Street light bulbs!

ENVIRONMENT , LAMPS , filament

Even in a post from July of the project spoke to ban incandescent bulbs from the market, proposed by many environmental groups and some manufacturer of lamps (see Philips). Friday, December 7, passed in the House Budget Committee the proposal made by the Greens to eliminate by 2011 incandescent and energy-consuming appliances (ie not prepared for a rationalization of energy consumption).
More than once I have described Luxemozione on the principles of operation of incandescent lamps (light bulbs) and how they have a luminous efficiency very low: only a small percentage of absorbed energy is converted into light (the rest into heat). From what we read on the site of Corriere della Sera , which also offers a survey, "this ban, the decision in line with other EU countries, will save 5.6 billion kWh and reduce CO2 emissions by three million tons.
E 'but just' do at this point thinking it is true that the replacement of the park in full light bulbs with other efficiency improvements will save us a lot of money into energy, but speak of what are now alternatives to lamp: energy saving lamps? LEDs? Surely sources characterized by a 'high luminous efficiency, but by poor light: first, the market for years now, do not compare favorably with the better light bulbs, LEDs today are not even comparable, certainly represent the future not only for lighting, but both are still very immature in terms of quality of light, both in terms of cost of sales, both domestic and non-applicability. Is certainly true that even before 2011 (date to roll over then a lot of times), given the speed of development of LED technology or O-LED, the laboratories of Philips or some other company will come out a product that can replace with dignity and good old incandescent lamp.
Hopefully!

    cabbage! I never imagined the quality of light bulbs to energy saving was lower at this point ... we can only hope ... (it would be good "in Father nataale) Keep us informed!

    Watch ... incandescent lamps as light quality are now unbeatable color rendering (color rendering Ra) on a scale from 1 to 100 for the incandescent (including halogen) is 100. x-saving energy sources, which are nothing but compact fluorescent lamps have a color rendering index Ra = 82 which translates in practical terms means a poor color rendering (+ colors dull and not faithful)

    Lamps such as fluorescent or energy saving, in fact, also contain mercury, which is the most toxic substance to humans, after those radioactive. So I think that we are facing the nth mega scam.

    Well, compact fluorescent bulbs are not all alike! Those that dampen the colors are those that emit white light, while there are others that have the same efeftot incandescent bulbs, that same yellow glow! I am in my room I have a compact fluorescent bulb yellow light from about 25 W which makes for an incandescent lamp of 120 W for both amount of light quality! Well maybe it takes a 30 seconds to warm up but they have already invented the light bulb warmed immediately! ;-)

    Perhaps you're referring to ... well Beghelli lamp lights immediately 'but a simple trick hehe
    It has double source inside, and fluorescent bulbs: at the incandescent lights (halogen) and then the fluo. Hence the name Beghelli duo
