It would hardly be an exaggeration to state that nearly all modern, domestic lighting solutions are LEDs nowadays. Compact fluorescent lights or CFLs had a brief stint of popularity, and some external and interior flood lights are still halogens, but by and large, the majority of residential lighting is LED.
This makes perfect sense for everyone, including homeowners. LEDs are enormously energy efficient. They produce less heat than incandescent and halogen bulbs, which is safer for homeowners and keeps cooling costs down. They also use less electricity to produce light, which slashes energy costs, and they last many times longer than alternative lighting solutions too.
They’re also great for the environment since they use so little energy, and given the fact that they last so long, fewer of them end up in the trash. Even at the end of their lifecycle, LEDs are typically recyclable.
But, while the “LED” in “LED display shelf” might catch your eye if the Fancy 3-in-1 Dimmable Display Shelf with LEDs at ShopFenlo.com has your attention, there’s something else you need to know about its design.
Sustainability goes beyond the LED lighting in this unique display shelf.
FENLO, for instance, has committed to taking a sustainable approach to everything they do, including the use of raw materials and even the finish they apply to their products, such as the aforementioned LED display shelf.
Many manufacturers of domestic goods and furniture use conventional, oil-based wood finishes in the production of their goods. These finishes protect the wood from light, against the loss of moisture, and provide a lasting luster.
Unfortunately, conventional wood finishes use a wide range of harmful chemicals and solvents, such as VOCs, or volatile organic compounds (like formaldehyde), that are toxic, and harmful to both people and the environment.
These finishes are not only potentially harmful to your health, the health of your loved ones, and the environment; their application also consumes a considerable amount of energy, which is wasteful, unsustainable, and compounds the environmental harm they cause.
Instead, FENLO’s LED display shelf (like their other display shelves and lamps) is finished with a UV coating, in which ultraviolet light is applied to the surface of the wood in order to cure and protect it.
FENLO’s UV coating uses no solvents, effectively no VOCs, and most importantly, is effective and long-lasting.
UV coatings result in a beautiful, clear luster that is exceptionally durable and long-lasting, and which protects the surface of the wood against, water, dirt, oil, dust and so much more.
It is practical, low-maintenance, and aesthetically pleasing, and since it uses no solvents or chemicals, and uses very little energy, is much more environmentally friendly.
This is just another reason that FENLO’s products – like its LED display shelf that uses such little electricity to provide soft, warm lighting – are sustainably produced with keen attention to overall environmental-friendless.
