>Because they contain mercury, fluorescent lamps are classified as hazardous waste.
so we screwed the planet even more?
The amount of mercury inside them is negligible, something like 5 milligrams. About 1 million bulbs has a pound of mercury in it. Most of which evaporates then binds in the air to trace amounts of sulfur to make cinnabar.
*sovls your path*
Based, LED lightbulbs have shit brightness and emit an ugly, cold light.
thats a CFL tard, LED's are brighter, more efficient, last longer and you can adjust their colour temperature to anything you want. They used to be shit, granted, but they are now far superior. And if your want to be a queer who likes looking at a glowing filament for ye olde feel pic related are an option but you give away all their advantages.
what does SOVL mean
This is like KWAB all over again
the fuck is KWAB?
if you tell me what SOVL is I'll tell you what KWAB is
Romans, in latin used V instead of U but for added fun also pronounced it as a W or U. But that should help you figure it out, it's cringe as fuck.
Thanks friend. KWAB is "kek what a bitch"
Kevin Nash will explain it to you
SOUL
SOULLESS
I remember that light from that Resident Evil game.
I'll take the one that will light a room. What's the left one, a fucking night light?
Whilst CFLs are not as good as incandescent they still have soul. One might think they lack soul until one is confronted with that which truely is without soul, the LED. I can't believe I used to hate CFLs so much in the past, I did not know how good I had it.

If that's soul then this is God in Heaven.
both are antiquated technology
get LEDs Grandpa

if only you could time travel back a century to buy one
Cool where can I buy one? Oh I can't? Well shit better luck next time homosexual.
>4 watts
Old bulbs lasting longer is a myth. Efficiency is inversely proportional to life span. Its a trade off. That bulb is extremely inefficient and outputs hardly any light because its undervolted. A modern incandescent would last a long time as well if you ran it at a lower voltage. 1000 hours was chosen not because of some conspiracy, but because it was a good trade off between lifespan and efficiency. What would be the point of having a bulb that lasts a long time if the the cost of electricity far exceeds the savings from not having to replace the bulb.
Peeps are convinced that incandescent bulbs can last forever but the phoebus cartel artificially made life worse.
Of course the story is a little more complicated than that.
The cartel mandated a certain life span but it's not like a bulb with the same brightness and efficiency but with a longer life could've just been pulled out of thin air, at least not at the time anyway.
Cope more with your soulless two-year lifespan lamps
>it was a good trade off between lifespan and efficiency.
See, I'd almost believe this if they reduced the wattage of bulbs as well. They didn't, a 60 watt bulb still drew 60 watts even if it was brighter. It's a convenient excuse for forcing you to buy more light and buy more lightbulbs.
Of course, they could have instead sold "high brightness" and "long life" bulbs seperately. But why bother when instead you can cuck everyone and they won't even notice?
wtf i love home depot now
>nostalgiac
when the fuck did light bulbs look like that?
Rate my lamp LULZ
shitty fag lamp
;-;

You will never experience SOVL
Thoughts on the Phillips Dubai lamp?
does it explode?
I really wonder how much they are fudging the numbers with he efficiency rating.
Even with the absolute latest mid-power LEDs from like Samsung and Lumi, 200lm/w is a very hard figure to get for full system efficiency
>T.poorfag
Weird response considering I've probably spent more on lighting than most people will in a lifetime.
Either way I'm sure a sphere test would show Philips is doing something really goofy with the phosphor tuning
If you really like 580nm light and only 580nm light then go ahead
ITS 589NM N00B
SOX HAS ENTERED THE CHAT
I wish all street lights were this type.
For me it's the electric blue octopus.
one is engineered to fail at a certain time
the other is cheaper and engineered to fail after a much longer time
problem?
oh ya I forgot you can shine a bright led through a colored glass bottle and just like that it has soul
I'm straight
OLUS
HAHAHA YOV SVRE ARE RIGHT THAT SVRE IS AN ABVNDANCE OF SOVVLE
I WISH I WAS GOOD AT FINDING THE SOVVLE BVT I'M NOT
