| Let There Be Light... with LED |

LED lighting has a rapid payback period when considering all of its benefits in comparison with older lighting technology.
Facts to consider are:
- LEDs are 100% recyclable. Unlike fluorescent counterparts and high intensity discharge (HID) technologies.
- LEDs contain no toxic materials, hazardous mercury, or halogen gases.
- LEDs emit no ultraviolet (UV) rays or infrared (IR) radiation. Unlike compact fluorescent, LEDs do not require a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or hazardous waste disposal.
- Retrofitting to LED's creates energy efficiencies, reducing our carbon footprint—the impact of human activities regarding the amount of greenhouse gases produced.
- Compact fluorescent light bulbs contain aremarkable amount of toxic mercury - 4mgto 6mg per bulb.
- Fluorescent light tubes contain approximately 20mg of mercury per tube.
- Each 4mg of mercury can contaminate 6,000 gallons of fresh water.
- In the USA, if bulbs were replaced with LED equivalents nearly six tons of Mercury would disappear out of the system in a very short time.
- Mercury can prove harmful to developing children; according to the National Academy of Sciences, over 60,000 children are born each year at risk from adverse Neurodevelopmental effects following exposure to mercury.
- LEDs do not use ballasts which produce harmonic noise—or “hum.”
- Our LED lights will last up to 11 years or more!
- You will save you 50% to 90% on your electric lighting bill
