We recently came across a great news item about light bulbs – yes, light bulbs. Did you know that a ban on 40 and 60 watt incandescent light bulbs went into effect on January 1 of this year? If you didn’t, you’re not alone. In a recent study by an independent research company, less than 1/3 of adults knew these light bulbs would no longer be available.
Incandescent 40 & 60 watt bulbs represented 60% of all
the light bulbs sold in the U.S. The study also found only 10% of the 1,000
adults surveyed, were familiar with energy-efficient light bulbs such as LEDs (light-emitting
diode) and CFLs (compact fluorescent light). These energy-efficient light bulbs use up to
75% less energy and can last 25 times longer than the incandescent bulb.
