The quite arrival of LED lights

According to the report of New York, the city has replaced all of its street lights with LED lights from October 23^rd 2013, which would save $70000 and nearly 248000 kilowatt-hours a year in energy.

With the wide application of LED lights in recent years, many traditional fluorescent lights and incandescent light bulbs gradually withdraw from the market. Standard lights only last 6 years, but LED light has longer lifespan and even can be used for more than 20 years. The replacement project has saved a lot of money for taxpayers both in equipment and labor costs replacing lights.

But we have to remember that this is for New York City, cities across America have switched their old lights to LED lights. For example, LA has changed its all of street lights for LED light bulbs, which will save $10000000 per year in energy costs.

LED lights are energy-saving and environmental protection lighting equipment. First, it will not create ultraviolet ray and infrared ray, and the lighting is very soft and does no harm to our eyes. What’s more, its lower power consumption and high light transmission make it suited for different places.

But one question confused me is why so many countries still have been insist to use fluorescent lights and incandescent light bulbs. LED lights are fundamentally changing how much it costs to light up our city streets throughout this country and around the world.

In the future, we should continue to improve LED lights design technology. We also hope that all countries will work together for the energy saving. The LED lights not only can save energy but also save economic cost, which will certainly attract more countries to use it.
