ENERGY = http://www.lightsofamerica.com/light-cfl.htm On-the-Plus-Side - CFL's last, and Last and LAST usually about 6-Times and up to 10-Times the life of the older Incandescent Light Bulbs.

Note - Most CFLs are "Energy Star" Rated http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENERGY_STAR TIP - I personally like Lights-of-America CFLs that use the "FluoreX Technology" in their 'SunLight Bulb' which produces a Natural Spectrum Light to counter the effects of "SAD" Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Note - The Negative Ions (Anions) in the Air 'vitalize' our body as though we were in a forest, by a waterfall, or at a hot spring. A Negative Ion is often called "The Air Vitamin", because when we inhale the Negative Ions, they accelerate our metabolism, promote vitality, stabilize the nervous system, help us recover from fatigue and raise our appetite. The volume of Negative Ions per cubic centimeter (cc) in tranquil, refreshing natural areas (such as forests, hot springs, waterfalls, and oceans) amount to about 800- 2000 Ions/cc. What You Should Know About The Air You Breathe : 1. The average person breathes approximately 3,400 gallons of air each day - unfortunately much of that air is filled with contaminants, pollutants, and impurities you just can't see. 2. According to the Enviromental Protection Agency, the air inside your home can be two-to-five times more polluted than the air outside. 3. Home interior air can contain a variety of contaminants and pollutants including mold spores, pollen, bacteria, dust mites, asbestos, radon decay products, and other particles and impurities. i have seen the day-light and ion better for it ~ RHF . . . .

Note - A Coal-Fired Electric Power Plant will emit 13.6 milligrams of Mercury to produce Electricity required to use an Incandescent Light Bulb, compared to 3.3 milligrams for a CFL with the same light output.

Over their Rated Service Life they us less Mercury then the same number of Incandescent Bulbs required for that CFL's Rated Service Life period that have the same Rated Light Output : Because they use much less energy and the production of Energy results in the by product of Mercury in our Air and Water. Incandescent Bulbs use 3-4 times the Electrical Energy and thus require 3-4 times the Electrical Generation -and- When that Electricity is from a Coal-Fired Electrical Power Generation Plants Mercury Air Pollution is a by-product. . . . .

The-Bottom-Line - Compact Fluorescent Light CFL Bulbs are still better for the World's Environment then the older Incandescent Bulbs [.] I doubt it.

(OT) : Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) Bulbs -and- EnergyEffi...
When my buddy got out of active duty,U.S.Navy (U.S.S.Ticonderoga) back
in the 1960's,he worked for a couple of years in the maintnace department at the G.E.lamp plant that used to be on Highway 80 here in Jackson.The old building is still there,but some small businesses use that building nowadays.I would be over at his home visiting him and his family and sometimes some other friends would be over there.Whenever he talked about working at the old G.E.plant,the stories he told were usually about some funny humorous things that happened,things about bulbs exploding and the mercury machines.Then he went to work delivering the U.S.Mail for the U.S.P.O.More funny humoros stories. cuhulin |
