Yes Terry. See my other posts making mention of this.
Apparently, pearlised types were the first to be phased out, because they consume more energy to make than clear ones. Oh brother ! And I suppose that CFLs, with their hundreds of manufacturing processes, don't ... ? What about simple selfishness on the part of the consumer? Suppose a 100W-equivalent CFL that draws 25W lasts only 1000 hours. In that time you save 75kWh. At 10 cents per kWh, that's $7.50 -- three times the cost of the bulb. |

18g2000prd.googlegroups.com, says... My torchieres were designed to fit 50-100-150 W bulbs. No one makes a globe or bullet brightness equivalent, much less a three-way CFL. I tried a "100 W equivalent" twisty bulb, and promptly brushed it against the ceiling, turning my living room into a hazmat scene. 3-way CFL's do exist. I have several. In the US, Target and WalMart sell a GE branded one. Sylvania also makes one that you can find at home improvement stores. There are also several store-brand models. -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!

... (Re-posted from the lower traffic sci.electronics.misc group.) Does anyone know where I can buy 'normal' filament lamp bulbs in the UK please? I just cannot get on with the new economy type.

At 10 cents per kWh, that's $7.50 -- three times the cost of the bulb. $0.10 per kw-hr is subsidized (baseline) electricity. A tolerable average for domestic electricity is about $0.19 per kw-hr and about $0.28 per kw-hr for commerical electricity. The highest rate for commerical power shown is about $0.45 per kw-hr http://www.pge.com/about/rates/ Throw in the cost of manufacture, cost of packaging, cost of replacing the heat produced by the incandescent lamp in winter, and CFL looks even worse. Light reading: http://www.greenmuze.com/blogs/guest-bloggers/1031-the-dark-side-of-cfls.html Some of the above is more than a little alarmist and paranoid, but still interesting. For example, it takes 16 times as much energy to produce a CFL bulb, but at $0.17 per kw-hr, the difference is cost is negligible. On the base of all my CFL bulbs, I scribble in pencil the date it was installed. I've been doing this for about 10 years. I have yet to see a CFL bulb that I use every day last more than about 3 years. CFL bulbs that point down last maybe a year. However, I still have one 40 watt desk lamp bulb that is about 30 years old. Unfortunately, the piece of paper that I was scribbling the results has disappeared. If I find it, I'll post my numbers. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Wrong. Suppose a 100W-equivalent CFL that draws 25W lasts only 1000 hours. In that time you save 75kWh. At 10 cents per kWh, that's $7.50 -- three times the cost of the bulb. ** A CLF that genuinely replaces a 100W bulb cost at lot more than $2.50 where I live. Well, it doesn't where I live.

I've had no trouble with any of the Home Depot CFLs I've bought -- including these. I put a free one they handed out at Christmas, 2009, in the "porch light" at my door. It's been going for well over a year -- upside-down. Home Depot apparently has major quality-control problems. No surprise for a Chinese product. |

And you cannot even divide 8 by 4 and get it right. **** OFF you bloody IMBECILE !! The only way to defend yourself against imbeciles is to speak the truth. I haven't measured the output of a "100W" CFL. However, they're subjectively quite bright, on the borderline of "too bright to stare at". Are they as bright as a 100W incandescent? The light is spread over a larger area, so it might not look as intense. Regardless, the opinions of some reviewers that these are not "truly" 100W equivalents are suspect. I have exactly the same four-bulb package shown. All the EcoSmart CFLs I've bought have given good service -- at least one year of several-hours-daily operation -- including the one in my den, which runs upside-down. When they "die", they start erratically and fail shortly afterwards. Why, Phil, do you want people to think you're a sociopath? Are you afraid people might not respect you? One of these days, you're going to run into someone less tolerant than the people in this group, and he'll smash your head in. No doubt your dying words will be "I was just joking". Well, I'm not amused, nor is anyone else here. Why don't you just join Bin Laden? You're probably too old for him, but one never knows. Perhaps the two of you can drop in on Chris and Satan. |
