That 22% of the electrical consumption in the USA is used on lighting. A substantial amount of energy can therefore be saved by converting to LED lights. Since the primary source of energy in the USA is the burning of fossil fuel and thus generation of CO2, the environment will benefit from a reduction in the amount of CO2 emitted for every kilowatt of energy saved. Every mW-hr of electricity saved will reduce CO2 emissions by 1 ton.

Excessive CO2 emissions are a key reason for the partial destruction of the earth’s ozone layer and onset of global warming. Landfills will also benefit from the implementation of LED lighting due to the long useful life of the LED lights. One LED light can last has long as 50 conventional incandescent light bulbs. This is a true savings of waste.

The Energy Independence Act of 2007 requires that lighting efficiency be improved 28% compared to the incandescent standard of 2007 and be phased in during 2012.  Therefore a 100w incandescent bulb will need to provide the same light output but operate at 72w.  LED will become the lighting technology of choice due to its lighting efficiency, long life, and lowest cost of ownership benefits.  California already has legislation to ban incandescent bulbs by 2012. Canada will discontinue the sale of incandescent bulbs in 2012, Australia in 2010, and Europe will be phasing out in 2010 as well.
