What Does a Light Bulb Get You?

[niko-fu]

Get ready to say goodbye to the incandescent light bulb. If all goes according to plan, the phasing out of Thomas Edison’s invention will begin next year and continue through 2014. By that time, light bulb makers hope we’ll have adopted LED bulbs as our new favorite light source.
That said, manufactures have to overcome a few obstacles before consumers will be ready to make the switch.
Watt’s the Big Deal?
Some people may wonder why we can’t just stick with incandescent bulbs if reinventing the light bulb is such a challenge. It’s a matter of efficiency.
Less than 10% of the energy running through an incandescent gets converted to light — the rest is lost as heat. If we switch over to more efficient bulbs, we could save billions of dollars, decrease our thirst for oil, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Unfortunately, the first alternatives to hit the market were compact fluorescent lamps, or CFLs. The early CFLs used less energy, but that’s about the only good thing you can say about them:
Many wouldn’t fit in old fixtures.
They produced a flicker laden, dim, gray light.
They didn’t work with dimmer switches.
And, to top it all off, they contain mercury, so you can’t throw them away in the trash — at least not with a clear conscience.
The latest generation of CFLs can produce light of the same quality as incandescents, but they haven’t solved the other issues. And even if they had fixed everything, I don’t think it would have mattered. With the possible exception of people who grew up watchingCaptain Planet, the public has generally rejected CFLs — so much so that the Tea Party attempted to have Congress repeal the ban on incandescent bulbs.
The Next Bright Idea
Thanks to the market failure of CFLs, LEDs will have to be so good that they make consumers already inoculated against new lighting technology forget about their previous disappointments. The engineering problems alone make this a difficult task.
White LEDs give off a blue-tinted light, which isn’t as pleasant as the warm incandescent light we’re used to. And to burn as brightly as standard 60-watt bulbs, LEDs have to remain relatively cool.
Where are you going to buy LED Light Bulbs?
Take the website XXXXXX as a example (XXXXX is the best online B2C marketing place, there are many LED Lights for you to choose from , LED Bulbs, LED Strip Lights, LED Christmas Lights, and so on)
