What else can I help you with?
Should the government make a law that requires all compact fluorescent light bulbs for the common good?
No. CFLs contain mercury, which is harmful to the environment. Instead, all incandescent bulbs should be replaced with LEDs or newer technology that has no adverse effect on our environment.
Where can I buy fluorescent light bulbs for the best price?
Wal-Mart sells fluorescent light bulbs for very reasonable prices. They range from ten to thirty dollars. The bulbs that Wal-Mart sells are usually of good quality. IF you have any problems with them, they can be returned with original packaging and the receipt.
How is fluorescent light good for the environment?
While fluorescent lamps may lower your electricity bill, they're not really 'good for the environment', as they require more energy and resources to manufacture compared with incandescent lamps, and they contain mercury.
The government should make a law that requires all compact fluorescent light bulb for the common good?
No. CFLs contain Mercury, which is harmful to the environment. Instead, all incandescent bulbs should be replaced with LEDs or newer technology that has no adverse effect on our environment.
Why are compact fluorescent light bulbs bad?
Older CFBs contained mercury. However, today's bulbs contain little, if any, mercury. Buying today's bulbs is a good choice, as they produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb, but yet uses a fraction of the energy.
Which brands of fluorescent bulbs have a good rating?
Phillips fluorescent bulbs are a very good brand and mostly recommended by homeowners. Most brand of bulbs will turn out to brake in 3 months or less. Purchase a good quality even if you have to end up paying a little bit more than the other regular brands.
How can good lighting increase the productivity of employees?
There is a case for offering non-fluorescent lighting in offices because it is unnatural for humans to be surrounded by fluorescent light for that long. People with S.A.D. (seasonal depression) are often told to put special natural-light bulbs in their rooms because it helps the body get back on a good rhythm.
Is cheap window replacement a good first upgrade for my home?
Hmmm... I have thought of your ideas a while back, and windows might not be the best thing to start off with. I, for one, started off by replacing all my light bulbs by fluorescent light bulbs. You have no idea how much I saved!
What light bulb uses the most energy?
Incandescent light bulbs use the most energy compared to other types of bulbs like CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) and LEDs (light-emitting diodes). They produce a lot of heat, which is wasted energy, making them less energy-efficient.
What are the benefits of using a fluorescent light fixture in comparison to other types of lighting options?
Fluorescent light fixtures are more energy-efficient and longer-lasting than incandescent bulbs, saving money on electricity bills. They also produce less heat, making them safer and more comfortable to use. Additionally, fluorescent lights provide a brighter and more consistent light output, making them ideal for tasks that require good visibility.
Are energy saver bulbs good for growing?
Energy saver bulbs like compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) or LEDs can be suitable for growing plants that do not require high levels of light. However, for plants that need more intense light for healthy growth, it is recommended to use specialized grow lights that provide the specific light spectrum needed for photosynthesis.
One advantage that incandescent bulbs have over fluorescent tubes?
* They turn on more quickly than do fluorescents. * They do not require / release mercury when they break. * They release a broader spectrum of light. * They make good heaters. * They keep releasing some light for a little time after the power is turned off. * They are simpler, cheaper and easier to manufacture. * They do not present a capacitive load on the power lines, like fluorescent lights do.
