From Los Angeles to Mongolia, LED light bulbs continue to make a major international impact

You may ask yourselves why our experts here at Ryness Lighting and Electrical (http://www.ryness.co.uk) constantly wax lyrical about LED light bulbs. Why can’t we just leave you alone with your traditional incandescent light bulbs? Well, the fact that those bulbs are slowly being phased out by the EU is certainly one compelling reason, as is the incredible energy efficiency and longevity of LED units.

But we aren’t going to keep on talking about those same old advantages of LED light bulbs. Instead, we’re going to introduce you to some more of the ways in which major cities around the world are continuing to make them pay, in style.

Just consider, for example, Los Angeles. The very mention of California’s most populous city – and the second most populous in the United States - conjures up images of so many of your favourite pop stars and big screen actors, what with it being the home of Hollywood. To call L.A. glamorous doesn’t even begin to describe the City of Angels.

So, what does this enthralling global city have to do with LED light bulbs? Well, it recently carried out a major retrofit project involving LED street lights. The result was a reduction in the city’s energy use of more than two thirds, millions of taxpayer dollars saved and a reduction in the city’s annual carbon emissions of more than 47,000 metric tons.

Or what about a place where the Pitts and Clooneys of this world may be slightly less likely to be spotted by avid paparazzi – The Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar? The city, befitting its status as the country’s cultural, industrial and financial heart, shares with many others around the world an iconic central square. 

Sukhbaatar Square owes its name to one of the leaders of Mongolia’s 1921 revolution, Damdin Sukhbaatar, who is commemorated with an equestrian statue directly in front of the stunning Neoclassical-style Saaral Ordon (Government Palace). Fronting this building, which was built in 1951 on the site of the Green Domed Theater, is a large colonnade monument to Genghis Khan, Ogedei Khan and Kublai Khan.

Sukhbaatar Square is definitely surrounded by no shortage of impressive buildings, including not only the Government Palace but also the likes of the Ulaanbaatar City Governor’s Office, State Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet and Central Cultural Palace (CCP). Now, they can be all the better appreciated at less expense to the city, thanks to the widespread installation of LED light bulbs.

The official ceremony to turn on the lights took place on 22^nd June, and further lights are to be placed around the area over the coming months, including 11 around the CCP. But for the Ulaanbaatar powers-that-be, the advantages of the new LED light bulbs are already clear.

Much the same should be said for you! Here at Ryness Lighting and Electrical (http://www.ryness.co.uk), we stock a generous selection of LED light bulbs, both in store and online – so why wait to peruse them?
