Today we’ll talk about the pros and cons of economical lumiccent lamps, so fiercely imposed on us by the state.
What kind of lamps are these and why they save? So. Luminiscent lamp is a tube filled with mercury in pairs, with a device that ensures the excitation of the steam electrics, which are knocked out by photons, that is, lighting.
Now about the pluses:
1. They really save electricity. For example, if you purchase approximately equal for the issued illumination (not by cotton, but really, by eye, the checked light in the room) (0.06 – 0.02) W X 7000 hours (the minimum operating time of the lamp) x 3 rubles per kilowatt = 840 rubles of savings. And this is only on electricity.
2. Since the lumiconer lamp operates 7 thousand hours, and only 1 thousand, then to save money on the cost. An ordinary lamp costs about 10 rubles, and luminous from 50 (production China and Russia).
3. The factory warranty – that is, the damaged premature light bulb, is obscure to replace the warranty with a new one (I personally have not tried it, but the declared fact itself is already good).
4. Light pulsation is practically absent, which allows the eyes to relax.
5. If the house is so hot, then this lamp will definitely not heat the air, that is, you can and can be and can be in any quantity, including in high -temperature production.
And how without minuses:
1. The cost of the lamps is quite large, for example, imported lamps sometimes cost more than 200 rubles (even in a small -optical store, if you take a dozen at once).
2. Due to the content of mercury vapors, these lamps cannot be broken, that is, it is necessary to be extremely careful-mercury is very harmful.
3. Since the basement of the lamp is large enough, it may not fit in your old chandelier – you will have to buy a new one. Although, perhaps, in some cases this can be attributed to the pluses.
4. Not everyone likes the white color of the radiated light, although. Perhaps they will get used to it.
5. The British Association of Dermatologists states that the incessive light of lumicentic lamps can cause cancer and other complications in people with sensitive skin.
As you can see, there are enough pluses and minuses. However, we are still stubbornly forced not to choose, but to use what not everyone likes …
