In 2010 the UL Authority rated neon as the greenest
lighting source in the world
Neon life expectancy is 100,000 hours
but is known to work for over 30 years.
Neon is powered by a very low current measured in
1000's of an amp making it energy efficient
Neon is powered by a very low current measured in
1000's of an amp making it one of the safest forms of
power
Neon is made of natural products Glass & Atmospheric
gases we breathe in these gases
Neon is 100 % recyclable
Neon has a 360 degree light output
Neon is a continuous stream of light
Neon is made in layers giving a natural writing effect
Neon is hand crafted by Artisans
Neon power supplies come with safety switches (OCM)
which switch the power off if the neon is broken
Neon power supplies come with a power point ready to
plug into a socket.
Neon is cool to the touch, No it won’t break if you do
Neon can purchased completely covered in a Acrylic case
which are a hang & plug in model.
What about LED’s
I’ll give you the good news first.
LED bulbs are indeed energy efficient.
End of good news.!!!
The bad news is that they are not in any way a better choice than
CFLs for your health or the environment. How depressing!
LED bulbs Contain Toxic Heavy Metals
A study by the University of California Irvine found LED bulbs to be
loaded with lead, arsenic, and/or nickel. These heavy metals are used
to create the LED artificial light.
.
The high intensity red LED bulbs used in full spectrum infrared saunas
contained the most arsenic. Low intensity red lights had high amounts of
lead. White bulbs used for home lighting had lower amounts of lead but
worrisome levels of nickel.
LED light bulbs are not as fragile or likely to break in the home environment,
However, LEDs still need to be treated as hazardous waste. Broken bulbs
in landfills threaten soil and groundwater with contamination.
Similarly, anyone unfortunate enough to break a LED bulb is advised
to don a mask and gloves and sweep up the hazardous mess with a specially
made broom. The team of scientists also recommended safety gear for crews
who respond to car crashes as LED technology is utilized for car headlights
and traffic lights now.
