yes I had heard about that - though not ...Thanks...<br />yes I had heard about that - though not that they also put in heating which as you say then somehow defeats the whole exercise...<br /><br />Not totally different from replacing domestic incandescents and having to turn up the heating to compensate for the "heat wasting" incandescents:<br />Sure, they're often located near the ceiling but give off infra-red type heat (heating bodies rather than air) and since all room heat rises and gradually descends again,<br />the disadvantage is not as marked as supposed, quite aside from the use of side-lamps etc.<br /><br />The incandescent heat issue is covered in some depth - and with plenty of referenced research data - on <a href="http://ceolas.net/#li6x" rel="nofollow">http://ceolas.net/#li6x</a> for those interested.<br /><br />Might add, since it always comes up, that any use of incandescents in warm situations and with air-conditioning cooling etc is of course voluntary, and might be preferred anyway for light quality and other reasons, as also covered on the website.Lighthousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123172670211101092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316303495378677857.post-10652323250186113192012-10-03T11:59:29.622-04:002012-10-03T11:59:29.622-04:00In the US many traffic lights have been replaced w...In the US many traffic lights have been replaced with LED equipment. This has created a new issue in Northern climates. Where old traffic lights emitted enough heat to melt snow and ice, the new ones do not. This has necessitated heaters to be installed in these assemblies. The combined energy usage is now equal to what it was before....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
