www.tucsonweekly.com - Arizona Rep. Olivia Cajero-Bedford (D-27) explains her opposition to energy-efficient light bulbs They make it hard to put on makeup. “It comes down to aesthetics verses environment. Speaking for women, I think there are going to be a lot of unhappy women with these light bulbs.”
Here a new interesting experiment with the 2sgen V6 with a new coil setup fro the output. A first 20W light bulb is connected in serie with the input toroïdal coil while a 5 Watts light bulb is powered only by the demagnetization energy from the ferromagnetic core… When the 5 watts light bulb is powered there is NO CHANGE in the input power.

www.1800lighting.com Bryan Biga of Lutron Electronics explains how lighting controls add to the Green Movement by saving energy, extending bulb life and reducing heat. GREEN is everywhere you look and dimmers are an effective solution to save energy and money. Lighting controls are an very affordable way to add energy efficiency to your home.

Does anyone know what is causing this? The energy saving light bulb started to flash a couple of days ago and is now not as bright as the others. It is causing the infrared reciever light on my screen to trigger as if I am using the remote control. There is no trace of infrared coming from the broken light, I have tested it with an infra red camera. UPDATE: I have just realised that whatever is coming out of this bulb is not affected by any obstruction. I can place my whole body in front of the IR reciever and the red light still flashes! Also turn the volume up at 0:50 to hear that strange noise the camera is picking up XRAYS! AGGHHH
In the quest for a better light bulb, the latest entry uses white leds with a selection of quantum dots that give the bulb a nice warm glow. It uses 80-90% less energy than regular incandescent bulbs, and it should last 15 years. The significance? 22% of the energy consumed in this country goes to lighting.
The difference between the two bulbs is 98% worth of energy. The LED bulb will last 50000 hours compared to the standard incandescent bulbs lasting around 1000 hours, so you would have to replace 50 times anyway! 50 x bulb cost would be £75 over the £50000 hours, so buy once and pay just £30! Then think about the energy saving possibilites, run at 2 watt worth of power not 50 watt and save money every time the lights are switched on!

A few people on You-tube have done this project before, but lighting a few bulbs for a couple of minutes is not very pratical. How about charging batteries. Store the energy for later re-use. Then send the energy through loads in your house using a transfer switch..
RTI International has developed a revolutionary lighting technology that is more energy efficient than the common incandescent light bulb and does not contain mercury, making it environmentally safer than the compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb.
