The Flip of a Switch

In reading a recent USA Today article, An In-depth Look at Oil: Its Costs and Its Alternatives, I was reminded again, how oblivious our citizens are about most things that happen around them every day…”Plenty of readers live a black-box existence, according to Steve Weinberg. They don’t really understand how skyscrapers stay upright, how a sirloin steak reaches our dinner plate (food magically appears in supermarkets, right?) and how the lights come on at the flip of a wall switch.” And he is right, we all run around day after day, texting, emailing, going to meetings, and taking our children to their overwhelming amount of activities. Let’s face it, who has time to play Leonardo da Vinci, discovering how the human body functions, how to make something fly, or to paint oil on canvas with such intricacy. Let the engineers and architects of the world know how to suspend a bridge or build a skyscraper. Let the people at GE, Philips, and Dallas Light Bulb care about how the light switch works. What do we care about? We want the light to come on when we hit that switch.

High Wattage Incandescent Replacements?

DallasLightbulb.com is trying to keep up with demmands from consumers regarding replacement bulbs for the high wattage BR30 and BR40 incandescent reflector. As you may know the US government & the EPA have banned the manufacturing of high wattage incandescents. Here is more information to reference.

Incandescent lights

Under the law, incandescent bulbs that produce 310–2600 lumens of light are effectively phased out between 2012 and 2014. Bulbs outside this range (roughly, light bulbs currently less than 40 watts or more than 150 watts) are exempt from the ban. Also exempt are several classes of speciality lights, including appliance lamps, “rough service” bulbs, 3-way, colored lamps, and plant lights.

The phase-out of incandescent light bulbs was supported by the Alliance to Save Energy, a coalition of light bulb manufacturers, electric utilities and conservation groups. The group estimated that lighting accounts for 22% of total U.S. electricity usage, and that eliminating incandescent bulbs completely would save $18 billion per year (equivalent to the output of 80 coal plants. Light bulb manufacturers also hoped a single national standard would prevent the enactment of conflicting bans and efficiency standards by state governments.(courtesy of Wikepedia)

Some Affected Lamp Types:

50WattR20, 75WattR20, 75WattER30, 120WattER30, 90Watt, 100Watt, 120Watt, 120Watt R40&BR40, 75Watt 100Watt 150watt BPAR(Blown Par)

DallasLightBulb.com has replacements for the 75Watt-85Watt BR30 & the “standard true 120Watt BR40 ” Reflector Bulb:

If you still need the 120Watt BR or 40 we have them as well.

If you are wanting to “GO GREEN” !!! Take alook at our CFL (compact fluorescent bulbs) :

All for now.

Christmas Lights

Did you know there are only 65 days left until Christmas? If you put your lights up after Thanksgiving and take them down around March you will normally turn your lights on for about 35 days a year. it is never too early to order your lights. The earlier you order the better the supply and the less you will pay for them. If you are one of the last minute type you may be out of luck this year getting your lights if you wait too long. On another note consider using LED this year. The warm white are very close to the incandescents and the pricing is coming down.
