In each legend, myth and story of Deepawali lies the significance of the victory ofgood over evil; and it is with each Deepawali and the lights that illuminate ourhomes and hearts, that this simple truth finds new reason and hope. Fromdarkness unto light the light that empowers us to commit ourselves to good

deeds, that which brings us closer to divinity. During Diwali, lights illuminateevery corner of India and the scent of incense sticks hangs in the air, mingled with the sounds of fire-crackers, joy, togetherness and hope. Diwali is celebratedaround the globe . Outside India, it is more than a Hindu festival, it's acelebration of South-Asian identities. If you are away from the sights and soundsof Diwali, light a diya , sit quietly, shut your eyes, withdraw the senses,concentrate on this supreme light and illuminate the soul.

How to Save Electricity | Energy Saving Light BulbsSATURDAY

Electricity costs for lighting in the typical home can reach 12% or more in

terms of your annual energy costs. So if you would like to know how tosave

electricity , you can conserve just by focusing on lighting. Energy Star

qualified compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are the right energy saving

light bulbs to save money on electricity bills and conserve electricity in

the home .

To put this into perspective, that percentage is about the same that the

average home uses for cooling and electronic appliances. I personally feel

that estimate is conservative; I seem to spend more and more time

reminding people in the house to turn of the lights when they are not in the

room, etc.

That is the on-going challenge of awareness and guidingpeople to change behaviors.

So why are compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) so great?

Just take a glance at our incandescent bulbs on the right, they have not

really changed during the history of electricity which has a long timeline of

many milestones, discoveries and inventions.

Essentially they combine the energy efficiency of fluorescent lighting into

energy saving light bulbs that can fit into incandescent fixtures.

Energy star qualifie d CFLs use approximately 75% less electricity that

standard incandescent bulbs. These low energy light bulbs have a lifespan

that is up to 10 times longer than standard bulbs. Therefore when you

install energy efficient light bulb in your home, the resulting energy savings

(electricity) is compounded over a longer period of time.

It is estimated that you can save on electricity costs by $30-50 over the

lifetime of the bulb. If you start adding that up through-out the house, well,

you will quickly find you will surely reduce your electricity costs and have a

fairly positive impact on your electricity bills. This in itself explains why CFLsare one of the best means for saving electricity for the home. They are

also one of the more simple ways to conserve electricity without having

to make a significant investment.

In any case, replacing light bulbs must be done anyway, right? Why not take

the opportunity to install an energy efficient light bulb.

So what is the difference between energy saving CFL light bulbs and normal

incandescent? The bottom line is CFLs are more cost effective and energy

efficient than incandescent light bulbs. They generate less heat and are

considered to be safer to operate, not to mention a potential energy savings

on your cooling. The good news is they do not require changing very often

once they are installed; the average lifespan is 10,000 plus hours.

In general CFLs function like normal fluorescent lighting that has been

highly used in commercial facilities for years. If you are familiar with

fluorescent lights, they have two basic parts which are the tube filled with a

gas and some form of ballast. When electricity flows the tube emits

ultraviolet light which become visible light via the surface of the tube.

There are two different forms of ballasts, one being magnetic and the otherelectronic. The magnetic ballasts can flicker somewhat when initially started

(like normal florescent lighting). The electronic ballasts light up immediately,

are more efficient than magnetic ballasts but can be slightly more expensive.

For the most part CFLs today are mainly electronic.

Where are energy saving CFLs appropriate?

They are most energy efficient when used in locations requiring lighting forextended periods of time. So the first place to for installing them would be in

the living room, bedrooms, kitchen, etc. You may not want to install them in

a location where lights are only turned on for a few minutes (closet). You

can do so; however the payback on efficiency (electricity savings) will be

slower in comparison to other areas. If you are not sure, ENERGY STAR

recommends using qualified CFLs in lighting fixtures that are typically used

at least 15 minutes at a time.

It is important to mention that CFLs are sensitive to temperature ranges

(specified normally on packaging) in which they work more optimal. Most

common CFLs are for indoor usage. There are models applicable for outdoor

usage; in this case it is suggested to enclose them in fixtures in order to

minimize the effect of the temperature sensitivity. This is not a must

although you just need to check if they are weatherproof and can resistscold outside temperatures.

What are the types of Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs)?

Today, CFLs come in a wide variety of shapes and fo rms to address common

needs. In general, the total surface area of the tube(s) will determine just

how much light is produced by the energy saving light bulbs. There are othercharacteristics such as the number of tubes (2, 4, 6) in the bulb. Some CFLs

have circular or spiral-shaped tubes.

Here is a diagram of the different forms of energy saving light bulbs and

where they can be used .

When choosing an energy efficient light bulb for your home, you will need to

take into consideration the wattage and with the right amount of light - colorrange of the light (warmth). For the CFL wattage, is essentially 3-4 times

less that of incandescent bulbs. In most cases, the equivalent wattage is

mentioned on the packaging. A reference point between incandescent and

energy saving CFL lights bulbs are:

50 watt = 9 watts

60 watt = 15 watts75 watt = 20 watts

100 watt = 25 watts

150 watt = 39 watts

You will also need to take note and purchase the correct model if your

energy saving CFL bulbs are to be connected to a dimmer switch or require

three-way socket fixture.

The shade or warmth of white light from CFLs is identified by a color

temperature measured in kelvin (K). The lower the kelvin number the

warmer the color of the light, a higher Kelvin number implies the light has a

cooler color. For reference, incandescent light bulbs offer a soft white light

(2700K 3000K), a higher kelvin color temperature (3500K, 4100K,

5000K,...) will emit a more white (bright white, natural, daylight) similar toperhaps halogen lamps.

In terms of disposal, you will need to treat them differently than normal

bulbs. It is recommended that you place the bulb in a sealed plastic bag

when disposing. The best bet is to check locally on the proper disposal

practice to be used.

It is quoted that if every single American home replaced only oneincandescent light bulb with an Energy Star qualified CFL bulb, it would

result in energy savings that could pay for lighting more than 3 million

homes for a year. This alone explains why it is one of the best ways to

conserve electricity , not to mention the reduction of greenhouse gas

emissions .

To conclude, introducing energy saving light bulbs in your home will allowyou to conserve electricity and save money on electricity bills. If you

choose properly the correct CFL bulb for the intended area you should not

notice a difference (other than saving electricity). It will require a small

investment beyond the price of incandescent bulbs. However the long term

reduction of energy costs makes this one of the most obvious energy saving

tips. Think about this the next time you need to replace a bulb,

start conserving electricity and then reduce your energy costs !

Lighting FAQ

We answer some of the common queries, and dispel some popularmyths, about energy saving light bulbs.

Q. Do energy saving light bulbs take a long time to light up?

A. Modern CFLs only take a few seconds to warm up to full brightness. LEDsreach full brightness instantly.

Q. Does turning a light on and off use more energy than leaving iton?

A. No. Switching on an energy saving bulb only uses the same amount ofpower as leaving it on for a minute or two. Turning the bulb on and offrepeatedly may shorten its life but normal household use shouldn't causeany problems.

Q. Do energy efficient bulbs produce low quality, harsh light?

A. The light quality of CFLs and LEDs does vary. If you want an energyefficient light bulb that produces a similar light as a traditional bulb then youshould buy a "warm white" or "soft white" bulb, with a Colour RenderingIndex (CRI) of at least 80. You should find this information in the small printon the packaging. Find out more about light quality and colour.

Q. Are energy efficient light bulbs as bright as traditional bulbs?

A. Yes, if you buy the right energy saving bulb it will be just as bright as theone youre replacing. Find out more about choosing bulbs of the rightbrightness.

Q. Can you see energy saving lights flicker?

A. No. Modern CFLs turn on and off about 1000 times faster than we cansee.

Q. Can I fit energy saving bulbs to a dimmer switch?

A. Most energy saving bulbs aren't fully compatible with dimmer switchcircuits currently. A growing range of dimmable CFLs is emerging however.There are energy saving bulbs that can be used with 'staged dimming'. Thisrequires a special sort of dimmer switch.

Q. Do CFLs contain mercury and is this bad for the environment ordangerous?

A. Yes, CFL bulbs contain tiny traces of mercury but not enough to harmhumans. However we advise taking care clearing up broken lamps.

Mercury is bad for the environment but in the long term using CFLs willreduce overall mercury pollution. This is because CFLs use 80% less

A. An energy saving bulb may take more energy to make than a traditionalbulb but the energy saved over the bulbs lifetime far outweighs this energyconsumption.(Source: Energy Saving Trust).

Energy Saving in Lighting throughReading Lights:One innovation that saves enormous power in lightis READING SOLAR LIGHT dual powered. Normallyin India students read under a 40 Watt Fluorescentbulb. In school and college hostels one Fluorescentbulb for 4 to 6 people. A Fluorescent bulb consumes40 Watts. Its life time is short. In voltage fluctuations(common in some cases in rural India), it won't glow.There are Reading Solar lights with LED (Best LEDfrom a Company like Nichia corporation, Japan)which can be charged by sunlight or electric

including USB. This lasts 8 hours. It costs around Rs400(about 7 US$) in India. It consumes 0.2 Watts.Moreover by this light one can concentrate on thematerial reading (especially students) we used tohave Reading lights in the past (Table Lightselectric). I suggest Schools, NGOs, Government canpromote these on a massive scale.

Each Kwh saved is each Kwh generated.
