they could almost single-handedly eliminate lighting as a major source of global emissions.

Do your share in making the world a better place through your business. Invest in LED signs and LED lighting fixtures to grow your business as you help lessen the amount of global emissions. Big changes can be achieved through small steps.
