15. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates
that if 50% of the buildings in the U.S switch
to LED lighting by 2027, we could:
- Deliver savings of about $265 billion. 130+
Countries have their total annual GDP less
then this amount
- Avoid 40 new power plants.
- Reduce lighting electricity demand by 33%
in 2027.
- The Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005
established a tax deduction for energy-
efficient commercial buildings of between
$0.30 and $1.80 per square foot depending on
technology and amount of energy reduction
If 50% of
buildings in
U.S Switch to
LED lighting

16.  Diffused bulbs- Spreads light out over a wider area
 Dimmable Globe bulbs- Dimmable from 100% to 10%. Consumes 10 watts
of power while emitting the same amount of light as a 40 watt incandescent
bulb
 Track Lighting- 90% more efficient than incandescent and last 50 times
longer
 Flame tip- Designed to replace Candelabra bulbs, these draw only 3.5 watts
while producing the same amount of light as a 25-35 watt incandescent bulb.
 Tube Lights- Designed to replace fluorescent tube lighting, these are
