Innovative Green Technologies in Vancouver, Canada

The rise in environmental consciousness has grown exponentially and is now solidified into private and public institutions globally. Legislated environmental protections and incentives, like the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act and Federal Pesticides Act are now the law of the land and have joined with local programs of protection and green development.

As individual consumers, businesses and manufacturers, our environmental consciousness is alerted to the need for developing sustainable products and materials and making sustainable choices when we buy. Consumers now seek companies that demonstrate environmental sustainability in their product offerings, and this demand has brought forth eco-friendly products that are also high functioning, technologically progressive, and cost effective.

Lighting distributors like Canadian owned and operated Sureway International are leading the way with a full range of offerings that satisfy the need for ecological sustainability, quality craftsmanship and cost effectiveness.  Green is good business.

The Green Light on Green Lighting

The switch from standard lighting to eco-friendly lighting products also makes good economic sense and that’s the definition of a win/win situation. For instance, up to as much as 50% of energy from standard lighting is wasted through heat emanation from bulbs that also burn out in short order. Not only is standard lighting an energy drain that increases the carbon footprint, but it costs more to use less usable energy for lighting, not to mention replacement costs both long and short term. This makes no kind of sense at all.

Green Design Innovation

Innovations in design that incorporate new eco-technology with cost effectiveness are the most relevant for current use. A full range of lighting products have been innovated for use and can replace any type of standard use lighting product. Sustainable products include everything from compact fluorescent  full spectrum fluorescent sustainable energy efficient fixtures, High Intensity Discharge lamps, LEDs to all types of Halogens.

Compact Fluorescent and Full Spectrum Fluorescent

The new eco-fluorescent now use up to 70% less toxic Mercury than the previous standard fluorescent, Full spectrum fluorescent mimic natural light and help alleviate Seasonal Effective Disorder as well as headaches and eyestrain on the job. These eco-full spectrum fluorescent deliver up to 40,000 hours of light.

Compact fluorescent are designed to replace incandescent bulbs in everything from table lamps to any kind of screw-in bulb fixture. They offer a 75% savings over a typical incandescent bulb while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They are the new light bulb.

LED's for Long Life

LED lights are designed without filaments or gases as in incandescent and fluorescent lights so they don’t actually burn out, they fade away. After a long period of time the lighting diodes within the LED light just emit a lower and lower energy output. The life of an LED bulb is incredibly long, which means up to 11 years of uninterrupted function with very little energy use – up to a 90% energy efficiency rate.

Use Less Energy with Halogens

Halogen lights have a white, bright quality and offer a great variety in design options for multiple uses. The Halogen uses 20% less energy than incandescent and are extremely versatile, from small spotlights for art to large security flood lights.
