A compromise was to allow clear incandescents a while longer as they could not "adequately be replaced by the opaque CFLs".<br /><br /> There is an overall lack of efficiency (ironically) in using lighting, Fluorescnt technology does have advantages, but in traditional long tube form, not as light bulbs - again, same applies to LEDs, they are best as sheets, as with TV screens. Both CFL/LED technologies suffer from Brightness issues in the smaller Bulb enclosure technology that is so suited to Incandescents - apart from the fact that all lighting types have different light quality etc advantages for different situations anyway.Lighthousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123172670211101092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316303495378677857.post-42792167003421825182012-07-15T13:27:42.505-04:002012-07-15T13:27:42.505-04:00So FIRST they ban regular light bulbs THEN they ch...So FIRST they ban regular light bulbs THEN they check more carefully on how good the replacements actually are (and find they aren't good enough)<br /> Should be the other way round?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316303495378677857.post-4617195709698968382012-07-14T18:45:51.496-04:002012-07-14T18:45:51.496-04:00Manufacturers have had over 25 years to remedy the...Manufacturers have had over 25 years to remedy the multiple issues with CFLs and start meeting promised quality standards. Yet, in every test they still come more or less out lacking in several important areas. <br /><br />Isn't it time to realize that this product is an Edsel that will never work as hoped and just remove it from the market?Halogenicahttp://greenwashinglamps.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316303495378677857.post-42144950794008470672012-07-13T18:57:42.036-04:002012-07-13T18:57:42.036-04:00Thanks for that
