What is the Hei ™ bulb?
In the near future, a high -energy bulb (Hei ™) is planned to be part of the General Electric pressure to more efficient lighting. According to the GE press release of February 2007, the Hei ™ bulb will be ready to market by 2010 and will provide the same quality of light and comfort as today's standard bulb, using half the energy. GE expects that continued development will eventually lead to the Hei ™ bulb, which is four times more efficient than today's bulb, which puts the Hei ™ bulb on as compact fluorescent lamps (CFL).
Most energy consumed by bulbs is unnecessary as warm. With countless households around the world using this ineffective form of lighting, provisions are unnecessary requirements that provide electricity that is essentially unnecessary. In short, tons of waste emissions resulting in greenhouse gases -enable lighting, such as CFL or Hei ™ bulb.
CFL are highly efficient, but they had disadvantages. CFL is sometimes called a "energy saving bulb", it is a fluorescent lamp that can screw accessories in the bulb. CFLs are rated many times longer than a standard bulb, with approximately a quarter of energy for comparable watts or lumens. Although it is good, some people consider CFL light to look more dark and less calming than a bulb. This is because CFL radiates light from a different part of the color spectrum than the standard bulb.
Hei ™, which is a bulb, will reportedly generate light in the same spectrum as a standard bulb and could convince people dissatisfied with CFL to finally switch to a more efficient lamp. Certainly it would help reduce energy requirements for half, especially on wide degrees. In addition, as developers improve the Hei ™ bulb according to the set goals of GE, it is wise to assume that then the customers of the bulbs would replace them with newer ones, which shouldCascading savings and greater, positive environmental impact. The suggestion of this favorable GE image also claims that Hei ™ will be cheaper than CFL.
Details of how the Hei ™ bulb will work was not revealed, but with intelligent materials and nanotechnologies that are thrilling horizons, it could be an interesting upgrade. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the bulb and the founder of General Electric, would probably be approved.
