Fluorescent lamp

Supporters argue that there are minor lifestyle changes if any. So says, Laura Caton, a sales consultant from Sandwich, MA. She began switching to energy-saving compact fluorescent light bulbs, also known as CFLs, which provides the same amount of light as the traditional 100-watt light bulb while consuming about 75% less energy. Compared with the traditional 100-watt light bulb, close to 90% of the electricity used is wasted…

Technological innovations had a major impact on the U.S during the Gilded Age. Our major inventors were Thomas Edison and Nicola Tesla. Thomas Edison invented the DC light bulb however, Nicola Tesla invented the AC light bulb. Tesla worked under Edison as his apprentice when he was working on the light bulb. While Tesla was under Edison, JP Morgan was trying to find an industry that he could rise from the ground, and that's when he found Edison with electricity and the light bulb. JP…

The light began to flicker. She rotated to the light switch gently. Nobody was there. Maybe the light bulb is loose, she thought to herself. She pranced upon her bed, which was beneath the light, and tried to screw in the light bulb a bit more. there was nothing wrong with the light bulb. She tilted her head in confusion. Maybe it gave out, she convinced herself. Wait didn’t I just change it today? Her thoughts commenced to gallop wildly in her head. Suddenly, there was a deep chuckle in the…

I would then look at the camera and say: But perhaps fluorescent lighting is not solely to blame for eyestrain. Televisions, video games, tablets, smartphones, eBooks, and many other digital devices can be major contributing factors to eyestrain (Sikes, 2014). Then I would include this graphic to emphasize my…

buying Energy Star kitchen and home appliances, which are designed to help save energy, money, and prevent greenhouse gas emission. On the other hand, According to Global Warming Facts, “[replacing] a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) CFLs uses 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.” We should consider the fact that we are so lucky to have what we have, but instead we just make bad…

light bulbs, Compact fluorescent light bulbs and LED light bulbs. To emit 1,100 lumens the Incandescent uses 75 watts of energy, the compact fluorescent uses around 20 watts of energy and the LED only takes 12 watts of energy. The Incandescent light bulb costs around $40 year. One LED only costs around $6 a year, you can use six LED light bulbs per one Incandescent light bulb and have it cost the same. The fluorescent light bulb costs $10 per year, for the LED and fluorescent to cost the same…

reduced. Additionally, they consume less energy, making them a more efficient option. However, according to Seong-Rin Lim , a Korean environmental engineer, in his article “Potential Environmental Impacts from the Metals in Incandescent, Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL), and Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Bulbs,” LED and CFL bulbs contribute to the resource depletion of copper due to its high content. Many metals are used for the making of LED bulbs. Ling also mentions that “considerable resource…

horticultural lighting, including use in controlled environment research, lighting for tissue culture, and supplemental and photoperiod lighting for greenhouses” (Morrow). CFL and Incandescent lamps are currently being replaced by LED since “Current LED lamps are five times more efficient than incandescent lamps” and have “the ability to produce very high light levels with low radiant heat output when cooled properly, and the ability to maintain useful light output for years without…

diversional science activities and invited him to the playroom. The first activity we completed was creating a lava lamp with water, vegetable oil, food coloring, and fizzing tablets. The patient thoroughly enjoyed this activity and made an extra one for Mr. Guy as a belated birthday gift. He also displayed pride in his social interactions and his accomplishments in making the lava lamps. Reflecting back, I think that this activity went well because I offered as much control/choice over the…
