Our online calculator will help you to know that it is cheaper to install, energy-saving lamps or incandescent?
This calculator will calculate how much you can save money when using energy saving lamps in the room.
Incandescent light is an artificial light source in which luminous flux emitted by a body of the filament is heated by electric current to a high temperature, but as the filament is most often used the spiral of refractory metal (tungsten) or carbon thread, to avoid oxidation of the filament when exposed to air, it is placed in vakuumirovannoj flask filled with inert gases or vapors.
Energy saving lamp consists of a bulb filled with pores of mercury, argon and the ballast (starter), on the inner surface of the flask caused the substance (phosphor) is such substance, when exposed to which ultraviolet radiation begins to emit visible light and when you turn on energy saving light bulbs, under the action of electromagnetic radiation, the pores of mercury contained in the lamp starts to emit ultraviolet radiation and ultraviolet radiation, in turn, passes through the phosphor is converted into visible light.
All energy saving lamps have a very big drawback is the flickering that is sometimes seen with the eyes, and as a consequence is the flickering a very negative impact on a person's vision, eventually coating the phosphor crumble or fade through the lamp starts to be very harmful to human ultraviolet light, so these lamps is better not to use it at home, it is better to buy led lamps if you want to save, remember that it is better for your eyes, there is nothing conventional incandescent bulbs.
