CFLs- Compact Fluorescent Lights | ecogreentips.com
2008-02-13 04:42:00 CFLs- Compact Fluorescent Lights ecogreentips.com: "if every American household replaced just one incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent one, enough energy would be conserved to provide light for more than 3 million homes a year and $600 million in annual energy cost would be saved. Moreover, we would prevent greenhouse gasses equivalent to the emission of 800,000 cars!"Link

Words of Welcome: Time to Change the Light Bulb
2008-02-10 18:26:00 Words of Welcome: Time to Change the Light Bulb: "In the beginning of time, you had the sun ? not bad during the daytime ? and then there was the moon ? it gives off some light, but it?s pretty limited. In time somebody discovered fire, and fire helps a lot. Over time the campfire gave way to the candle, and the candle to the lamp. Every advancement in lighting made living in-doors and going about at night just a bit easier. Then came the biggest revolution in lighting history. Back in the 19th century somebody figured out how to hook up lights to electricity and everything changed. Even though he wasn?t the first to come up with the idea of the incandescent bulb, a guy named Thomas Edison came up with a long lasting filament and history was made. In fact, his idea worked so well that we?re essentially using the same technology today as we were in 1880. Edison?s invention has been a great success, and we give thanks for it every time the lights go out and then come back on. There?s ... More About: Words , Light Bulb

Since then, that basic design has remained the most popular way to light homes"Link
CFL - Compact Fluorescent Lamp
2008-02-10 18:23:00 CFL - Compact Fluorescent Lamp : "Compact fluorescent lamp or CFL also known as a compact fluorescent light bulb. Fluorescent light bulbs are more energy-efficient than regular bulbs. CFL save energy and money. They use 70% less electricity than regular light bulbs. This means that you can buy a 15-watt compact fluorescent bulb that produces the same amount of light as a 60-watt regular incandescent bulb. They also give off the same kind of light quality as regular bulbs."Link

It has been reported that around 9% of a households energy costs come through lighting the home. Many of us have already converted our incandescent light bulbs to the more energy efficient compact fluorescents (CFL). However as technological advances occur new forms of lighting are becoming more readily available and affordable.One such technology is the light emitting diode (LED). Although they have been around for many years in household appliances they are only now reaching a point where they can produce enough light for household and commercial lighting. LED lamps last 25 - 55 times longer than incandescent lamps and their high-efficiency can lead to savings of 70% - 90% in power consumption.Some of the ad... More About: Step , Efficient

Lighter Footstep - How to live with CFLs
2008-02-05 08:16:00 Lighter Footstep - How to live with CFLs: "By now, we've all heard the benefits of compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). Consuming roughly 30 percent of the power required for a similar incandescent bulb, CFLs are a no-brainer way to reduce home energy bills and slash greenhouse gas emissions.Australia says it will be the first nation to adopt lighting energy standards which effectively ban traditional bulbs, and there are plenty of other initiatives to do the same elsewhere. The CFL is here to stay. In fact, it's heading your way faster than anyone expected.So how are we all going to make the switch? While you can find a CFL to fit most light fixtures these days, it's a mistake to think they're directly equivalent to incandescent bulbs. Like most things, CFLs present us with a series of trade-offs. You'll have to do some thinking if you'd like to enjoy the energy saving benefits of CFLs without being surprised by their little quirks.Lighter Footstep has put together a quick guid...

How to Dispose of CFLs (Without Dumping Mercury Everywhere) | snarfd
2008-02-05 08:12:00 nking tipsHow to Dispose of CFLs (Without Dumping Mercury Everywhere)Probably the best place to start is with whoever currently picks up your household trash or recyclables. If you pay for this service, you’ll almost certainly find a customer service number on your bill. Give them a call and ask if they offer CFL or mercury recycling. If not, politely suggest they do so. Here’s an opportunity to write a letter, attend a meeting, or take some other activist role in highlighting the importance of proper CFL disposal. The appropriate follow-up will depend on whether your trash service is privately or publicly held.Municipal GovernmentWhether or not local trash service is provided by a private contractor, your local municipality (city, county, or parish) is ultimately responsible for waste disposal.Most phone directories have a “blue pages” directory of local government agencies. Try the listing for sanitation services. While curbside recycling is by no means universal, your are...

For rooms where entertaining was done, such as the lounge or dining room, there might be a couple of wall lights, and the switch plate might be replaced with a dimmer. The total lighting load might typically be 200W, so to make the lighting more energy-efficient, the bulbs were replaced with lower wattage ones, thus reducing the power consumption but also the light level!These days, many rooms of a similar size have upwards of a dozen 50W downlights installed, resulting in a total of 600W or more lighting load. Our lighting demands are clearly increasing, but at the same time, we are also being encouraged, if not compelled, to be more energy efficient."Link

Presidential politics and the price of energy - The Boston Globe
More articles from this author:2008-02-05 07:14:00 Presidential politics and the price of energy - The Boston Globe WITH THE economy tanking on the eve of Super Tuesday, what should the presidential candidates candidly be saying about the cost of transforming the energy sector of our economy while still achieving overall economic growth? Over the last 30 years, urgency about energy has been cyclical, sparked by crises abroad and our nation's addiction to oil.In 2007, something fundamentally changed. In large part thanks to former vice president Al Gore, America collectively "greened." Now, the wolf is at the door since the United States can no longer pay the price of deferring or delaying energy transformation - we must reduce our increasing energy consumption and wean ourselves from fossil fuels.A review of energy policy over the last 25 years reveals a set of lost opportunities and a lack of political will. Yes, we broke the link between energy consumption and economic growth in the industrial sector. But even with energy price v... More About: Politics , Presidential , Energy 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
