• Why are energy saving bulbs good for the environment?
For 3 main reasons:
1. Because they use 80% less electricity and therefore save energy;
2. Because they last 8 times longer and therefore generate less waste;
3. Because 93% of the material they are made of is recyclable.
It is for there reasons that CFLs are recommended by the WWF, one of the major international NGOs fighting against global warming today. For more information, click here.
• Why do energy-saving bulbs (also called “compact fluorescent lamps” or CFLs) use less electricity than regular bulbs (also called “incandescent bulbs”)?
In an incandescent bulb, 95% of the electricity used is transformed into heat and only 5% into light. By contrast, an energy-saving bulb needs 5 times less electricity to produce the same amount of light. Also, because it is so much more efficient it heats up much less and therefore lessens the risk of burning and of fire.
• How does an energy-saving bulb work?
It works the same way as a fluorescent tube. It uses electricity to excite mercury vapour in argon or neon gas, resulting in a plasma that produces short-wave ultraviolet light. This light then causes a phosphor powder to fluoresce, which produces visible light. For more information, click here.
