A physician wanted me to take prilosec, but a big caution, it can cause stomach cancer and a host of other things. Not only was I burping up acid in my esophagus, but it burned behind my nose and all the way down into my stomach. Posted by Patrizia (Pocatello, Idaho) on Best wishes to all you fello laser guys.Toothache, Gingivitis, Cuts, Eyelash Infection (2 ) One of the beautiful things about LED lighting is that you can see the heat signature that different objects in the room are producing with respect to there shadow. I gotta tell you we have converted our Laser manufacturing facility to LED and we are enjoying the difference that coherent light brings to the room. If left them on 24/7 in the year 2020 you will save $10,000 in energy bills.Ĭan someone check my math its late and this # dosn't sound right. If you change every bulb in your home and office lets say 20 bulbs. That is 5 times your initial investment in your future on Planet Earth. You will have saved $500 on your energy bill. Some time in the year 2020 your LED bulb will have lived its life. With an estimated lifespan of 100,000 hours. By the way it is scheduled to last 5 X longer than that.
If you buy a $100 LED bulb after 1.7 years its free to you, and yours to keep.
Lets look at a one bulb investment senerio with your figures. We can chat about the enviornmental investment later I understand your knee jerk price point issues. I don't know about you guys, but I am ready to invest in the future of the planet.
I will get the update specks with Internal efficancies as soon as I can to keep the comparisons to other available products easy to decypher. We did evaluate the light after the lense so you are right our LED specks are quite lower than other products on the market. I appreciate your input as this helps me correct the problem. It looks like our Web guy has mixed up the specks up on the ReLux 20W LED with anotherone of our products. I love the HQI and electronic ballast efficiency, just make sure you have a UV filter! With any luck I will be building a nice LCD projector with it (too bad the parabolic reflector ain't that great with the fresnels, dark on the edges) but all that is another forum. SteveI love my 150W 10,000k HQI Metal Halide with Electronic Ballast, originally for my fish tank an coral (you try moving with a fish tank, after two times I have no more fish tank). We're shooting for a mil/industrial specialty market, so not so bad. I just got hired to work on LED based lighting, so I too feel your pain. I'm willing to bet that as carbon caps hit, you start seeing a reactive load segment on your utility bill. Wait till all that excess reactance hits a system that (in the US at Least) is balanced for resistive load. Far less enviro damage to make a halide compared to a led.ĬFLs have some serious issues when used in residential environments, power factor being one of them. 20 years of stalled development by politics and greed, and the big lighting companies idea of "tungsten forever", so they would sell more bulbs, has left it a underused technology. Mark my words, Metal Halide is a technology that should not be passed over like it is now. I am in the solar power industry myself, so I'm in a similar situation. Sorry if this comes across a critical post. Replace whatever LEDs you're using now with for example SSC P7 LEDs.
Don't let yourself get beaten by fluorescent lights. In either case, you need to improve the efficiency of the device. I don't know if you're stating the external (outlet to light exiting the aperture) or internal luminous efficacy (LED only). Most modern LEDs are around the 100lm/W mark, some even higher. Your products have a rather low luminous efficacy compared to other LEDs. I don't think any of my lamps have been on for that long. h bulb lifetime it would take about 15000 hours or 1.7 years of continuous use. Assuming an electricity cost of $0.15/kWh, replacement bulb cost of $2. The "cold white" is roughly equivalent to a 60W incandescent light bulb in radiative power (the 60W bulb is a little more luminous). I made the calculation to see how long it would take until you actually start saving money on the 20W LED.
LED technology sure is nice, but unfortunately prohibitively expensive as well right now.
