What are the pros and cons of fluorescent bulbs?
I have to give an informative speech about the fluorescent bulbs in my class presentations oral. I need a little help with the investigation. Thanks in advance!-Kelly
With another, in our area can not have them in the trash bin regular. Our waste disposal fine you. To get rid of it, you should be right around the "house-up of hazardous materials", held every 6 weeks and remember to keep the coupon which enables you to have a certain amount of "dangerous" items at no charge. I suspect that many people will not make this effort, fine risk hiding in the regular garbage and is going to end up in landfill.

Switch to Compact Fluorescent bulbs (CFL) - save energy and money
I am sure that now you have heard of compact fluorescent bulbs (LFC) and if you are not using them, you're missing some real savings. An Energy Star qualified CFL can save between $ 30 and $ 45 during the life of the bulb.
CFL bulbs energy use about 75% less than traditional incandescent bulbs, although more expensive, they will have to pay for themselves in about 6 months and last up to 10 times longer. Some CFLs last up to 10 years and come with a manufacturer warranty replacement. That means you too save to buy fewer bulbs. The drop in electricity use from CFL bulbs means a drop in demand and a reduction of mercury emitted by power plants.
Few people realize that the lighting of households from 15% in the average household energy consumption. I know you remember I said and maybe constantly reminded to turn off the lights when leaving a room, but with energy and saving money in mind, you will not have to strain to do so. I also remember the lights will give off extra heat your air conditioner working overtime to cool in the summer as energy is no longer necessary, just another reason to switch to FLIP that when the lights are not being used.
Additional points to note
- CFL bulbs contain a very small amount (4 mg on average) of mercury and be placed in your local recycling location. To find local recycling locations can visit http://www.epa.gov/bulbrecycling/
- While voltage regulators can configure an environment and save money on your energy bill with old incandescent bulbs is not recommended that you use CFL bulbs, which can shorten the life of the bulb.
