I don't like fluorescent light bulbs.From now on when I go to the food store,I am going to start stocking up on good old G.E.Real Incandescent Light Bulbs,the 60 Watters.I am going to clean off the top shelves in the closets in my house and stack em up in cardboard boxes.When fed govt starts shoving fluorescent light bulbs (so-called light bulbs) down everybodys throats,I will still be wasteing my electricity that I pay for on my good old G.E.Real Incandscent 60 WATT LIGHT BULBS. cuhulin,the Electricity Waster dude.Waste Mo Electricity,you can't take it with you |

Couldn't resist the opportunity so I swapped out most of the bulbs. What a difference - because they are so much more efficient they consume 1/4 the energy for an equivalent amount of light from an incandescent bulb. The color temperature is very close to incandescent too. And for SWL's concerned about noise, the only time I pick up any noise from one is to move the radio to within 5 inches of the light. Did you know that even though CFL's contain a very small amount of mercury that they actually release less mercury into the atmosphere than an incandescent. That is possible because much of our power comes from burned coal which releases large amounts of mercury into the air. Indeed if you were to break all of the mercury CFL bulbs the total amount of mercury released including the amount of mercury used in power generation would be far less than that released by incandescent. |

An NPR program characterized the amount as something like 5 miligrams...the size of the tip of a ball point pen. The amount of mercury not spewed into the atmosphere by buring coal makes the risk of a few bulbs breaking and the cost of recycling a more than reasonable tradeoff in my mind. The CFL's I have seen do not have a incandescent bulb spectrum but like most florescent bulbs tint toward blue. Actually the newer ones are colored slightly warm to come close to incandescent bulbs. The color in degrees kelvin is 2700 for the GE and comparable helical style bulbs. GE and other companies do make cooler bulbs. The older style bulbs were definitely on the cold side giving ones face a corpse-like color! It would cost more money for the inside bulb coating and also reduce the efficiency of the bulb for a CFL to generate a redder spectrum. Don't know how they do it, but the current group of bulbs is right in there with incandescents for color temperature. Indeed I swapped 10 of them out and told my wife I'd improved on the lighting but didn't say how. She couldn't see a difference. What did you pay for the bulbs? $1.00 a piece at the local grocery on Earth Day. Shop around a bit and you can find them in packages for a cost of $2.50 per bulb. Another question is how did you determine that they only disturb the radio from 5 inches away? The problem with this technology is that the power spectrum they broadcast is diverse with more power on some frequencies. You would need a spectrum analyzer to determine this with any certainty. Tuning around and listening gets me close enough to certainty. If I can't hear it and it doesn't disturb listening them it isn't a problem. The greatest noise was on the AM band and it disappears within 10 inches of the bulb. |

The amount of mercury not spewed into the atmosphere by buring coal makes the risk of a few bulbs breaking and the cost of recycling a more than reasonable tradeoff in my mind. However, that mercury is being spewed into the atmosphere in China where the bulbs are apparently all made. Additionally, if one breaks in your home, it can cost up to $2300 to actually clean the place up due to the mercury, this was also I think pointed out on NPR or perhaps another network. I can imagine that once the bulbs are more commonplace that a real estate sale might just include testing for mercury and cleanup of any possible contamination prior to sale. Overall, I see it as a no win situation, and plan to stock up on incandescents. F**K you, Al Gore, you mentally ill idiot. Oh well, the Preakness is about to run.

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 . . . .
