Light Bulb Update

Not only has the Government banned our much-loved 100 watt and 75 watt bulbs, the EISA (Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007) deadline has come for the 60 and 40 watt incandescent bulbs as well. So what does this mean for illuminating our homes in the best light? Do we need to hoard these bulbs??? See the end of this article for my thoughts on this! Today there are more efficient (that produce better light with less energy) options available as long as you know what to look for.

If you are going to buy fluorescent bulbs (the coil bulb that takes 30 seconds to light up), make sure to get a “color temperature” of 2700-3000 Kelvin (warm yellow glow of incandescent bulbs) or 4000K (higher intensity true color “white” light) and know that:

You will have to take them to a bulb recycling drop-off when they burn out due the mercury content in them.

If one breaks, you should wash your hands and air out the room.

They have limited dimmability

They can produce a humming sound from the ballast.

They last xxx times longer and burn without releasing any heat.
