Invented in 1803
Mass manufactured in 1875 (give or take)
90% of the energy is heat, not light
Lasts about 7 months as opposed to 7 years for fluorescent and 20 years for LED
Banning this bulb will save a ton of energy, cut carbon emissions and waste disposal.
I think that's great, but...Seven years for fluroscent bulbs? In whose house? Not mine, that's for sure. After a year max, maybe less, they're too dim to be useful. Am I doing something wrong?
ReplyDeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteIn a word yes...Lamps are rated for average lamp life, so some could last more while some could last less. But a year for all....not probable.
What lamps are you using for what purpose? Who is the supplier and brand
