Comment on Warm-White LED Review by halogenica

My impression precisely!

I now use mine in my driveway luminaire where the light is on all night. There it looks ok, and I hope to not have to replace it anytime soon.

I tried the Philips Ambiance too. While the light was “yellowish”, the light was not the same as an incandescent bulb. It is difficult to describe exactly, but the light from the LED was an eery orange color with a slightly purplish tint. Perhaps some people might not really notice any difference, but to me the light was just annoying. It also made the colors in the room look a little greyish and dead. Skin tones look sickly grey under the LED light, very different than under incandescent.

The quality of light from LEDs is certainly much better than those ugly CFLs, but still does not quite compare to incandescent / halogen.

Sorry, no clue. But I’d like to know too.

Perhaps you’d like to call them up and ask, and then post their reply here?

Ikea’s packing on CFL cautions against touching of CFL bulb with one’s fingers. Can’t be the phosphor lining because that’s internal. Any reason why?

Comment on U.S. Incandescent Regulation Found Invalid by halogenica

I see!

I must admit I didn’t quite get it when I read your post the first time. And I still find it all very confusing. But perhaps no wonder if law makers themselves don’t understand what they’re writing…

Yeah, you’re right – it is INVALID.
And, do you know where a 400-pound gorilla sits? WHEREVER HE WANTS.
Those idiots are lawmakers, and thus they are -efectivelly- above the law. They don’t give a [whatever] about common folks or common sense. You can’t do much about it, except:
a) whinning;
b) publishing your findigs wherever you want (or can);
c) nothing.

…which is about the same, and as effective as cursing the thunderstorm.
I live in EU, my wife needs 75-watts incadescend light bulb, frosted, for her sewing machine. NOT AVAILABLE, period.
The light of compact fluorescent laps is awfull, clear light bulbs (or clear halogen replacements of these) are too glaring (she’s repairing windsurfing sails, which are made of reflective film) – but no, they aren’t allowed on the market. I’d pay $10 apiece to get them – but no, we have to save the planet.
God save us befor it’s too late.

Thanks megarim. But it seems I was a bit hasty in my post above.

I just got this information from someone who has looked a little closer at the treaty:

I will update the above post with this information.

With the availability of so many antique equipment, it tends to make
it complicated to pick out. While sitting in their landfills, they are exposed to the rough weather, creating them to erode, which sales opportunities
to a chemical leak. The pace of innovation requires exam and
measurement methods which are speedier, more affordable,
and far more scalable than at any time before.
