Energy Saving Light Bulbs
BEING GREEN NEED NOT BE UGLY We have been in the lighting industry for 25 years and can remember the first generation of “Green” low energy light bulbs. They resembled an upside down milk bottle and were as heavy as a full bottle of milk. The concern was that it might fall down, and also it looked Ugly. During the past 10 years manufacturers have tried and tried again to encourage us to “Go Green”. They have done little to encourage us by ensuring that whilst “Going Green”, we didn’t have to spend a small fortune in the process. The manufacturers marketing was exceptional, especially at pointing out that the Low Energy Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFL) would indeed save us some pennies, but not quite enough pennies to make us want to spend out in the first place! So with the cost and the ascetic quality of these light bulbs being what they were, all in all most people tried one or two versions of the “Green” Light Bulbs. They were generally only placed out of view so as not to compromise the decorative value of their homes. Manufacturers have now introduced much more variety of CFL Light Bulbs and with great efficiency; they have reduced the purchase costs considerably. More over, the manufacturers have also gone a long way to make the product both dimensionally and ascetically better and pleasing to the eye.
At www.firstlightdirect.com we have invested time and resources in searching out the best of the best. We ensure that all our Light Bulbs and Fluorescent Tubes are only from the main manufacturers such as OSRAM, GE LIGHTING, PHILIPS, PROLITE and MEGAMAN. These manufacturers all work within a Quality Manufacturing System which ensures that the lamps are firstly made to the highest of standards, but also that they are safe to use and install. First Light Direct will not sell lamps from the Another positive solution with CFL Light Bulbs are that they can also be quite useful if you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). This wide range of Daylight CFL Light Bulbs have been used to treat this debilitating disorder that can for many leave them low in mood and very tired. Manufacturers are now working on the next steps in lighting technology which is based on Light Emitting Diode technology or “LED” as it is known, Many manufacturers have released into the market a range of Halogen Light Bulb replacements. Although currently these lamps have a low visual output, they also have a very low consumption of power, currently around 1-2 watts. Unlike their “CFL” relatives, there is no simple conversion factor that exists to allow us to understand what actual output we should expect in order for us to compare against a standard light bulb. However, most web sites that sell these do try to give the best opinion possible as to the output to allow the customer to make an informed choice. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
