Starbucks Switches to LED Lighting

Brian Yalung — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:33:32 +0000

Starbucks has been known to take its own initiative as far as being eco-friendly is concerned and apparently this development should be considered the big switch. Over 8,000 stores will now be lit up by LED lighting which many may see as a great initiative to save on some energy costs and of course preach LED light alternatives.

The LED light swap will cut energy consumption by about 7% at each store, and is part of the company’s goal to cut total energy consumption by 25% by the end of 2010. With a company this size, there are a lot of ways the carbon footprint can be cut down inexpensively.

Super Bowl 2009 Was Green (Well, Sort Of)

Missy — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 22:59:00 +0000

I’m not sure why there wasn’t much press on the fact that the Superbowl made an attempt to be green this year.

As the New York Times reports, this year the Superbowl initiated several eco-friendly changes to game day.

Some of the changes included:

a composting program
the use of biodegradable plates forks straws and napkins
new LED lighting displays
the recycling of cooking grease.

Surely these subtle changes and or additions don’t put the Superbowl on any “Top 10 Eco friendly Event” list, but just the fact that they are being cognizant of how HUGE this event is in terms of energy usage and resources, means they are headed in a solid direction.

And every bit helps.

The common thing you would hear most LCD monitor manufacturers would brag about being eco-friendly is the power consumption and also the processes of manufacturing their product.

The Big Apple has come a long way since those nasty days of the 1970’s and 1980’s now there are car free zones and the plastic bag tax, but one thing that could be significant is the testing of new LED street light, if this is successful then the cities thirty thousand street could be replaced by them.

These lights will cut the cities power usage by around thirty per cent; these savings would mean that the city would see a return on their investment within two to three years. Should these lights get the go ahead then is possible that other lighting could be applied to the units, such as traffic and crossing control.

Wind Powered Lighting

David Allen — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 16:00:54 +0000

This is nice idea where wind power can be used to power seasonal lighting, these lights are only tiny LED builds, but they use a small 2.4 inch propeller, which is very similar to one of those that children play with.

The lights stand on pole and because of the way, that propeller is made it only takes the smallest breeze to get the thing moving and begin to produce light. However, what is great about these is that they can be used in large groups to produce a spectacular design that does not use any power at all, excellent!

Here is an event that is bound to gain attention. A 16ft light bulb float is touring Liverpool on a low emission truck and all carbon emissions will be offset to highlight and encourage customers to use energy saving light bulbs. They are giving away three million energy-saving lightbulbs at Gala Bingo club and Sue Ryder shops across the country.

If the effort pays off, a large amount of savings that can reach up to more than £11m off their energy bills every year, saving 39,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Can be achieved.

The best part is that if you happen to land one bulb that lights up green, you can get the chance to win either a Toyota Prius or £1,000 to spend at the Southern Electric online store. How is that for a promotional gimmick?

Matsushita Develops Eco-Friendly Lamp

Brian Yalung — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 04:20:06 +0000

In the world of electronics, don’t be surprised to find established companies such as Matsushita Electric Works to unveil new concepts and designs in their fold. The latest news is that they have discovered an eco-friendly lamp that does not use mercury or gas-discharging process.

Brighter lights but using lesser electricity is what the people need today and for this eco-friendly lamp that has been developed by Matsushita, a lot of consumers are sure to want it in their homes.

Japan’s Matsushita Electric Works Ltd. said Tuesday it had developed a fluorescent lamp that does not use mercury or a gas-discharging process.

The environmentally friendly device, which uses processed silicon, could be 50 percent brighter than a conventional fluorescent lamp while consuming the same amount of electricity, the company said in a statement.

Conventional fluorescent lamps use mercury for discharging gas to allow a phosphor to light up.

The 8w bulb that’s like a 60w bulb!

David Allen — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:00:22 +0000

Lighting has to be one of the areas where power is mainly used and of course wasted, because we see lights on in houses, stores, factories and offices, in some cases they are running 24/7. So when a light bulb comes along which is only an 8 watt but actually replaces a 60 watt light bulb then maybe there would some interest in it, wouldn’t you think?

The Geobulb is just that and indeed there is going to some serious interest in this as it should last around forty times that of a normal light bulb, the only turn off is the price tag of $120!

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS:

A TV remote with no batteries

David Allen — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 14:00:01 +0000

At last there is hope for anyone who has found that just at the time when you need to turn the TV over the batteries are run down, leaving you with a bit of a predicament. This is the dream device for all guys as they are the ones who think that it is the end of the world the remote fail to work properly.

This is the No Battery Remote Control by the SMK Corp. it works on the principal similar to one of those toy ray guns, where the user squeezed the trigger a few times and it began to light up the lights and make futuristic sounds. This RC has a similar mechanism which is enough to power the RC for a few changes of channel and maybe even volume control too. It’s a prototype at the moment, but it has to be the best green TV remote around.

DIY – How to Build an LED USB CD Lamp!

max — Thu, 29 May 2008 16:48:28 +0000

If you ever wanted to make use of your old CDs and also keep the earth more sustainable, you can check out this DIY on how to build your own LED USB CD Lamp, all made from stuff you’d call junk. FYI, LEDs use 50+ times less power than your regular old CFL lights. (That’s right, CFL bulbs are old already, we need LEDs…)

The USB powered LED CD lamp is a very useful gadget. It’s powered by the USB port, so you don’t need any external power supply. The stiff mounting wire, I used acts as a gooseneck and lets you bend the light source in different angles and directions.

Solar powered wall lights

David Allen — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 17:00:30 +0000

These lights are great for outside where it is difficult to wire up an electric light which is so awkward and time consuming, whereas these lights can be fixed into place and that is that.

But unlike some types of solar powered light these look like those electric ones, they contain two LED’s and a when they have been fully charged up, they will then provide up to six hours of light, which would be enough for most of the night.

Priced at $29.95 for two.

This takes dressing for work to a new level, this is a dress made up of around 448 circuit boards each with its own solar cell, LED or photo cell, there is also a control board and USB ports, and essentially it is a computer that you wear.

Future directions:

Experimenting with different interconnections (ring sizes & materials) and final shapes

Adding new electronic components (GPS, OLED, accelerometer)

Adding a “brain board” adjacent to the existing control board to allow programmability by third parties

Updating micro-controller code wirelessly

Publishing complete source code, schematics, board layouts, test software, assembly techniques

Enhancing testing/sequencing software (MAX, Flash, Java)

Applying techniques and methodology learned to new materials and processes

U.S. Bans Incandescent Light Bulbs

Missy — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 18:28:41 +0000

President George Bush recently signed into law, the banning of incandescent lightbulbs.

The energy-friendly LED, Halogen, and CFL, are what they are to be replaced with. These are pricier (by a few dollars) but they also last much much longer and they will also save you moola in annual energy bills.

The incandescent lightbulbs are to be phased out over the next 10 to 12 years and no longer to be used. A tall task since Americans have been using the incandescents for over 125 years. But very doable.

I have found some inexpensive CFL’s at my local Walmart, they go for about $10 for a pack of 2 or 3. Their wattage is set up a bit differently too, a 13 watt CFL equals the same ouput as a traditional 60 watt incandescent. So look for the 13 watt packages.
