How Green is Arani?
The positive impact of LED's
For Earth Day, we'd like to take a closer look at the effects of an LED business in terms of environment and energy consumption. To start, LED lights are more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent lights, which means that they use less energy and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions. This in turn reduces the carbon footprint of households, businesses and commercial spaces, helping to mitigate climate change.
In addition to being energy-efficient, LED lights also have a longer lifespan than traditional incandescent lights, meaning that they need to be replaced less often. This reduces the amount of waste generated from discarded light bulbs, which can take years to decompose in landfills.
Energy consumption comparison between traditional incandescent bulbs and LEDs
The average energy consumption in a house in North America per year can vary depending on factors such as the size of the home, the region, the climate, and the energy efficiency measures taken. However, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the average annual electricity consumption for a residential utility customer in the United States was 9,190 kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2020, which is equivalent to an average of 766 kWh per month.
Keep in mind that this figure only accounts for electricity usage and doesn't include other forms of energy consumption, such as natural gas or propane for heating, which can also vary depending on the factors mentioned above.
Now let's replace the lights in this scenario with LED lights. If all the lights in a house in North America were replaced with LED lights, the average energy consumption would be significantly lower than if the house used traditional incandescent bulbs. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, LED lights use 75-80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and can last up to 25 times longer.
Assuming that all the lights in the house are replaced with LED lights, the average annual electricity consumption for a residential utility customer in the United States could be reduced to around 5,000-6,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year. This is only an estimate, as energy consumption can still vary based on other factors like the size of the home, the number of occupants, and energy-efficient appliances and practices. However, it's clear that switching to LED lights can significantly reduce a household's energy consumption and save money on utility bills.
Environmental responsibility is important to us at Arani
Environmental responsibility is important to us as a brand and is at the core of why Sean Arani created Arani. When asked about the inspiration for his career route, he replied; “With LED technology, I knew that I could help reduce the planet's environmental footprint while growing in a rapidly evolving and futuristic marketplace”.
Overall, being an LED company plays an important role in promoting sustainability and reducing the impact of human activity on the environment, making Earth Day an especially relevant occasion to showcase the company's commitment to protecting the planet.
