Ridgefield's Christmas lights go green
The bare trees that line the sidewalk in the center of town are decked out for the season, their branches filled with hundreds of holiday lights.It was the erstwhile Left Front board that first decided to modernize streetlights fluorescent lights on some major thoroughfares. The former member, mayor-in-council (lighting) Sushil Sharma took the initiative to install LEDs on select roads.Utilizing patented design and patent led lights pending Selective Heat Sink Technology for an innovative approach to thermal management, our Array lamps use an array of low power,
The trees will stay that way through the New Year and January, adding a mellow glow to downtown.
Along with the cheer they bring, the lights can also warm the coldest hearts of budget hawks by saving the towns lots of money.
As of this year,20 percent of the world's current energy resources are used to power lighting. Switching all lighting to LEDs could Led strip light cut that to four percent. The low energy consumption of LED bulbs translates into producing 90 percent less carbon dioxide per household annually compared to incandescents, the town's lighting displays are all LEDs -- light-emitting diodes. They last for many seasons, and they're extremely energy efficient.
"It's cutting the cost of lighting for Christmas from $9,More than 425 million led downlights 60W incandescent bulbs are sold each year in the US, representing about 40% of the market for light bulbs.000 to $300 a year,The company unveiled its one millionth bulb today led bulb – an “ultra efficient” omnidirectional LED A19 bulb that offers an 850 lumen output and should last almost 23 years'' said First Selectman Rudy Marconi. "It's incredible."
Marconi said the town began discussing LED lighting with representatives of Northeast Utilities a few years ago. In 2008, when the town budget took a hard hit from the national recession, LEDs made even more sense.
