I simply do not believe LED One's claim lighting is 17%, apparently based on an all tungsten world, nor that electricity is 50% of emissions.
Electricity comes out at 50% only when the category is "Electricity and heating" [1], usually it comes in at 20-30% depending on country. A lobby group promoting adoption of LED lighting in 2006 while all domestic use was still tungsten claims 6% is lighting[2]. Post LED adoption, perhaps 0.5-1%. Does anyone still use tungsten aside from some specialised use given LED bulbs are down to tungsten prices?
It appears to be a small enough percentage I can't find anywhere picking out lighting individually.
