How About Green Motion Sensor Lights?
May 7th, 2011The thought of using our natural resources in a responsible way is becoming a reality. It is no longer acceptable to abuse, waste, and destroy our natural resources. The planet is letting us know it is time to change.
One way we are setting this new eco-friendly mentality in motion is by using habitat lighting that turns on and off when it detects motion. Motion sensor lights may not only be a wise choice for exterior lighting; they may be a good choice for interior rooms, especially for rooms that are not used often.
Motion sensor lights automatically turn on the lights when they detect motion. They can be used in a basement, garage, stairwell, attic, porch, bathroom, laundry room, or any other room. Once the person leaves the room the lights are designed to turn off automatically. Motion sensor lighting systems ensure that lights are turned off efficiently, which makes them green, especially when high energy efficient compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs are used.
Indeed, even old electricity-sucking outdoor lighting is being replaced with more energy efficient and green motion sensor outdoor lighting alternatives. One such example of outdoor motion sensor lighting is the sensor lighting camera. Moreover, one design of the sensor lighting camera is designed to use solar power.
An excellent way to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions is to install LED motion sensor lights indoors as well as outdoors. According to the International Energy Agency one dollar invested in more efficient electrical equipment avoids a two dollar investment in electricity supply. Recent studies show that 12.5% of the global production of electricity is used for lighting.
Another way to go green is to use motion bulbs with a monitor sensor built in. These bulbs are designed to turn on automatically when persons enter a room, and turn off when they leave. CFL motion bulbs use 20 watts of electricity, but emit the equivalent of 75 watts of light.
However, given the relatively new technologies of some of the bulbs mentioned above, consumers may want to first research their options, to make sure the design of green lighting they are considering will work well for their intended purpose and/or location where the lights will be utilized.
Residents of homes can make a huge impact on the environment every day by using interior and exterior home lighting systems that are designed to be ecologically friendly. Indeed, imagine what a huge positive impact home dwellers could make on the planet, if green lighting, such as the types described above were installed in homes across the United States, as well as across the globe.
