Learn the Language~ Lumen/s Conversion* The following have equal Lumen Output: 1.Incandescent/Halogen 40 to 60 watts 2. Mercury Vapor 15 to 25 watts 3. Metal Halide 5 to 25 watts 4. High Pressure Sodium 5 to 15 watts 5. Compact Flourescent (CFL) 12 to 15 watts 6. Light Emitting Diode (LED) 5 to 8 watts A 5 watt LED bulb will be as bright as a 40 watt Incandescent bulb, with very minimal heat dispersed into the atmosphere* Assuming 10 bulbs 24 Hours* Equal Lumens: 1. Incandescent 40 watts PHP 9.6/day PHP 3,504/year 12 Hours - PHP 1,752/year 2. CFL 12 watts PHP 2.88/day PHP 1,501.20/year 12 Hours - PHP 525.6/year 3. LED 5 watts PHP 1.20/day PHP 438/year 12 Hours - PHP 219/year Pricepoint per bulb* Entry Level - Average: 1. Incandescent 40 watts = PHP 80 to 100 2. CFL 12 watts = PHP 80 to 120 3. LED 5 watts = PHP 100 to 150 Toxicity* Mercury Hazard: 1. Incandescent Absolutely Toxic 2. CFL 30,000 Pounds/Year In the USA alone 3. LED 0% Toxicity Only 4mg of Mercury needed- To contaminate 7,000 gallons of water* All about Mercury: Mercury (also called quicksilver) is a heavy, silvery transition metal most commonly found in thermometers, barometers, and other scientific apparatus. It is used in the electrical industry and in laboratory and medical instruments. Mercury is a known neurotoxin, and elevated blood mercury levels may lead to retardation and deformities in children. Chest pains, dyspnea, coughing, hemoptysis, and sometimes interstitial pneumonitis leading to death may follow acute inhalation exposure to mercury vapor. In America, 1 in 6 children born every year have been exposed to mercury levels so high that they are potentially at risk for learning disabilities, motor skill impairment and short-term memory loss. LEDs dont generate RF wavelengths that cause radio interference, or emit ultraviolet (UV) light, so LEDs will not readily attract bugs and other insects* Conclusion: Convert to LED. LED saves a lot of money. LED helps save the world. Sidenote: When OLED becomes affordable, Convert to OLED. Please pass and share. Thank you.
