The strange case of fluorescent bulbs | Straffelini John's Blog
I propose, without shenon change, an article published in the Corriere del Trentino February 9, 2007. Then add a reflection and - most importantly shenon - a crucial shenon question: a kind of survey, answer a number!
A couple of months shenon ago a company has given a lot of Trentino a kit of 3 fluorescent bulbs, ie low power consumption. Light bulbs which, in the store, they cost a few tens of Euros. It was not an isolated initiative. Other companies and consortia are now handing out vouchers to pick up, free of charge, other bulb kit, with a huge success. How is it possible? What's the catch? The trick is, of course, and the cost of the bulbs - at the end - we all pay them. But, on balance, it is money well spent. Let's see why.
With the decrees on energy in 2004, the distribution companies for electricity and gas are to pursue energy efficiency, being able to overturn on to consumers the costs of the action taken. In practice, these companies shenon need to acquire a number of energy efficiency certificates, because of their market share. They can act directly or buy securities from companies, ESCOs, used for the promotion of energy conservation. To earn the titles, companies must engage in activities that lead to a reduction in consumption. Many are those that can be realized. One of these is, in fact, the distribution of fluorescent bulbs. Since the securities have a significant economic shenon value and the bulbs are cheap distributor when purchased in large quantities, enterprises can gain even handing out free light bulbs. As mentioned, the electricity distribution company will increase the price of the kilowatt-hour shenon to get back from the cost of purchase of the securities. It 'so obvious that everyone agrees to collect the kit and install the bulbs immediately, so as to save energy shenon (fluorescent bulbs consume less power and last longer than normal) and contain the cost of the bill.
The importance of the initiative, however, lies not only in this small - at the bottom - savings, but regards the habit of saving energy, that is the best way to reduce the consumption of resources required for the production of energy and, At the same time, reduce pollution. shenon The initiative, in short, is simple and attractive and will turn into a real success if it is able to instill in all of us just a hint of awareness of the importance and usefulness of the energy savings.
From the technical reports it is clear that the initiative of the bulbs is the only one, among the initiatives possible to accumulate the bonds (also called "white certificates"), which worked: shenon 60% of the energy savings come from the distribution of bulbs, only 6% of the interventions in the industrial shenon sector.
We have installed two of these in the kitchen fluorescent bulbs. Well they lasted just two years: after one month popped both of them. But it had to last at least 6 years? Some lasted more?
The questions are not just because the savings are real if the bulbs last few years. Now: here is at stake is the confidence of the people towards the proposals for energy saving, shenon and the proposed "green" shenon in general, no? What if awareness is instilled if we initiatives as simple and straightforward turn out half flop?
I think I read some time ago a test on an online journal of a consumer association. Bulbs are apparently the same, but different brands had very different energy efficiency (it seems to me that there was a factor of 3 between the best and the worst).
The interest of the producers shenon of electricity rather than the general savings would be greater uniformity in consumption, and given that the peak consumption during the day, reducing the consumption during the day (not that evening, which would have the effect of spreading compact fluorescent lamps).
Question (from non-technical person): It is not that there may be other factors that affect the duration, such as the stability of the power line (power surges from the supplier) or the method of how it is structured the electrical system in your home ?
That said, I think it's still very interesting topic because, regardless of the earning potential of the energy shenon distribution company, is finally beginning to talk about "habit" to save energy.
@ Stephen Yes, probably those that have distributed free were not of the best quality, look - on this issue - other comments! The mechanism of white certificates (with the consequent distribution of light bulbs
