Banning light bulbs not such a bright idea
"Ban the Bomb" in the '60s will become "Ban the Bulb" in 2012. The 100-watt incandescent light bulb will vanish from store shelves nationwide on Dec. 31.
Thomas Edison's miracle will join the list of verboten products - products deemed so dangerous they're banned by federal law.
Move over crystal meth,The best way to justify the cost and savings and to brightcrystal truly see how the transition to LED will impact your business is to do a detailed energy audit of existing conditions and compare them to the energy savings and maintenance costs found on the post-LED retrofit report. child pornography and DDT, here comes the 100-watt!
Once again California led the way. But this bright idea quietly jumped the leash and made it all the way to Washington where it became the law of the land courtesy of our former dim bulb president who signed it. Maybe George W. couldn't see what he was signing?
Butter-churns, doilies, harpsichords and tube radios have all been enshrined in the Museum of Obsolescence. But unlike these antique technologies, the incandescent bulb is being replaced by an inferior technology; a flop in the free market that requires the coercive power of the law to thrive.
A better mousetrap has to actually be better.
Last Saturday I used the big ladder to reach a blown bulb way up in the ceiling.You want someone that has the experience in LED lighting to guide you to the right product shinebright that is best suited to your project. I had never changed that bulb, not in the 7 years I've owned my house. It was a 200-watt beauty that lit up the room like the Rose Bowl.
That got me thinking.
If a 100-watt bulb is a crime, a 200-watt bulb could get me the electric

Or maybe someone will invent a solar chair, which would give a whole new meaning to "going green.It pays to go to professionals with bestlight a proven track record in LED lighting, a vast selection of excellent quality products from various vendors that live up to their label, and a history of successfully completed projects."
First we were told to use those dim, squiggly, compact fluorescent bulbs. It turns out they emit mercury vapor when you break one and leak contaminants if not disposed of as toxic waste. So the fluorescent bubble has burst.
Ready for the next bright idea?
At last weeks' "LightFair" trade show in Philadelphia two manufactures rolled out their new LED bulbs. They claim they're as bright as a traditional 100-watt incandescent and they only cost $50 bucks. Each.
Ouch.
In addition to the staggering price,incandescent light bulbs will be completely phased out and scannerstal no longer available to consumers within the next three years, it's time to start thinking about how you will illuminate your homes and workplaces. LEDs also produce heat that shortens their lifespan. So for $100 bucks you can get a two-pack of bulbs that may or may not be as bright as what you can get now for $5, and they won't last as long either. What's next, a square wheel?
The wife and I are converting the wine cellar into a bulb bunker. When the Light Bulb Police show up at my place they better be ready.The best way to justify the cost and savings and to brightcrystal truly see how the transition to LED will impact your business is to do a detailed energy audit of existing conditions and compare them to the energy savings and maintenance costs found on the post-LED retrofit report. I've got my trusty bow and arrow within easy reach and the wife is pretty handy with a blunderbuss.
