Having an efficient lighting is a great opportunity to contribute to reducing the carbon footprint as well as save money on your electricity bill, as this category represents up to 25 percent of total consumption in a house of conventional size. Unfortunately in most Mexican homes still incandescent bulb is used, the famous invention of Thomas Edison who already served more than 100 years.
The incandescent light bulb, ie, the well-known focus with its warm light, was one of the most useful inventions of the nineteenth century although its use is considered very inefficient. These lamps waste between 80 and 90 percent of total electricity use converting it to heat. The metal filament heated ledion well and is the center of the bulb becomes light only remaining power. Their lifespan ranges between 750 and 1,000 hours.
The main reason to keep using the incandescent bulb is its "economic" price since you can purchase up to 5 pesos, while compact fluorescent lamps can cost 70 pesos. These lamps produce light for 10,000 hours which represents a tenfold life that can recover its cost in the medium term.
Fluorescent lamps come in a variety of sizes, shapes and wattages. Providing light can be adapted to the needs of each person and may even be designed with a similar shape to incandescent. These lamps do not waste energy generating heat and even are cold to the touch. As if that were not enough, provide a more uniform light and less dazzling sight.
In our country, the National Commission for the Efficient Use of Energy postponed a year off incandescent bulbs shops. If you stop using incandescent bulbs, Mexico would emit about 9 million tons of carbon dioxide, equivalent to 1.4 percent of annual emissions of the country.
United States, Canada, Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Peru, Australia and the block of the European Union have legislated on the production, purchase, sale, importation and use of incandescent bulbs. In some cases the import and sale of incandescent light bulbs are penalized and several countries have implemented programs to gradually abandon this technology, but the fact that sooner or later these lamps will not only Mexican market but worldwide.
