Carbon neutral lights

ilighting_logo_smiLighting's already environmentally-friendly lights just got greener. iLighting Global Enterprise Company Ltd has agreed to offset some of their carbon emissions from manufacturing their lights with us.

Whilst changing our old lights to more energy efficient ones does lead to emissions from the manufacture of the new products, the energy saving over the lifetime of the lights makes up for it and now some of these manufacturing emissions are offset too.

The company also makes LED lighting that has the additional benefit that they don't contain mercury, a toxic metal found in fluorescent tubes and compact fluorescent bulbs that usually ends up in Hong Kong landfills when the lights reach the end of their life.
