BINAY OPTO’s SOLID-STATE LED LIGHTING ‘ECO-LOGICAL’ SYSTEM
The True Costs of Energy Production and Total Cost of Ownership
At first glance LEDs many appear to be just another light source. The real story is far more than simple lumens and watts. BINAY’s solid-state fixture products are all about being green – in partnership with the environment.

LEDs significantly lower energy consumption with many positive environmental impacts, including:
° Reduced CO2 emission – 0.7 kilograms for each KWH saved.
° Reduction of mercury by .023 grams for each KWH saved (Coal to Electric).
° Reduced hazardous waste including nuclear and chemical by-products.
° Lower dependence on imported energy resources.
° Less demand to create and exploit new energy extraction sites.
° Up to 25% of the energy used in most commercial environments is used to cool the heat dissipation from lighting.

The LED Composite Effect – Beyond Energy Use

Looking beyond energy use, LEDs may still be the best light source for an application even when they do not necessarily provide the highest lumens per watt. LEDs produce range of advantages which add up to a superior solution. These include:

° Directed light output produces efficient illumination on a target surface
° Independent color and intensity control
° Virtually no heat in the lighted pattern
° Compact source and fixture packaging
° Long service life resulting in virtually no maintenance
° No mercury content requiring control or disposal

When combined with potential energy savings, solid-state lighting provides a powerful total cost of ownership value package that conventional sources and even compact fluorescent lighting (CFL) cannot match
