led retro LED Retrofit Technology

According to a recent market research, the sale of traditional light bulbs in several European countries had dropped by 35 percent in the first quarter of 2009, with LEDs accounting for 65 percent of sales. Quite naturally, it did not take long for the infamous incandescent lamp to be replaced by its greener counterpart who continues to play a key role in energy conservation through LED Retrofit technology.

Thanks to their diminutive dimensions, energy efficiency and assured longevity, light-emitting diodes, better known as LED, are opening up new opportunities for energy efficient lighting applications. LED Retrofit technology helps achieve environmental synergy through energy efficient lighting fixtures installed at commercial centers, buildings and homes. It is the quickest path to the greatest energy saving solution available today and greatly reduces the consumption of electricity which, in turn, reduces demand and accordingly controls harmful emissions from off-site power generators.

Unlike LED Retrofit technology, the generation and distribution of electricity is only 25% efficient as a result of which, almost 10 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions are said to emanate from household… More >>
