| Confused about the upcoming "Light Bulb Ban of 2012?"

How
to choose the right Energy Efficient Light Bulb for each fixture in
your home--and save more energy and money than you ever thought possible
When the incandescent bulbs are gone*, which of these energy saving light bulbs will you choose?
- CFLs?
- LEDs?
- ESLs?
- Energy Saving Halogen Bulbs??

Environmental Engineering RE: The Truth about Energy Efficient Light Bulbs
Dear Concerned Homeowner or Renter, The truth is...you want
to save energy and you need
to save money on your electricity bills--but like most people, you're
confused. Here's
the problem you and every other concerned homeowner or renter face
right now... You've
probably already bought a few of those "curly" CFL bulbs and tried them
out at home. But you couldn't tell how much energy or money they really
saved. Besides, a lot of them
didn't
last as long as the package guaranteed--and the light they
put
out wasn't bright enough and had a strange color.
You're not sure if
you can install them in your dining room chandelier, because it has a dimmer switch. And
you've heard
that CFLs contain poisonous
mercury and cause migraine
headaches. Like
millions of other people, you wonder--is it better to wait for LEDs to
drop from $100 apiece, to a price that regular
people can afford? With
all these concerns swirling around
in your mind, how could anyone make the right choices?
But it's
worse than you think!
Here's why... This
problem isn't just going to go away while you bury your head in the
sand. The U.S., Canadian, Australian and European governments
have already
ruled that traditional light bulb technology must go. Their
reasoning is that these old standbys use too much energy for the amount
of light they produce. Using more energy leads to more air
pollution, and of course, more CO2, which some
believe will cause catastrophic global climate change. *Unless
its repealed by Republicans in Congress (and signed into law by
President Obama), the
U.S. ban
on standard incandescent
bulbs begins January 1, 2012. The
ban begins with 100 watt bulbs or higher, but it will extend to all
incandescent bulbs by 2014. That
means you may have only a few months left to act. And by putting off
your decision now, you're losing money, wasting energy, and possibly
making yourself and your loved ones sick. Luckily,
there's a solution...
--Introducing--
The Energy Efficient Light Bulb Buyer's Guide: Six
Simple Steps to a lower-cost, more environmentally
responsible home

WIth
the help of this clear, accurate and concise workbook, and
just a
couple hours of your time, you could
earn back far more than you spend on energy efficient
light bulbs. Like me, you could start saving real
money on your
electric bill, month after month. Plus, you'll have the
satisfaction of knowing you've done your part to reduce
your impact on the environment.
In Fact,
Here's Just The Tip of
The Iceberg of What You Get...
-
Save $25,
$50 a month or more--beginning with your next month's electric bill!
(Results will vary, depending on your situation.) See my own
savings demonstrated below and on page 8...
-
Know
for sure exactly which type of energy efficient light bulbs--CFLs,
LEDs, ESLs, or one of the new energy saving halogen bulbs--to buy for
each light fixture in your home (start with the home light bulb survey
found on page 10)...
-
Don't
waste time and money buying bulbs that won't work with your light
switches, that won't save you money, and that don't last as long as the
package guarantees (see the extensive Energy Saving Light Bulb FAQs,
beginning on page 36)... -
Calculate
exactly how much energy and money you will save with energy efficient
light bulbs--and how long it will take to earn back your investment
(complete details in STEP 6, beginning on page 30)...
Find out how
and where to recycle burned out or broken CFLs (and why you MUST do
this!) (detailed instructions on page 45)...
-
Set
up an easy system to get your money back on expensive bulbs that don't
perform as guaranteed (see the Light Bulb Warranty Tracker on page
29)... -
Prevent
headaches and other negative symptoms caused by too much exposure to
the
ultra-violet light from unfiltered CFLs (check out the FAQ on page
46)... -
And much, much more!
Here's
How and Why I Can Make You This Promise
As
a new homeowner just a few years ago, I suddenly became responsible for
replacing dozens of light bulbs that burned out far too
frequently. I tried some of the new compact fluorescent
bulbs, which were said to last years longer than standard
incandescent bulbs. To
my surprise, the first CFL I installed burned out
within two
weeks. The next one lasted only a day. After some research, I
learned why: The
electronic controls in most CFLs aren't
compatible with daylight sensors, which I had installed in
my porch light to automatically turn on at night and off at
dawn. Unfortunately, I
permanently damaged the fixture by using the wrong bulb for
the job.
After
that first disaster, I continued my quest for the right
energy efficient
bulb for each light fixture in my home. I
put my engineering training and journalism research skills to good use,
studying professional articles, government
reports and product literature, combing the Internet and haunting the
hardware stores. Over the
course of six months, I developed a
method for systematically replacing each light bulb in my home with the
optimum energy efficient bulb for that location. The results
speak for
themselves. You can see on the graph below how
my electricity use
dropped by an average of 19 percent a month for the first three months
after converting to energy efficient light bulbs: Here's
how much I saved
converting to energy efficient bulbs: | Monthly
Electricity Use (kWh) | 2007-2008 | 2008-2009 | Increase/Decrease |
|---|
| May | 1124 | 1588 | +
41 % | | June | 1828 | 2003 | +
10 % | | July | 1686 | 2376 | + 41
% | | August | 2481 | 2320 | - 6 % | | September | 2864 | 2096 | - 27 % | | October | 2069 | 1559 | - 25 % | | November | 1464 | 1535 | - 5 % | | December | 1570 | 1199 | - 24 % | | January | 1740 | | | | February | 1273 | | | | March | 1568 | | | | April | 1678 | | |
Before
August 2008, our monthly electricity use had jumped much higher than
the previous year, probably because of all the extra cell
phone chargers, computers and video game systems we added as the kids
grew older. But
starting with the very
next billing cycle after converting to energy efficient
light bulbs halftway through the month, we used 161 fewer
kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy, which amounted
to a savings of $16.
Just
think, in less than one month,
our electricity use went
from 41 percent higher than the year before to 6 percent lower! Over the next three
months, we
averaged a savings of $48 EACH MONTH! (For those
readers concerned about climate change, this saving in kWh translates
to 768 pounds less CO2 released into the
atmosphere from electric power plants.) Think
about it: Month
after month, year after year, you could save $25 to $50—or more—with
very little
effort or expense on your part (see DISCLAIMER below).
Your
savings could quickly add up, giving you extra cash to pay down your
credit
cards, take a weekend getaway, or build up your retirement fund.
With
these positive results, I
decided to help others get the
same benefits I've experienced. I wrote
the Energy Efficient Light Bulb Buyer's Guide to pass on
everything I've learned to help you reduce the amount of money you
spend and electricity you use to light your home. I know this unique
system will help you
save both money and energy--and a lot of frustration as well! But
don't just take my word for
it, take a look at this...
| "Become Educated on
the Kinds of Light Sources"
“A
consumer should do the best job they can to educate themselves on what
kinds
of light sources are available for the home. And certainly we’re asking
consumers to do a lot more than they used to do....Moving to compact
fluorescent technology is going to require a consumer to become more
educated.” --

"Regardless of Your Political
Persepective" “We
have put compact fluorescents in every light in our home and have seen
our electric bill go down about 40 bucks a month, so they do save
money…”
