New Eco-friendly LED Lights Replace 75-watt Light Bulbs with 1,000 Times the Energy Efficiency: EcoLEDs.com

New online resource for eco-friendly LED lights announces a new bulb that uses a fraction of the energy of incandescent bulbs, helping reduce CO2 emissions while offering significant savings on electricity bills.

Tucson, Ariz. (PRWEB) May 15, 2007 -- Homeowners and businesses can now save up to 90 percent on their lighting bills while greatly reducing CO2 emissions, thanks to a new light bulb from EcoLEDs.com that replaces dirty, inefficient incandescent light bulbs with breakthrough LED technology that burns clean, bright and lasts 50,000 hours.

The new light, called the EcoLEDs 7x1W LED, uses only 7.7 watts of electricity and yet produces an astonishing 382 foot-candles of light on a surface from 24 inches away (a typical 75-watt light bulb produces only 21 foot-candles of light on the same surface).

Made of aluminum alloys and American-made LED components, the light isn't exactly a bulb. It's more like a spotlight, so it's useful in applications like desk lamps, recessed lighting and down lights. Switching from a 75-watt light bulb to the EcoLEDs 7-watt light saves $346 in electricity costs over the life of the bulb and reduces CO2 emissions by 6,920 pounds compared to a regular 75-watt light bulb. The light produces no IR or UV radiation, making it ideal for use in museums, medical offices and commercial applications. It also runs cool (less than 127 degrees F), making it remarkably safe for use in homes, offices, museums and other applications.

"This product represents a quantum leap in energy efficient lighting," said EcoLEDs founder Mike Adams. "It can help home and business owners slash their electricity costs by ninety percent while drastically reducing CO2 emissions," Adams said.

LED lights are also far safer for the environment than compact fluorescent lamps. All fluorescent lamps contain mercury, and there's enough mercury in a single compact fluorescent light bulb to contaminate 7,000 gallons of fresh water or turn an ordinary home into an EPA-regulated hazardous materials zone. Simply breaking one fluorescent light in your home releases enough mercury to pose a serious health hazard to an entire family.

EcoLEDs new LED lights represent a new generation of high-brightness LED lights that far exceed the luminosity of the first-generation LED lights currently being sold online. These new LED lights are bright enough to replace incandescent lights in directional lighting applications such as desk lamps, recessed lights and down lights.

The EcoLEDs 7x1W LED lights currently retail for $79 each. They can be purchased online at http://www.BetterLifeGoods.com
