Energy Saver Light Bulbs - LED The Clear Winner
As saving energy rapidly becomes a way of life, home owners search for energy solutions to the wasteful incandescent bulbs. More than 100 years after their creation, incandescents are still the bulb of choice in most homes.
Nearly one fourth of all energy used in homes is used for lighting. This fact can be tied directly to the inefficiency of the incandescent bulb which converts only about 10 percent of the electricity they use to produce light, the rest is wasted as heat. Incandescents are definitely not energy saver light bulbs.
Several decades ago a new entry came in to solve the wasteful problems of the incandescents. The compact florescent light, or CFL promised greater energy efficiency through lower electrical usage and longer life.
CFLs do provide greater efficiency on both levels. The average 60 watt incandescent can be replaced with a 12 watt CFL and CFLs can last up to 10,000 hours according to their ratings chart. It is important to note that this rating is made by only switching off the CFL once every 11 hours, so if that's normal for your usage, then the hours stand.
Due to the gases that make CFLs energy saver light bulbs, there is a warm up time and a degradation in the gas each time it is turned on and off. Much like the way an automobile would last longer if you never shut it off, CFL bulbs prefer to stay on for extended periods of time. The more you turn on/off a CFL, the shorter its lifespan.
The biggest problem with the CFL bulb though is the inclusion of toxic mercury in its production (a small amount of this chemical is used to increase the bulbs efficiency).CFLs are still housed in glass and glass is breakable, should you break a CFL bulb even Energy Star (a large proponent of CFL technology) has a "to do" list that reads like a hazmat clean up.
The energy saver light bulbs of the new millennium are light emitting diodes (LED). LEDs offer even greater energy efficiency than CFLs (one third better) and last for an average of 60,000 hours. Even if you left your lights on for half of every day, they would still last over 25 years, or longer than most people own their homes. You might never have to change another light bulb in your home.
LEDs are also of solid state design and this makes them tougher and more durable than any of their current competition. Best of all, LEDs use NO toxic mercury. The efficiency of LEDs can lead up to a reduction in home lighting energy use by as much as 90%. This is an excellent savings in money as well as green house gas emissions.
LEDs do suffer from high initial cost right now, but even with the cost of the bulbs as it is they still save you considerable money on your electric bill while keeping your family and pets safe from any toxic chemical mishaps. LED prices will benefit from increased public support, just as CFLs did when they first came out.
If you're looking for energy saver light bulbs that are also family friendly and last for decades, then look no further than the LED. A simple change like the light bulbs you use in your home can start you on the eco friendly lifestyle; helping you save money and the planet at the same time.

Can Cavalier King Charles Spaniel be "light brown" (lt.ruby?)? 1.5 yo surrender - family says she's purebread
THIS IS A RESUBMITTED QUESTION, BECAUSE I FORGOT TO MENTION SOME INFORMATION IN MY PREVIOUS POST.
I am the current proud owner of a blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I am about to adopt a rescue dog. Her surrendering family says she is also a purebred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. However, she is described as "SOLID very light brown". (I am fine with a mix, as long as she is a good pet.) Out of curiousity, could she be a purebred Cavalier? Has anyone ever seen one that is light brown? Is it possible she is a very light ruby? I know that rubies start out lighter as puppies and darken as they age, however, she is an adult (will be 2 in May 2008). If you don't think she is purebred, does anyone have any suggestions to what mix she could be??? Thanks so much! BTW, I don't have any pictures.
Yes it is possible she is a badly bred cavalier,it is also possible she is a mix.Mixes are often cocker but the designers are using many small breed with cavaliers.Your best bet is to have someone experienced in the breed give their opinion.
