"Battle of the bulb"


Bulbs are present in our homes and they are changing, becoming more and more efficient. The EU is doing new regulations in order to replace the old bulbs for the new ones (Compact Fluorescent Lamps), but people don’t like the colour of thir light, they think CFL bulbs are unattractive and they don’t fit into their classic lamps. They aren’t against the new bulbs, but they don’t want them for their house. CFLs have some problems which will be solved by new generation of bulbs, based on LED technology.

New words learnt:

Bulb - bombeta
Frosted – esmerilat
Phase out – retirar, deixar de produir
Retailer – minorista

I think the right way is not to try to simulate the original bulbs using LED, perhaps this can be
right only for the phase of “transition”.
You can also design LED lamps, working from the beginning to use the light source LED, getting the best.
We are working at this theme for a couple of years, take a look at:
