Lighting is accountable for a significant portion of the world’s CO₂ production as it consumes 19 percent of all generated electricity. Electricity producers consume 65 percent of the world’s coal production which accounts for 39% of the world’s CO₂ emissions. This number is expected to climb to 43 percent by 2030 (EIA 2007). More carbon dioxide emissions are created in the US through the generation of electricity than those created by all vehicles with the average home responsible for more than twice the greenhouse emissions when compared to the average automobile.

Energy savings related to Hybrid lighting are substantial. For example, if the worlds’ installed base of 15 billion general lighting (GSL) incandescent lamps were replaced by next generation Hybrid light bulbs (45 lumens per watt), an estimated 689 Terawatt hours of energy would be saved annually. Given this amount of energy reduction, 332 million tons of coal could be saved annually resulting in a reduction of over 709 million tons of carbon dioxide emission. This is equivalent to removing 124 million cars off of the world’s streets.

Unlike compact fluorescent, Hybrid light bulbs are toxin-free and can be disposed or recycled without the risk of polluting homes, businesses or landfills with mercury. Typical Hybrid lamp life averages from 1,000 to 4,000 hours, or up to four times the life of today’s common incandescent.
