There is no doubt that the energy saving light bulb has come a long way since the first one shone on the world.

But I would like to know how much energy and CO2 has it taken to do all the research and experiments to get to today’s level?

Re: Let There Be Light.
 

Ok .. thanks for that Margaret .. will reserve my judgement for a while.

Re: Let There Be Light.
 

More piffle from the "man-made global warming" fanatics. Just one more step on the road to no choice conformity.

Dunno' Bernie, which Google Page Ranking*tt did say that ? :D

Sorry Jambutty, no knowledge to join in your technical questions .. just how most people will view them .. Do they save you money ? and Do they look Ok ? My reason for not wanting them at the moment is the latter, I'm afraid. . no, 'not afraid' (sounds like an apology) .. :rolleyes:

Re: Let There Be Light.
 

Not those words exactly but you did say you liked the romantic settings that your dimmer switches provided:D Thought maybe you were keeping a secret:D

Re: Let There Be Light.
 

Bit confused but, yes, do like the romantic settings they provide and, no secrets at all, meant for deffo' the 'romantic' in the true sense of the word. ;)
Nowt wrong with that, is there ? even at my time in life.. :D:D

Re: Let There Be Light.
 

That is another point that seems to have been ignored.

If the whole nation goes energy conscious and use nothing but these energy saving light bulbs (which is being forced on us by 2011) the energy companies are going to sell less electricity.
Selling less electricity means less income.
Less income means less profit.
Less profit means increase in cost of electricity to maintain the profit margins for the fats cats and shareholders.

Result we, as usual, pay more.

Re: Let There Be Light.
 

Nothing at all wrong with that Kate:D

Re: Let There Be Light.
 

Good point Jambutty, but will they not save on providing more 'outlets' for lesser demand ? Providing plants, etc., is always the biggest capital outlay.

Re: Let There Be Light.
 

Er! Don’t you mean fewer outlets for lesser demand.

The energy companies could maintain the Status Quo (no air guitars, please) by closing down a power station or two and save on the running costs. Workers made redundant.

Re: Let There Be Light.
 

That bothers you? Dont you have anything else to worry about?

Re: Let There Be Light.
 

LOL .. yes, apologies, I did mean 'fewer' outlets .. or did I mean 'more' outlets for 'increasing' demand ? Anyway, you did understood what I meant thank you.

Not sure if it would entail closing down any present power stations .. demand is still increasing in other areas such as growing population and technology advances (as us on our computers tonight), so reckon these bulbs will only have a levelling effect.

Re: Let There Be Light.
 

Not at the moment.

What would you suggest?
