There is also a lifespan minimum requirement 1000 hours like with the old bulbs.
If the new bulbs really lasted longer
and they wanted to think environmentally they could have raised the lifespan standard!
Yes good point, as far as legislation goes.
Though overall, I would also be against government lifespan standards, as with any government product regulation unrelated to product usage safety.
As always, they compromise product characteristics and product choice: At least with incandescents, lifespan and brightness tend to be trade-offs.
For products generally, shorter lifespans might be cheaper, leading to a debate on sustainability etc as covered on earlier posts here you can look up.
Short lifespans are not of themselves bad - people might not use a product much, or only stay a short while where a product needs to be used eg light bulbs.
If there is a problem - deal with the problem:
Instead, say impose recycling mandates, deposit-return requirements and so on, as applicable, to lessen waste impact on nature.
A really informative article. Keep on posting...Electric Light Canada provide tips helps you save energy .We look forward to dealing with you soon,
