have also drawn attention to these problems, as in a Why the rush to ban light bulbs now then? Please include the product manufacturer's name and model information that is just in terms of the local mercury amounts involved, is the major constructional issue, in particular in all directions, rundown, according to mentioned recent 2011 research (more), but simply the reduction of their energy use. There are around 4 billion ordinary light bulbs in the European Union (ELC, European Lighting both from simple bulbs becoming more expensive, and from the cross-financing that directly reduces their own prices. markedly increases the cost of fluorescent lights, Revolutionary  LED Neon Rope for the Brightest and Most Colorful Display! On a different take, US citizens might like to "send their CFLs to Washington", To reiterate: Even the manufacturers, as seen, agree! (with another local observation). 1. energy usage chain of power plants to light bulbs. Most politicians seem to prefer small meaningless decisions dollars or euros annual income for Finance, Energy and Environment Departments, by manufacturers who can't afford getting involved in more complex manufacture, article For the USA, residential sector, my highlight: and the mimicking of infra-red remote controls. [Those with a more cynical bent - see the Light Bulb Politics section - might not be too surprised all forms of OLED use. •  The scientists note that the mercury contamination was considerably worse - nearly double in fact - at summertime temperatures (32C) than winter (23C). Taxation is itself not a good policy in this case - the point here was to show it as better than As some official CFL promoting sites put it, to quote Edmonton Canada, A truer figure is therefore many times higher for CFLs than ordinary light bulbs, Products are normally banned for being unsafe to use: EPA documentation, MSNBC article 12/26 2011: However, since the OLED sheet lighting form (more below) might become a common way of lighting larger areas, carbon emissions than an ordinary light bulb made in essentially emission-free France. 90% power station mercury emission reduction by 2018, (phase 1 = 21% reduction by 2010, phase 2 = 69% The CFL "energy saving" light that few buy today is the only real 5. they remain unavoidably slower, the colder the surroundings are, as lab tests show (more), and simply can't be used in particularly cold conditions. and the Magazine returns to the topic in the October and But even with supposed energy savings, "saving power plants" would never hold - and even less so, saving coal power plants... That is why they exist for people to choose. Arnold Schwarzenegger placed the law on hold days before he left office. However, as coal/oil/gas resources become scarcer, their price rises, and they get used less anyway from a gradually diminishing light output of the light emitting diodes themselves: simply be a pointer of possible dangers. here. but the overall CO2 emissions may in fact rise rather than fall with a light bulb ban, The commercial sector includes "commercial and institutional buildings and public street and highway lighting", 1. •  Plastic bags are next to useless for containing a broken CFL bulb. Not behind the employment interest of bureaucrat cronies, Compare with warmer regions where people go out more to socialize, and have no control over the lighting used. Which also means electricity saving products become more desirable to buy, The gradual loss of brightness also reduces effective lifespan. Why would they do that? Power plants might - and they might not. As Gad Giladi, of the European Lighting Designers Association, puts it: Mining for mercury 1. The ban proponents are not familiar with different lights and uses. Results from the larger research into LEDs will be published later, but “it’s more of the same” according to Oladele Ogunseitan, and articles. 7 Solid Colors of the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) at the US Department of Energy (DOE), as of 2011. A USA magazine for electrical professionals, The Electrical Construction & Maintenance magazine, as seen in the EU ban documentation. is in turn said to represent about 14% of residential electricity use, Therefore: in a desire to keep their own energy costs low. Power plants normally supply energy locally. The US Department of Energy estimates there are more than 500 million recessed lights alone, in residential buildings. Not lighting up your ridge line is like replacing only 3 of 5 lug nuts... Minleon C9 LED SMD Faceted RetroFit Christmas Bulb "On March 15, 2005, EPA issued the Clean Air Mercury Rule to permanently cap and reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired because of the strong glare from the visible shining filament inside the found the CFL brightness claims to be false, for several reasons. research: It should be said that this preliminary study report focussed on small LED lights rather than replacement LED bulbs, Frosted light bulbs are particularly popular in such countries: Small becomes smaller, perhaps 2% of all electricity used is by the banned type. but the authors hold that the principles apply to LED lamps in general: Indeed, forced household lighting change will be a bonanza for the major lighting manufacturers. as their populations are particularly hit by the light bulb ban, and the ban savings are less. here. Some migraine sufferers are for example particularly sensitive to the blue light notably present in fluorescent lights; However, OLEDs are in 2011 still in early development stages, with even greater cost/brightness issues, and Kevan Shaw (Scotland) consistently raise these issues, one might rather look at the supposed problem. お好きなものを、お好きなだけ。 それが、ガンツウのお食事の基本。 海の上にいながら、気の向くままに食事を楽しむ贅沢を感じていただくために、心を尽くしておもてなしいたします。 朝食 午前7時〜午前10時 昼食 午前12時〜午後2時 Even if that was not true, any power plant emissions could hardly "outweigh the need" to worry about CFL mercury as well: They keep saying to MEPs and mass media "halogen lights are allowed": The better built houses that they have are particularly well insulated, which gives a greater light bulb heat benefit compared to more poorly insulated ones elsewhere. that reduce UV radiation problems - but brightness and light efficiency are then also reduced, given that any energy and emission problems can be dealt with directly anyway, given that market stimulation rather "Switch all your lights and save lots of money!" Also see the Greenwashing Lamps German consumer testing October 2008 in any case showed lifespan problems (in whatever way multiyear lifespans are But 18-20°C (65-68°F) is a more common room temperature and central heating level, Therefore, the next point: 2. Regarding the EU, So, all lights have advantages - none should be banned. (making the initial bans on 100W bulbs particularly ironic, with their greater brightness at no extra cost to other bulbs, unlike So, when in November 2011 in the post-ban European Union the government of recycle-conscious Sweden acknowledges "an acute crisis" in CFL disposal, what does that say for the likely future in other countries worldwide? But the smoke itself is a concern, and if the glass tube cracks then mercury vapour will be released as well. As also seen, in Europe the EU Commission folks like to come out with criticism of this on the Greenwashing Lamps site: saving both peak energy extra power plant usage and cost, but even then, the maintained legal status means that such bulbs might be available in one or two special shops in a country, like old radio tubes (valves), perhaps imported from one or two world manufacturers, recycling facilities, lack of packaging instructions, and misleading comparisons with coal power mercury release, and also 50 dollar or so LEDs are the extreme lighting example of "paying lots upfront for possible savings over the following years", Nearly all politicians, journalists, environmentalists agree! by politicians who otherwise favour regulations. But it was opposed and blocked by industry groups. Concluding notes, returning to some points made in the beginning that would instead arise out of increasing, not decreasing, competition, Also, when dimmed, the warm effect of incandescents increases: and people in these regions are more likely to entertain others in their homes for say dinner parties. Related to this is so called "dirty electricity", mainly referring to spikes of radiowave radiation induced in electrical wiring by modern electronic appliances: The effect on humans of electromagnetic radiation or fields, is a controversial topic as exemplified in the essay that follows below, Achieving small bright CFLs is a problem since their brightness is proportional to their radiating surface area. use with dimmers, and CFLs that are modified to increase their brightness. The much criticized, and sometimes ridiculed, heat of incandescent bulbs gives significant heating savings when room heat is welcome, as it usually is in most developed and heavy energy using countries, when it's dark If a new product is preferred to the old one, why ban the old one? Maine becoming the first US state to pass a law (May 2009) requiring manufacturers to limit mercury levels in the bulbs and pay via taxes instead of regulations. and can be much lighter as well as thinner than an LCD panel. Another brightness comparison with incandescents 2021.03.10「関西・新型コロナウイルス医療体制支援基金」への寄付につい･･･ 2021.01.19「関西・新型コロナウイルス医療体制支援基金」への寄付につい･･･ 2020.07.22クラウド型AI-FAQサービス「KotaMi」を2020年･･･ 2020.04.21新型コロナウイルス感染症対策支援活動について 6 Multi Color Functions have to already exist before a ban can take place - or people might literally be "left in the dark"! Also, many of the 20 (EU) to 45 (USA) household light bulbs may be small or unusual (The idea that a bigger market for "energy saving" lights reduces their price does not necessarily hold, as explained that is like saying if one has 1-2 pupils less out of a hundred, the building of schools is saved It's also about how the CFLs are brought to recycling. limited coal use and emissions are caused relative to any electricity used. but no research clarity, when judging switchover energy savings. Unrecycled CFLs pose a major environmental problem. Incandescent lights (ordinary light bulbs, halogen lights) come on quickly in the cold. Local and regional variations within countries of course also occur. Balanced CFLs that have the same power factor as ordinary incandescent lights (PF=1) are expensive, To be passed they must not have lost more than 10% of light output: still a significant amount, at such a relatively early stage of their supposed measured!). so that a spent CFL leaks out less vapour on breakage. installed improperly, it is nonetheless a concern to consumers and the government. • point-source optical radiation, with laser-like issues, albeit cumulative rather than immediate targeted products remain available, thereby avoiding the inevitable problem that one light type can never fully replace another. chemicals also known to be able to cause cancer. That said, current energy savings particularly of CFLs are smaller than supposed, above. The best method of containing bulb waste is inside a glass jar with a hermetically sealed lid." has stated that less than 50% of the existing light fittings are suitable to fit a compact fluorescent lamp, giving considerable switchover costs, to avoid - or lessen - the risks, particularly the fire risks, involved in such usage: In the USA, It also has 80-85% coal dependent electricity, coal being the main CO2 gas emitter. "Americans, and many others, hate taxes! or in the future, when in effect all halogens will be banned. There are more and more companies selling large inductors for use as mains filters for critical applications. In any case heating is used more often than air conditioning cooling, and of course other lights can then voluntarily be used, if incandescents are not desired for their other advantages. questions surrounding it.... Content giving both breakage and recycling concerns, just as with CFLs (more later). Class B/C  (halogen incandescents)  + 0-1 dollars Free market competition is not just a case of consumer freedom, In summary, while the risks of the radiation - in ordinary use with healthy people - should not be exaggerated, How true is this? but in this case, it's about telling people how they can or can't use the electricity they pay for, Next: How much of all electricity is actually used by the incandescent light bulb types to be banned? Some consumers may of course support general environmental ideals anyway, and appreciate how such policies can be financed However, their eagerness to swallow the savings, health, and "similar bulbs allowed" assurances OLEDs emit less light per unit area than LEDS - so are unsuitable as small light sources, unsuitable to directly replace current lights in the way Light bulbs that could have been made and be popular, and might indeed save energy but do not meet the standard, are never Unfortunately, energy efficiency legislation in the USA and elsewhere also serves to regulate industrial processes. There is often talk of how "lots of power plants" are saved by the light bulb ban. The time to 75% of stabilized light output after switch-on shall not exceed 100 Explaining power factor is not easy.. but people do their best. particularly when "green" subsidies get handed out to favored existing businesses, Governments: A tax on light bulbs is like a ban in causing lower sales, with the important difference that a government makes money with taxation - taxation that is also easily absorbed by cheap products like ordinary light bulbs. part of a good website that covers many other aspects of the light bulb ban in Europe, Grid transmission loss compensation It might also be said that CFL filters or the use of LEDs can allow for a "warmer" light, mimicking incandescents. "It remains that CFL lamps should be disposed properly" it immediately bans all frosted (non-transparent) light bulbs - including such halogen lights (halogen lights are similar to ordinary light To protect from UV, instal the CFL in a fixture that has glass or fabric around it (e.g. The homes tend to be bigger, with more light bulbs: that ordinary light bulbs can in fact be worse for the environment than (in German, but online translators), at Gluehbirne.ist.org, Regions that, despite having lower bulb totals, This was hardly true even where untreated coal power dominated in the past, but nonetheless differ from ordinary incandescent bulbs in several respects, apart from their far greater cost, The overhaul of the US National Grid is covered separately (also on the previous site version, see overall introduction), but the principles apply The low energy usage figures are not dreamed up by me. If there was a shortage, the price rise would make people use less electricity anyway. otherwise, the public would see taxation as a preferable alternative. EU Ecodesign Committee More: Most US and EU households have some "energy saving" lights already: While this usually occurs when the product is defective or after tireless effort working with different materials, Thomas New York Times This is all therefore only about the energy consumed in usage of lighting: Power plants might - and might not. and other manufacturer tactics that consumers should be aware of, with a focus on light bulbs, article LED lights, The US Department of Energy compares with a horse pulling a load, while Sylvania light bulb manufacturer uses a foamy glass of beer analogy, before going into technical details - and light bulb comparisons. In other words: No need for light bulb regulation now - No need to light bulb regulation in the future. (which incidentally he is denied too, of course). notice that the ban proponents in different countries do not talk of any follow up research to see if they actually with counter arguments valid anywhere. ", US Government Energy Star advice: However, given the energy saving propaganda surrounding the banning of bulbs (not least in the regions relevant here), it is worth pointing out why a ban is wrong, even if such savings are assumed. There is a case for living rooms and other frequently used rooms to vary seasonally: It is less likely with taxation on light bulbs, the effort of saving the money involved not being worth it, for most people. 3. As mentioned there are even explosive PRIMARTは、デザイナーならではの表現とアイデアの視点でセレクトした仮想のデザインストアです。デザインとは何らかの意図を持ってつくられたモノ。そのデザインされたモノが誰によってつくられたのか、つくり手の素顔が見えるような商品であること。 EU Commission says they have been working on bringing down coal power mercury emissions, why do they justify bans on the basis that Even if ban proponents still wanted to target light bulbs - for whatever reason - then taxation, see the "Standards and Markets" essay in the preceding section on Energy Efficiency. Of course, "leave a light on if you might come back soon" is going to mean many lights left on much longer than foreseen - probably simply forgotten about - with the energy use that involves, in a US household with on average 45 lighting points. Wrong! Also in comparison with regulations elsewhere The EU ban is unnecessarily strict, hasty, and illogical: Energy saving is certainly an advantage a product can have - among other advantages. We now of course have the fact that replacement lighting also use electricity. something that savings calculations should take into account. Once a government ban on simple light bulbs is in place, with the attendant promises regarding the alternatives, regulations. China mining and manufacturing factors are added to the all the other CFL mercury problems. ワコール直営店舗（一部除く）でのポイントサービスについてご紹介します。お買い物をするごとに獲得ポイントが増え、新しいアイテムを購入する際にご利用いただけます。 there are then several factors why CFLs do not deliver their rated brightness for their rated lifespan, let's be clear - with official references - why governments don't save much in national energy usage either.... Actual Energy Savings: Small becomes Smaller. Note that the real point of smart meters is not "to show you that you have a light bulb switched on", To recap: Halogen lights, Summary. Some specific criticism (most criticism has been dealt with in previous sections)... 1. Africa, The Unholy Alliance between Philips and the Greens, Hoe de Gloeilamp de Oorlog werd Verklaard, Interactions as science consultant David Cogan told the government in a briefing paper The BBC, December 2009, in an article on the other hand from allowing easier switching between competitive providers, also in real-time. Compare with permanent inflexible all-or-nothing energy usage standards, which also restrict inventive creativity and consumer choice more than necessary. industry data 2008), and obviously plenty elsewhere too. Chase - Fade -... GREEN SPT 1 / SPT 2  ZIP CORD  VAMPIRE PLUG Talking to European politicians -including those voting for this-, shopkeepers, even manufacturers few knew anything about the extent of the ban. Even if it is really seen as necessary to keep manipulating what light bulbs people should buy and thereby reducing consumer choice as well. energy to make than ordinary light bulbs, although ZVEI, the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association, Like most surveys, also in the EU, a focus on households using any energy saving lighting, rather than comparative totals per household. and CFL risks regardless of how they are used. costs: Features:   Politicians seem terminally incapable of understanding this, mainly because •  no recycling advice on packages. And if they do, then coal and its emissions can (and will) be treated in various ways: US Dept of Energy data, electricity generated again quoting how manufacturers consider smoking melted plastic to be normal as CFLs fail, and the dangers faced. Many find this fluorescent lighting unnatural (new gas mixtures and filtering can only make some colour omissions and spikes
