    • Q&A: Halogen lamps….?

      halogen lamps No Comments »

      Question by truly speaking: Halogen lamps….?
      I’m in the process of upgrading from stock bulbs to halogen. Has anyone dealt with or had any experience with NOKYA brand halogens? I came across them on www.automotivelightingusa.com. They produce a 7000k color and they draw a wattage of 55w but produce an output display of 100 watts.

      Those lights will work fine . Just remove your original bulbs and place those in. Be careful NOT to touch the glass with your fingers.

    • What factors cause incandescent bulbs to burn out faster?

      Question by : What factors cause incandescent bulbs to burn out faster?
      I know that voltages too high or too low can shorten the life span on incandescent bulbs. I also know that vibrations (wall shaking) makes a big difference. I am an electrician and I have been asked this question on numerous occasions and these are the only two answers I have, but I am sure there are more.

      mostly trapped heat.
      this is why recessed fixtures much of the time requier lower wattage bulbs.
      wont matter much longer as the tyrannical govt ahas banned them starting this year to be completed by 2012.

    • Light Bulbs, Mr Stinkypants and the CFL

      light bulbs 26 Comments »

      www.richsoil.com The adventures of Mr. Stinkypants! Starting off with a career in light bulb engineering, Mr. Stinkypants finds out that he is not the only person trying to make a better light bulb. His career starts out with incandescent lights and later he moves to the world of fluorescent lights – or CFLs. Thes story starts out with a re-creation of “the light bulb conspiracy” covered in about 60 seconds. But this topic is far better covered in the documentary “planned obsolescence” www.permies.com Then the story pops into talking about the new fangled fluorescent light – CFL. This true story is about a thousand times richer than what I present here. This story skips past the CFL claims for lifespan, toxicicity and price. It does tell a story that I think most people don’t know – the CFL is subsidized before you buy it so it appears to be much cheaper than it really is. Then it talks about the ban on the traditional incandescent light bulb. My article and my other videos convey my position that our energy problems are not going to be solved with light bulb choice. Frankly, focusing on heating will make a far bigger difference. In fact, in households where people might think that lightbulb choice could save energy, I think that household could save far more by learning to turn off the lights and far more still by developing a better heating strategy. My article does a much better job of exploring incandescent vs. fluorescent. Maybe someday my drawing skills will evolve
