OK, but can you get full spectrum LEDs?
Sure. And they don't have mercury in them.

An a 100 watt equivalent LED light will set you back $40-$100 USD.

Hi Pramesh, thanks for the message. It's actually really easy to get
used to full spectrum lights (it took me only 5 minutes) in fact I
enjoyed it so much more than incandescent that I think 'getting
accustomed' is not even an issue. About it affecting your natural
pattern, well from personal experience I can say these bulbs have
improved my sleep. I don't think they have any negative affects.
I am thinking of getting some LED lights for my home now after reading
you and Ron's messages. Do you know what the price is for a 150 watt
equivalent, also do you know where I can buy them? And will they work
with the Bayonet fitting which I have in my home? Or do I need a
special type? Hope you will answer these questions.
Merci xD |

I don't understand what you mean that incandescent bulbs are cheaper.
You will save 80% with full spectrum fluorescent lighting! In fact
over time, they pay for themselves! Incandescent is a waste of money
and energy because it gives off lots of heat with relatively teeny
amount of light. You will spoil the environment if you use those old
bulbs (halogen, incandescent) because they give off some carbon
dioxide emissions and pollute the atmosphere! |

In the future I think everyone will be using these bulbs (for

they pay for themselves over time in comparison to the amount you
would have paid for an incandescent non-energy saving bulb. The
futuristic world is a bright, white one!
Stay tuned next week, when Zetsu "discovers" the diesel engine!
Maybe the week after it will "discover" glasses!

Because independent inquiry and research just KILLS you.
We know. |

I have tried some full spectrum lights and didn't care for them. I have
a full spectrum light designed for use in the winter. I tried it for a
while but it did nothing for me.

Depends on when you use them. Full spectrum light when you should be
winding down, melatonin should be increasing as your body prepares for
the night will mess you up over time.

Google is the god to worship here - do a google search.
Here's a 150 watt 30 degree spotlight, only $577 USD, each.

They burn out to easily, much sooner that they claim, and they get
duller with time which is unacceptable. Their lumens need to be
constant over time and they often are not.

I like them. I buy the contractor's box which is very cheap.
My electric bill is only a couple of percent at most for light.

Tweedledee, Tweedledum. I could walk everywhere, live in the mountains
in a cave, and eat off the land too. I'm sitting in my den right now
where there are 6 60 watt lights and 4 150 watt lights that are
florescent and 6 65 watt lights that are incandescent which means they
can work with a dimmer. I have two fans going in an air conditioned
home because I like the air moving. There are seven computer monitors
functioning with several computers that run 7*24, and a very large TV.
That's only my den. I own a very large home, more than 5000 sq/ft, with
a lot of people who all have computers, tvs, etc. Does it seem like I'm
worried about saving a couple of pennies on lighting? My den has the
more florescent lights than the rest of the house but I have to change
them almost as often as the incandescent lights. Most of the lights are
can lights and florescent has a lot lot lot shorter life in such a
fixture. As they burn out, I'm putting incandescent back in.
I do like efficiency not because I'm an environmentalist but because I
like to be independent and self sufficient. I looked at geothermal for
heating an cooling my home, I have investigated solar and energy storage
so that I can be off the grid, I have looked at wells, pumps, etc.,
etc., with the plan to design my own home someday that is large and
spacious, well apportioned, on several dozen acres with woodland and
farmland and completely off the grid.
Reducing my "carbon footprint" is the least of my concerns.
