Lamps of under consumption

Since James Watt invented the steam engine, think in comfort without electricity it is virtually impossible. The growth of cities has no solution of continuity and no measures were taken is possible to face serious problems with the electrical power supply. The use of products of low consumption represents direct savings for the consumer, but more than that, is an essential tool to rationalize a natural resource that is finite. In the seventies the oil crisis raised its price to disorder the industrial sector and alerted all of the need for new energy sources. In these circumstances was born the concept of energy savings.

Types of lamps of under consumption 

 The fluorescent lamps were created to consume me­nos and to surrender more. The difference with the classic bomb is that this emits light for incandescence and 80% of the energy utiliza­da it is transformed in heat and you grieve 15% it generates light. In the new format of fluorescent lamps, Philips achieved compri­mir the fluorescent system in the ballast, the base of the lámpa­ra, incorporating him/her electronic parts that give bigger es­tabilidad to its operation. While the common lamps last some 1000 hours, those of energy saving reach, có­modamente 12.000 in the professional models. The compara­ción in yield and costs is really overwhelming and it places to the new products in frank advantage. A lamp fluores­cente of 20 watts surrenders the equivalent one to a traditional lamp of 100 watts.

The Philips bulbs of low consumption are appropriate for jardí­and foreign nations in general, but also can be used indoors. In this case it should be borne in mind that were not designed to operate at the same pace as the common; Nomodifications turned on and off since the repetition of this operation shortens the life damaging its operation. Phillips was one of the first factories to obtain the certificate in ca­responsibility for the preservation of the environment in the factory process­of ISO 14,001 .

very important aspect because it is Pue­den to make energy-saving lamps but which do not pollute in its manufacturing process. Use items that are recyclable and do not contaminate the environment, such as the fluorescent dust that are painted with the bulbs no longer brings pollutants and can be recycled. The Philips bulbs of low consumption come in different shades: warm white of soft light ideal for use in environments such as cozy living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and corridors and cool with daylight color temperature more high, light brighter, whiter, creates an atmosphere of greater productivity, ideal for offices, eating spaces­ciales and gardens.
