How to Choose Energy-Conserving Lamps
It is believed that the secret of energy- conserving lamps lies in their title. They save energy on 80% and allow people to forget about the big bills for the light. This is very good, but I want to know more.
It is known that such light sources consist of the electronic unit, socle and the most energy-efficient lamp. With the first and the second everything is clear. socle connects to the network, and electronic unit transforms the ordinary voltage necessary for fluorescent lamp. It has mercury vapor and argon, which is still called inert gas. When the current mercury atoms come into contact with the gas, they create a special light. It passes through the lamp covered with phosphor and becomes a glow that can illuminate the room.
When choosing energy-saving lamps, it is necessary to pay attention to their options. Luminescent lamps have distinctive color temperature, which is measured in degrees of Kelvin. Surely you’ve encountered the fact that one light seems cold and the other warmer. So the figure 2700K speaks of a lamp with soft white light, and the 6400K of a “cool” product. Yet there is daylight. It is characterized by 4200K. On this basis, the low color temperature has yellow, reddish, orange tints, and the high color temperature has dark blue, blue and white tints.
Luminescent lamps are very “hardworking”. They can work from 6000 to 12000 hours. You’ll probably appreciate it, if before you just used to regularly change the lamps. Work hours are listed on the packages of energy-saving products. In any case, there will be enough time to place the lights on the ceiling or above the garage and forget about the problem of regular gym to replace the lamps. Luminescent lamps have a capacity of 3 to 85 watts.
Some experts believe that the additional advantage of luminescent lamps is the softness of their light. It doesn’t hurt your eyes and doesn’t irritating. One is not tired, being under the emission of light lamps. While this is a debatable problem. There are adherents of the conservative light sources, who affirm that energy-saving lamps on the contrary are bad for eyesight. Perhaps, it is just a matter of taste.
