Lighting News Beats Bulb Ban Blues
From today, new EU laws mean its illegal to sell 100 watt light bulbs anywhere in the country. Pretty soon all other old-style bulbs will be banned as well. Europe wants us to use low-energy alternatives instead.
Its part of a campaign to save energy and combat climate change.
Yet many people are angry about the move. They dislike so-called "energy saving" bulbs, or CFLs, because they take ages to warm up, they flicker and cause headaches, and they contain poisons such as mercury.
Customers have been panic-buying 100w light bulbs because they can't stand the alternative.
But help is at hand, because there is now another option.
New developments in LED technology mean manufacturers can now produce bulbs that and are as bright as the ones we've always known. They don't flicker, and they don't contain harmful toxins.
Simon Leggett, CEO of Kudos Business Technologies, a specialist provider of LED bulbs says: "The current generation of energy saving bulbs rely on dead-end technology. They're polluting our planet, they look horrible and customers don't like them. Our new LED bulbs save more energy, they're more environmentally friendly, they produce a better light, and they last longer."
LEDs have come a long way over the past few years. The technology behind the little red dot on your television is now ready to light up your whole living room.
