What does LED stand for?a. Light Electronic Diodeb. Laser Exuded Directionallyc. Light Emitting Dioded. Lower Electricity Demand
Answera. Light Electronic Diodeb. Laser Exuded Directionallyc. Light Emitting Diode
d. Lower Electricity Demand
Early LEDs were often used as indicator lamps for electronic
devices, replacing small incandescent bulbs.
How can LED lights increase your health & safety?
a. Fewer headachesb. Fewer accidentsc. Improve your skind. A & Be. B & C
LEDs help reduce accidents in 2 ways.
First, because they don’t need to be changed as often, you spend
less time up on ladders.Second, they emit
better, more consistent light, making it easier to
see and avoid danger.
In which of these places CAN you use LEDs?
a. In hospital patient roomsb. On a farm where livestock is
housedc. In grocery store refrigerators
and freezersd. All of the above
Answera. In hospital patient roomsb. On a farm where livestock is
housedc. In grocery store refrigerators
and freezersd. All of the above
LEDs emit less heat, making them even more cost & energy
efficient in grocery store refrigerators and freezers...
Because the cooling units will also use less energy to counteract the
effects of heat coming from the lights.
LEDs are more effective & efficient for use in livestock
housing where longer hours of
lighting are needed.
The durability & reduced heat output also make LEDs safer
(no toxic materials when broken and
reduced risk of fire.)
LEDs contain NO mercury.In 2008, nearly
300 million compact fluorescent bulbs were sold, each containing
about 5mg of mercury.
When you add it up...
That’s the equivalent of 3,306 pounds of mercury, each year, in our homes,
and eventually in our landfills.
How much money could we save in energy costs
each year if the entire U.S. converted to LEDs?
a. $900 millionb. $250 billionc. $845 billiond. $16 trillion
Which lamps function at peak efficiency in
subzero temperatures?a. Metal Halideb. High Pressure Sodiumc. Light Emiting Diodesd. Induction
Fluorescent lights are designed to operate at 77°F.
At lower temps they are less efficient and
give off less light. At very low temps
they won’t start AT ALL.
Because LEDs are electronic light
instead of gas, they turn on & off
instantly, at full capacity, regardless of the temperature.
If every American home replaced 1 light bulb with 1 LED bulb,
we would save enough electricity to power how many homes
for 1 year?a. Half a million homesb. 1 million homesc. 3 million homesd. 10 million homes
By the end of 2014, which of these incandescent light bulbs will manufacturers be prohibited from making or importing?a. 100W bulbsb. 75W bulbsc. 60W bulbsd. 40W bulbse. all of the above
This is a result of the 2007 Energy Independence & Security Act, intended
to reduce our energy footprint and dependence on foreign fuel.
You might still see some of these bulbs on the store shelves, as it isn’t illegal to sell current or leftover inventory, but
over time they will all disappear.
How many incandescent light bulbs can be replaced with 1 LED bulb?a. 7 bulbsb. 14 bulbsc. 42 bulbsd. 83 bulbse. C or D.
Incandescent light bulbs last about 1,200 hours. LEDs last anywhere
between 50,000 and 100,000 hours.That means you’d have to replace your incandescent bulb between
42 & 83 times before the LED bulb burned out.
That’s a lot of bulbs.
How does more light affect a lactating dairy cow?a. She needs to eat more.b. She produces more milk.c. She’s happier.d. She is sick less often.
Answera. She needs to eat more.
b. She produces more milk.
c. She’s happier.d. She is sick less often.
When cows get 16-18 hours of light
per day, they produce
approximately 5.1 pounds more milk
per cow.LEDs cost less to run,
and last longer, making it more cost effective to keep the
lights on longer.
