Solar Accent Lighting

President Barack Obama has announced plans to phase out traditional incandescent bulbs by 2014. The government favors energy saving light bulbs such as fluorescent compact lamps (CFLs) and light emitting diodes (LEDs). Both are used in households in the United States, but the CFLs have been available for longer. There are several advantages and disadvantages of using these technologies. Consider the following:

Pros and cons of compact fluorescent lamps

Compared with incandescent bulbs, compact fluorescent lamps burns 10 times more on average. Compact Fluorescent Lamps Energy Star rated use less energy, about 75%, resulting in savings of $ 30 during the life of a single bulb. However, CFLs take longer to warm up and cold produce more light than incandescent bulbs. Manufacturers responded to customers who complained about the poor quality of lighting provided by lamps compact fluorescent, by developing a new generation of incandescent bulbs that resemble.

CFLs are closer to the incandescent bulbs in terms of illumination falling between 2700 and 3000 on the Kelvin scale. CFL bulbs that produce a natural light tone, as against the yellow tones of incandescent bulbs, fall in the range of 5000-6500 on the Kelvin scale, between 3500-4100 and the freshest products and whiter light. (The numbers for the Kelvin scale are right on the package.) A major drawback to the use of CFLs is the mercury found in each bulb. If the lamp breaks, which can be dangerous for everyone in the house if not eliminate properly. Cleaning up a broken light bulb only sometimes requires hiring an hazardous materials specialist, and can cost thousands of dollars.

The cost of 6 General Electric 26-watt CFL is $ 16, equivalent to $ 2.67 per bulb. This is the equivalent of a 100-watt incandescent bulb. A GE Reveal 100 watt bulb (4-pack) costs $ 6.08, which works to $ 1.52 per bulb. CFLs cost more, but offer energy savings. However, CFL users are waiting for less expensive products.

Pros and cons of LEDs

LEDs use less (power 2.10 watts) than CFLs and do not produce much heat. They can be used for 4.5 years row before "die", the equivalent of 40,000 hours. Unlike CFLs, LEDs contain no mercury, which is a big advantage. They do not have filaments, and that no chemical hazard if broken.

There are drawbacks to the LEDs. One of them, are only useful for low lighting or lighting the task. Do not throw light onto the base of the bulb, and the brightest available only equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent bulb. LEDs look because the temperature regulator light is cooler than incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps. However, they are more useful as night lights, giving off a blue hue. Also used for accent lighting.

New technologies being developed to solve the drawbacks of using LEDs. For example, LED Series Sharp (nine LED bulb) is available in Japan. It is with a remote control that lets users change the color tone of light. LEDs still are expensive though, costing $ 82 for the acute unit, and about $ 35 for standard LEDs. When the price of these bulbs fall, may end up being more cost effective than incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps. LEDs use less than $ 50 worth of electricity for more than 4 to 5 years, outpacing both ends.

I am looking for a solar charger for the atrium of low voltage.?

I have some yard accent lights, but I have a power source. Instruction that comes with the light of calls for 110V transformer or a solar energy center scource really rather have the solar energy. Can anyone tell me where to look? I tried searching on e-bay.

This will be difficult - because the solar chargers are rated by their voltage and power potential. His system has a certain voltage and power requirements, and unless it conforms exactly, does not work. I for that came with your unit. "Try eBay Want It Now" feature.
