HID Spotlights and Flashlights Go Green to Save the Environment

Mon Jan 7, 2008 5:08pm EST
DALLAS--(Business Wire)--The growing interest in energy conservation, global warming and
"green" environmentalism efforts have made new technologies popular.
High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights help protect the environment and
offer a wealth of additional benefits to industrial, military and
consumer markets. Due in large part to ultra bright headlights
integrated into BMW, Mercedes and other luxury automobiles, everyone
is learning about the unmatched power of HID lights. While HID
spotlights and flashlights dwarf incandescent bulbs in light output,
people may not know that they consume less than 50% of the energy of
the common light bulb. HID lights also put out far less heat than
incandescent lights. Moreover, HID lights often last several thousand
more hours than comparably specified halogen lights. This dramatically
reduces the landfill impact, since most HID lights last decades. On
the other hand, most halogen lights are treated as consumable items
and are discarded and replaced every few months.

   "On Magnalight.com, we are really seeing our sales of HID
spotlights, flood lights and flashlights sky rocket," said Rob
Bresnahan, President of Larson Electronics. "Businesses, utility
companies, soldiers and outdoorsmen want HID spotlights and HID
flashlights for high power, efficiency, and durability. There is a
very real cost of halting their efforts to find and change bulbs.
These customers seek out our Magnalight HID lights because they
realize the total cost of ownership is much lower than incandescent
halogen lights. Their goals are closely aligned with customers
concerned about 'going green,' who want to reduce energy consumption
and landfill use. As more customers react to global warming concerns,
they are starting to connect the dots, realizing that HID's attributes
deliver 'green' advantages. It's really a win-win situation for the
users of HID lights and the environment of planet Earth," concluded
Rob.

   While a significant investment is often required to "go green" and
save the environment (i.e. buying a more fuel efficient car), High
Intensity Discharge lights are a natural and easy transition.
Incandescent lights will fail over a normal course of usage, so
replacing old spotlights and flashlights with new HID powered lights
is simply a matter of being aware of the choice. You can learn more
