Bootleg Lightbulbs Coming to California
The California Energy Commission in September 2010 published its 226-
page Appliance Efficiency Regulations, whereby the 100-watt incandescent light bulb will be outlawed at midnight on December 31, 2010. Imagine 100-watt incandescent light bulbs as contraband in California -- persona non gratis -- but illegal immigrants get free tuition -- amigo de bienvenida. Smuggling bootleg light bulbs into California would be a piece of cake. Just stuff them inside bales of marijuana. Or line up eight packs in the cargo bays of Greyhound buses carrying illegals on the express lane from Tijuana to any of two dozen sanctuary cities.

They may have the same average color temperature, but like white LED's, with a higher blue and UV output than incandescents, the 'warm' white color temperature, is achieved by adding red output to the phosphor until the average color temperature is about the same as an incandescent, and the eye can't discern a difference. The average is the same, but the actual spectra produced are dramatically different.

Color temperature is a quantitative measure. The higher the number in kelvins, the more blue the shade. Variations and inconsistencies exist among manufacturers. For example, some CFLs have a color temperature of 3,500 K [relatively low UV/fading], while other lamps with a daylight label have color temperatures of at least 5,000 K [higher blue/UV].

CFLs typically have a rated lifespan of between 6,000 and 15,000 hours, whereas incandescent lamps are usually manufactured to have a lifespan of 750 hours or 1,000 hours. With -either- type of bulb, longevity will be related to the line voltage and how rapidly the bulbs are off/on cycled. However, given identical voltage and cycling, CFLs are clearly superior in terms of life. It is unclear why you are having such bad luck. |

I was considering UV lights in restaurants that wash the kitchen in UV at night to combat e-coli and other germs... I guessing it's already out there. But NOT in the strength I was thinking maybe even for roach bug and rat control. Blind the rats and cook the roaches strategically place the lights to so that there are NO shaded places. And it can double as a tanning booth.... Tanned roaches with a light cream sauce sound like a delicacy...be careful not to overcook, there has to be the slightest crunch remaining..Keep the garlic butter in the frying pan just hot enough not to smoke. mike |
