Thanks for sharing information,and it’s both very useful for customers to learn more about the products and make a better choice for what they need, and also important for people in lighting business to know the developingof the lighting industry.

So I want to share what I got the information for Energy Saving bulbs”:

Warning from the British Ministry of health regarding Energy Saving bulbs

Very important

Warning from the British Ministry of health

Regarding Energy Saving bulbs

———————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Warning from the British Ministry of health about Energy Saving bulbs
These type of bulbs which are called Energy Saving or low Energy bulbs, if it broken i t causes serious danger! As much that everybody will have to leave the room for at least 15 minutes.

Because it contains Mercury (poisonous) which cause migraine, disorientation, imbalances and different other health problems while inhalation.

And many people with allergies, causes them severe skin condition and other diseases just by touching this substance or inhaling it.

Also the ministry! warned by NOT cleaning the debris of the broken bulb with the vacuum cleaner, because it would spread the contamination to other rooms in the house while using the vacuum cleaner again.
&n bsp;
It must be cleaned through normal broom or brush and be kept in a sealed bag and thrown right away from the house in the ban for hazardous materials.

Notice: Mercury is dangerous, more poisonous than lead or arsenic!!!!

light bulbs are good for lighting the home but stay away from incandescent lamps because they generate so much heat *,;

A team of scientists at the University of Cambridge has found a production method that could lead to cheaper LEDs within a few years.

LED lights are a technology that most EcoGeeks are hoping to see in widespread distribution. LED lights can be even more efficient than compact fluorescent lights, and they don’t contain mercury like CFLs do. LEDs also have a much longer lifespan, and can operate for 10 times longer than fluorescents and 100 times longer than incandescents. They’re just still a little expensive, up to $100 / bulb.

One problem with producing LEDs is that the substrate typically used for LEDs is sapphire, rather than silicon, which can be used for many other semiconductors. Many LEDs are made from gallium nitride which is grown into crystals at a temperature of around 1000 C (1832 degrees F). Unlike other electronic components, which can be fabricated on a silicon base, gallium nitride shrinks faster than silicon when it cools, which leads to cracking and failure. Sapphire has a rate of shrinkage and cooling that closely matches the LED compounds, which makes it a suitable substrate.

The University of Cambridge team’s development is a method to make LEDs incorporating aluminum gallium nitride, which shrinks much more slowly as it cools, and allows the production of LEDs on silicon wafers like other components. “A 15-centimetre silicon wafer costs just $15 and can accommodate 150,000 LEDs making the cost per unit tiny.”

With the commercialization of this process, inexpensive LEDs may become available, and a superior alternative for lighting can help save billions of kilowatt hours of electrical demand.
