LED-LIGHTING

Shedding Light On Sustainability

LED lighting is an extremely efficient lighting option that offers several advantages over traditional bulbs:

• LEDs convert more energy directly into light instead of heat.

• LEDs have a much longer lifespan.

• LEDs use fewer toxic materials such as mercury in their production.

• LEDs are more environmentally friendly as they consume less energy.

At Lumega, we have chosen to specialize in LED lighting due to its numerous environmental benefits in relation to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

LED lighting and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals

Goal 7: Affordable and

Clean Energy

LED lighting is significantly more energy-efficient than traditional light sources such as incandescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes. This helps reduce energy consumption and, consequently, limit CO2 emissions.

Goal 9: Industry, Innovation,

and Infrastructure

LED lighting is a key component in the sustainable upgrade of existing buildings and urban environments. Retrofitting allows for upgrading older but still functional fixtures with more modern and energy-efficient technology.

Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

LED lighting is more energy-efficient than traditional lighting, reducing energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and environmental impact. By transitioning to LED lighting, cities can reduce their negative environmental footprint and promote sustainable urbanization. LED lighting can enhance illumination in public spaces and green areas, increasing their accessibility, safety, and attractiveness. By fostering the development of public spaces and green areas, LED lighting supports the creation of more sustainable and appealing cities.

Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

LED lighting has a much longer lifespan than traditional light sources and contains fewer hazardous and potentially toxic materials. This contributes to reducing the amount of waste generated and aligns with the principles of responsible consumption and production.

Goal 13: Climate Action

Due to LED lighting’s advantageous energy savings, it indirectly contributes to reducing CO2 emissions as less energy is required to illuminate the same area. Being more energy-efficient means less electricity is needed, resulting in lower CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions.
