Still operating a lot of those sites with T12 bulbs & 30 year ballast. contacting G.E. lighting for info to help reduce energy waste resulting from inefficiencies within our system. Some of my questions<br /><br />a. cost of having ballast powered with burnt out bulbs<br />b. cost of zero lumens output with burnt bulbs<br />c. heat generated into building from ballast trying to arc across burnt bulbs<br />d. cost of additional HVAC operating cost from practice<br />e. Is there emf(s) still produced via powered burnt out fluorescent bulbs?<br />f. have heard varying info on the effect of optimal fluorescent lighting of eyesight.<br /> Is there any basis to that & is it exacerbated by the use of flickering bulbs or reduced output lighting products?<br />g. what range of UV EMF(s) are produced by “healthy” bulb versus bulb operating at 60% capacity? 40% ? etc<br />What else can anyone suggest?<br />Don't suggest banning CFL bulbs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9593302.post-41995398266517408972011-03-11T03:12:35.290-08:002011-03-11T03:12:35.290-08:00Stop Incandescent Ban.

&quo...In the UK as reported recently -<br />6 March 2011<br />"WE WILL NOT PICK UP TOXIC NEW LIGHT BULBS, SAY COUNCILS"<br /><br />Councils across UK are refusing to pick up low-energy lightbulbs from homes as they contain toxic mercury, which gives off poisonous vapours. But confused consumers are putting the new compact fluorescent lamps - classed as hazardous waste - in their dustbins when they burn out. Previously the public disposed of traditional light bulbs in the dustbin. UNISON, who represent 1000s of rubbish collectors said it is concerned at the risks binmen are facing. They said "Govt. is not doing enough to make people aware of the risks." <br /><br />A German Federal Environment Agency study found that when a new bulb breaks, it emits toxic vapour up to 20 times higher than the safe guideline limit for an indoor area. If a bulb is smashed, the UKs Health Protection Agency advice is to evacuate the room & leave it to ventilate for 15 minutes; wear<br />protective gloves when wiping the area of the break; wipe with a damp cloth & put the fragments in a plastic bag & seal. Then take to a council dump & place in a special recycling bank because councils do not collect hazardous waste.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073710851277872074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9593302.post-60082593134044294102009-05-12T03:50:00.000-07:002009-05-12T03:50:00.000-07:00We all should stand against the products which lea...We all should stand against the products which lead to global warming and mercury emission.
