wazir Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 strictly it is illegal to sell non-pearl lamps with dissipation of 100W or greater - thus low consumption traditional lamps should still be available - possibly in short term future the lower consumption ones (eg pilot lamps in fridges etc will be replaced by LED versions I'm pretty sure they aren't called pilot lights. I think pilot lights are the ones which ignite bigger things, like the way some ovens ignite. But I know what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manshimajin Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 With all the fuss in the EU about carbon emissions and energy saving I wonder why they don't forget light bulbs and just stop moving the EU Parliament, EU Public Service and EU records back and forth every month between Brussels and Strasbourg? Wonder what the carbon footprint of doing that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombay Bad Boy Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 EU admits energy-saving bulbs are overblown These type of bulbs will not work with dimmer switches. They are, after all, just mini fluorescent tubes. Dimmable energy-saving bulbs are starting to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadget Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Are energy saving bulbs still remarkably poor at lighting rooms or have advances been made yet? You can get ones that are pretty much instant to about 80% then build up slowly from there. I actually find the best ones are from Shoprite Chester St! so all theses lights with there Mercury getting dummped in the ground or set on fire,sounds really gd for the place dont it Flourescent Lamps can be recycled. If they become more popular some kind of large-scale initiative could be setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
