Incredible data from @BloombergNEF and team here; an industry we're proud to participate in.
LEDs reduce waste heat by 80%+ even versus fluorescent, so commercial adoption of LEDs will also help moderate growth in cooling-related electricity demand.
Improvements in lighting technology mean that:
*⃣The world now uses less electricity for 💡 than for cooling
💡 The world now uses less 🔌 for 💡than for low-temperature heating
💡US households use less 🔌for 💡than for its fridges and dryers

Michael Hennessy knows small changes can yield big results. His lightbulb moment is truly a bright idea: save energy by switching the lights in New York City to LED. Now @wavelengthlight is making the city a brighter place. #Grist50 grist.org/grist-50/2020/#mic…
