The Latest 2015 GU10 LED Bulbs in UK

Using the latest LED technology we are now able to offer true 50W replacement GU10 LED Bulbs that consume a fraction of the energy.  While old fashioned incandescent light bulbs passed electricity through a filament, LEDs produce light through the use of a semi-conductor that emits light energy when an electrical current is passed through it. This way of producing light is also different from regular energy-saver bulbs, which pass energy through mercury vapour to create UV light, which is then absorbed by a phosphor coating inside the lamp, causing it to glow.

I got a bit annoyed with my friend for turning on 10 LED light bulbs (the type with the beehive light surface which heat up a lot) half an hour before the landlord was supposed to come and show the apartment, I told her that there was no need to go to such extremes, the lights could be turned on when the people rang the doorbell…she got all upset, started getting agitated & eventually compared the consumption from all those lights to the consumption from my laptop being on most of the day!

In other green tech news, lighting company Philips announced it will begin selling the most affordable LED light bulb ever , with a retail price of just $5 for a two-pack, and solar lantern company SolarPuff launched a Kickstarter to raise funds for its ingenious portable solar lanterns The Finnish company Solar Fire Concentration has launched a campaign to build solar concentrators around the world , which use solar thermal devices to power stoves.

Don't get me started on this one, all very well if you have the option and money to burn, but we have to use the old style 40w opal golf ball bulbs for our business, so we went around all our suppliers buying in bulk before it became more difficult to get hold of them, we now have several hundred in stock so should last us for quite some time, at least until the alternatives become cheaper and less hideous.

Inefficient fluorescent tube and tray lighting is an all-too-familiar sight in offices, retail units, schools and hospitals alike - and has become the antiquated norm in non-domestic buildings across the UK. However, with electricity prices continuing to rise and carbon reduction targets demanding a cut in emissions across the board, these buildings are under increasing pressure to upgrade their outdated and wasteful lighting systems.
